Do you believe "Doc" is real?

[Doc]

I wouldn't ever take drugs as I don't feel the risk for me is worth the reward, but you seem to have come out fine, not damaged.  You are the type of person I would love to sit down and just chat with occasionally.  Some of the ways you present your thoughts just fit.  They make me think (as I believe someone else said) "Wow, why didn't I think of it that way?"

You are wise for feeling that way.

Having a physical conversation with me is difficult. I mostly grunt.

When I do engage in actual conversation, my talking and my thinking are haywire. I wont lie... I tend to talk about 4 or 6 things at once because my brain is thinking about 4 or 6 things at once. It's hard to explain. I am not sure how to explain, but it's a bit like my brain can multitask like a computer. I start thinking about something, and then while I am thinking about that, other parts of my brain start thinking about other things. And pretty soon the sound between my ears is a deafening roar because all these parts of my brain are all thinking about something. And when I talk, I have to be nudged on occasion to go back on track because I tend to talk how I think. While it makes perfect sense to me, it confuses the hell out of normal people. Because of this, I can process large quantities of information rapidly. Like... Right now as I am typing one part of my brain is thinking about the theory on the 11th dimension involving folded space and pockets and stuff about string theory. Don't ask me why... It's just there. Another part of my brain is thinking of ways to improve the viscosity and the "stringy" texture of the goat cheese I make when it melts. What do those things have in common? Well, near as I can tell with all the noise in my skull, string. Oh, and those string beans on the back shelf pickled with tobasco sauce would be delicious with dinner. Er, oh. I was trying to explain how I think. I have some difficulty in conversation a fair bit of the time. I have mixed feelings about it. I am quite chatty online, but away from the keyboard I don't say much. I grunt, or nod, or make a gesture, or might blow a dreadlock out of my face in annoyance. I use a lot of facial gestures. I might whistle a tune to convey my current state of emotion. A bright cheery whistle is a good sign, and it's usually safe to be around me, but when I start blowing a dire dirge, people that know me best evacuate the area. Human communication involving words is so... Limiting. I don't like it much. Don't take this the wrong way, but it annoys me that most folk are just to damn stupid to even attempt to communicate outside of spoken words. Makes me want to tear my hair out. One of the main reasons I just don't like people and can't stand to be around them. My wife is an exception. She and I have whole conversations with out saying a word. She has learned the whistling bit... We speak in the sense of raw emotions so that we understand what we are feeling because words to often get in the way. Some pantomime. A face, contorted in whichever way to express what should be said. A gesture with the hand or body. With her severe AADHD, it has become much easier for her to convey her emotions and feelings with this means of communication.

I just did it again didn't I?

Sorry. :blink:
