it's hard to imagine that most people don't think about things as much as I do. it's not because I'm smart, it's some kind of malfunction. it paralyzes me when I try to communicate outside of forums. other people seem so thoughtless and effortless in their actions. not stupid, just natural. they don't give the impression of having spent an hour drafting and redrafting a 6 word post because something feels off about all the possible ways of doing so.
