: I call this feature of my neurology/mind The Involuntary Calculator, and I also discuss its processes very broadly. It all makes perfect sense to me. Others often, however, call it unserious, chaotic, etc., though they don't mind when the end result appears.
Humans are weird, and I've learned to live with it.

Definitely normal in my world. π€·π»ββοΈ

That's why I put *polymath* in my bio. I have a history of brain injuries so want to keep sharp and keep learning new things. Plus it's fun!
If I'm not doing, reading, researching, SOMETHING, it drives me nuts. Mom and her sister developed dementia pretty early. Doing what I can to stave that off for as long as possible.

Yep, same. My dad had strokes/vascular dementia. Mom is showing mild cognitive decline at age 79. Her parents had dementia(gma) and Lewy Body Dementia(gpa). I've already got some sleep and emotional lability problems at age 52. It's scary!
That's awful! It's so hard to not know if we got The Gene. Mom started showing signs in her 50s. It was obvious in her 60s and she was diagnosed. She died at age 82. But she also had diabetes, heart disease, hydrocephalus, and no hobbies for her brain to engage in.

Oof. I had 4 concussions in 2011, a fall off the roof in 2002, a MVA in 2018, and a craniotomy to clip an unruptured aneurysm in 2015. So lots going on!
We need to wrap you in bubble wrap!

No joke! I've had 20+ surgeries. 10 on my crappy ears alone (Far North folks have different skull shape/inner ear disorders). October I had my gallbladder out/SBO the following week. 6 weeks ago I had a left knee total replacement surgery with complications. 4 weeks ago I had an emergency appendectomy. I'm running out of extra organs to take out! π€―
