After poking around here for a while, I've lately been reevaluating some of the stranger chapters in my life (bit of a trap, that, I know.) I've always known that I've been ... different, but I had always attributed this to some sort of intellectual gap, since I was told from an early age that I was gifted. In the words here, I've found a mirror, and in that mirror I see different and somehow more coherent, satisfying understandings of my life's many moments of miscommunication. One particular phrase from a friend, told in good humor, comes to mind: "you know, sometimes you can be the stupidest smart person I know."
What do you see, in retrospect?
