Am i abnormal? i am told that i'm very slow

I am told by everyone that I am very slow and I know it too. At first, it was ok but now I am worried about it. I think it comes in the way of my everyday life. For eg: I find it hard to change lanes while driving because I look for a long time in the mirror before I decide that it is okay to change lanes. I don't know if it takes more practise or if I'm abnormal in some way. My other problem is that I end up doing things that are funny all the time. More like, I end up being funny without even trying. I join others in laughing at myself and am very sportive that way, but these days I wonder if I am abnormal because I end up being funny always.

    Depends. How long did it take you to write that?

    And if you are, so what. Takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. EVERYONE has value.

    I hope you don't hog the left lane. Cause there is nothing worse than killing your 180-200kmh-s to slow down for a slow driver.

    i don't think you seem slow from what you wrote here. i think its good to be cautious changing lanes.

    even if you are slow why would it be any bodies business to tell you that? thats not something you say to someone. there's a guy in my class who's slower than everyone else. no one ever tells him he's slow. that's wrong.

    i don't think its normal. it sounds like these people have convinced you that you're slow and that its ok for them to disrespect you and tell you that and are laughing at you.

    have you ever just tried to be faster and more efficient. if everyone in new york can do it, it can't be that hard.

    There are other words than slow. Cautious. Reflective. Laid back. Mild mannered. Sportive (you used). Your ow person. And a bit eccentric, maybe? Anyway ...

    You sound like an interesting guy who is fun to be with and your friends are lucky to know you!

    I am slow as well. Really slow. Fast paced city traffic is not for me. I give everything equal attention and that's not good. To much things in traffic and I start to miss stuff. My gf, my mom and my boss have all told me that I do things slow. Too slow as a matter of fact. But I don't realize.

    In my opinion you do not seem slow at all. You seem perfectly normal.

    Peers can be mean and say things that do not make sense most of the time. Often, if a person has heard that you are slow, they will follow by saying the same thing.

    Your example of taking a while to change lanes just means you are careful, not slow. There is nothing wrong with being careful.

    I don't think you should laugh at yourself when others do if they are picking on you. If you laugh too, it is saying to them that you are a punching bag or a push over. If they are picking on you, try standing up for yourself and they might stop.

    You shouldn't be ashamed to be who you are as you sound like an intelligent person just by reading your post.
