What am I??

[Rodafina]

Can anyone help to make sure I've got the correct definition?

@VictorR gave a useful link in post number 16.

I also thought your explanation was pretty good.

I think of spoons as something between bandwidth and resilience, if that makes any sense?

For me ego was the key to getting past social anxiety, which for the most part came from my expertise in my trade.

I wish I could do that. In my case, my social issue is not about any form of motivation or willpower or anything like that. It is about blindness. Vision does not have an exclusive on blindness. I am truly blind to social interactions. A visually blind person would naturally be fearful if injected into a foreign environment where they had to navigate across unknown obstacles - at the same rate as a sighted person. Obviously, trip-ups are inevitable.

Having said that, please understand that I know I am socially blind. It is me and I have made peace with it. I've spent my life struggling with trying to understand it, fix or improve it, but it is what it is. Yea, it would be great to cure the blindness, but that's who I am and I have resolved to accept it. No life is perfect and I know mine could be a lot worse.

Also, please understand this thread is not about finding a solution to any of my issues. I was just curious what your opinions might be as to what I would likely be diagnosed with if professionally diagnosed. But, it's not important! Just a casually curious.

I often use the term, "headroom". Do you think that is along that line?
