Interesting... I seem to have something like the opposite condition, where hardly anything from the outside world gets through without being classified and filtered, and I have to make a very deliberate effort to "live in real time".

>>I have a friend who is very quiet and can't express himself emotionally in any way. He gets freaked out by considering all of the reactions people would do "if" he said something before he says it...like a math puzzle.

Yeah, I struggle with this too. Contingency planning is not the answer to everything, unfortunately ;\)

>>Also my squad always wanted me on point because I sensed things no one else noticed.

Grunt, I'm the guy that *nobody* wants on point.
