Latent inhibition.

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

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.

I think this is a question for BugZ

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

Yes, same thing *pats head* Well done

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

As an Engineer its all about the detail!

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

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

*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.

Not your fault, i was rather miffed at the porridge thing taking a serious hit...nevermind...it's a clear enough joke

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....

 

[old.Tohtori]

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.
