The older I get, the less people seem to get me. I'll explain a concept that feels completely straightforward in my head, and it’s like I’m speaking a foreign language.
People call me a "pseudo-intellectual" for it, which baffles me because I'm not using a special vocabulary or trying to sound smart (to me, the thoughts are simple and the explanation is clear.) It’s starting to feel like the framework of my actual thoughts is the abnormality, not how I express them. It makes me think ima be a skitzo sooner the. Later.
At this point, anything that takes more than two minutes to explain has to be put through AI just to translate it into something people can follow. Which is embarrassing because I would rather not bastardize my writing for the sake of being understood. however, it’s worth it for legibility.
