I Almost Never Know What is Going On

I like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent person.

I've written thoughtful and insightful pieces.

Editors are drawn to my perspective and take on things.

I'd often hear how my take on a movie wasn't something they had thought of, but was very insightful.

I have a university degree.

People will come to me for advice.

But the truth is, when it comes to group conversation, when it comes to understanding decisions people make, knowing where I stand in a relationship, or knowing what is going on in my social circles...

I'm mostly clueless.

Not that I don't care, but those aspects seem to demand attention and focus that strains my brain. I'm usually just left with brain fog, and I'm overwhelmed if I try too hard to master it.

I just need to accept that there is always going to be a significant part of my life where I feel a bit more like I'm stumbling than proudly strutting.
