Most Interesting.

Saw it off-hand in a series some time ago(or overheard it) and it kinda struck a bell.

Now i'm not calling myself a genius, but i do know i concentrate too much on details and have a very hard time concentrating on seeing "the big picture".

Kinda like, can't see the damn forest 'cause of all the trees :D

Other "symptoms" fit too, mostly creative stuff i guess, since i can't stop thinking about game designs(work) or graphics, in every day life. Funniest idea for a game came from riding a tram :lol:

Also, noticing details is a b*tch when meeting women(example). 'cause honestly, noones perfect, and when you see details, well, you see flaws and when you see flaws...

Just thinking if it's possible to have a mild case of such a thing? Or is it just on/off thing, either have or not.

You mean you cant see the forum cause of all the threads. But, that didn't make any sense :eek: Wait, maybe it does. That must be why you keep "planting" your own threads all the time.

Yes, same thing *pats head* Well done :p

I "plant" my own threads because i have things to discuss, ask, or comment on. Just like everyone else.

I post less threads then a few others around here :eek:

Hmm, maybe. Even on this forum you tend to latch onto some seemingly insigificant point and then hang onto it like a bulldog :p

Although, and I'll say this in every "omg I have a mental condition" thread:

self diagnosis is bad!

Oh i know. I'm kind of thinking i might have a problem with "big pictures" in general. Not to mention i don't seem to hold most of the views/ideas that the general census seems to be. Like for example where most people lol-run(post lol and be done with it), i look at the little things, other sides etc.

And yes, i'm not going to diagnose myself, just seemed fitting :D

*sigh* I have to stop being sarcastic with a clueless overtone to top it off (or any sort of sarcasm)... :( Just flame me when i do.

Uhoh, have to agree with Amanita.. While I do studies on psychological illness's I tend to find out that I have 75% of them myself....

Thing is, this isn't a "omgz i have this!" thread.

Zenith, with your studies, you might actually have a point of view, more then that.
