Through the arduous nature of life, I've become adept at absorbing and keeping track of a lot of information from my immediate environment
For example, I can set something down and I always let go in a way that let's me know if it'll tip over, even if it's a sauce bottle for a pizza in the middle of a rush
I can be making eye contact with someone during a conversation and I'll notice something that would behoove me to respond to in something as obscure as the reflection on glass or through my peripheral vision
I can even pull off spider man moves and catch falling things and prevent myself from tripping with a 99.9999% accuracy rate (I'm talking years going by with only 1 or 2 trips)
When you do things like hydroplane into a ditch because you're trying to get into the next lane and the asshole wants to maintain that 1 foot distance while your blinker is on and you notice he hits the brakes because a moped a few hundred feet in front of you suddenly becomes visible
Or if you jump off a porch over a bush because that's what everyone else is doing at some gold digger's family friend's house and you end up being the only one to tear the ligaments in your foot
Or you know when you drop or break things that are important to you
Or just fuck yourself over because of your own inadequate assessment skills
You learn to become so self aware you're always ready for anything
Some downsides though, I'm almost always mentally fatigued (persistent as hell though) and I'm never really relaxed or comfortable (except when I'm home with nowhere to be or nothing to do)
Interacting with people, it's hard to be in the moment with them. I'm always processing what I should do and paying attention to a lot of little things, both environmentally and socially
I'm mostly fine with those costs since I don't really talk to anyone for recreation and I have goals to meet
I do long for company though, which is probably my biggest interpersonal flaw, and also why I decided to come back here again
