I got it. A combination of ADHD, neurodivergent, and genius.
Whatever it is, is in me.
The ability to comprehend at lightening speed but EXECUTE?
Nah.
It has to feel safe.
What does safe feel like?
Nonexistent in the presence of others but most importantly not there when there are leaders.
You heard me, leaders warp the flow.
Not because of my own inferiority. That is not in me.
But because of conditioning.
Repeated verbal and non verbal cycles of ensuring I feel my authority leads to non safe outcomes.
If a person is not stopped by their knowledge, it would be their emotions and vice versa.
Our brains all work like that.
But not all brains work the same.
You see there’s what I got and a few other people got.
The stuff in us that says step 1-5 of a 10 step list don’t matter. We hit step 6 first.
Then there’s the masses.
They need to go in order, slow and controlled.
They need that push.
They need…each other.
But no not me.
Since moving away from my family two years ago it got loud.
That it that I have not been able to exude.
Undeniable miraculously self sufficient.
But I tried to tame it.
Took jobs I was too big for.
Joined gyms I was getting bullied at and again too skilled for.
Group bible studies that my theological and spiritual understanding could not shrink into.
Then it hit me.
Staying says my it is not valuable.
Staying says I rather be bullied than effective.
So I did what I always do to limiting classwork or things the like. I just quit.
Now that it thing is why I quit, not laziness.
Laziness and that it cannot co-exist.
Laziness fears that it.
That it will synthesize, analyze, co-emphasize laziness until it has nothing to do but run away.
It is this brain makeup only explained by those who have it.
Who lived it. Who know it.
We are sensitive to…you guessed it….bullshit.
Yes we are privy to life being based upon patterns not behaviors.
We can see a set up a mile away, call it out and clear it out.
But again that happens when we are where? Alone.
In crowds that it gets perverted.
We began to feel peoples energy.
I parked in a DMV space that was labeled “Associate Manager” and was thinking they’re probably never here that’s why they have a parking spot cause they show when they feel like it.
I joyfully exited the car and noticed a gate blocking the non employee entrance and was instantly frustrated.
The parking spot was not there because it was a quicker distance to the door I needed so I caught on that I’d have to depart.
Then it happened.
I see a white older fat male employee smirk with his lame suit on as he jumped out his basic car.
I could not contain “it”.
I said “Don’t say any white bullshit or man bull shit right now, just shut the fuck up”.
What prompted this hostility you may ask?
My mind categorized this innocent bystander in the space of people he looked like.
People I have worked with. People I have coward under..
Enraged I exploded but in only the way a genius can, under your breath as you race into your car and close door without eye contact.
You see we are wise. We know our gifts have a price.
We know our opinions are quick and right but not received well.
We know.
It is in the times I have come home from work questioning if I was being too harsh when standing up for myself.
The times I called out an unattractive manager female for copying me, her pretty female employee..
THE RESPONSES WERE WARFARE.
So we do what we know best. Minimize and hope to not get attacked for being good. Attacked for being smart. Attacked for being blessed. Attacked for being right.
But that leads to time wasted.
After realized I do not fit in and that societies socializing rule was a fallacy to keep us with “it” assimilated I broke rank.
Got fired from a job for alleged not hitting quota.
I hit it but if people cancel that counts as a fire pretty girl strike.
I hit it but if ugly female manager felt ugly that counts as a fire pretty girl strike.
I hit it but if ugly female manager sabotages deals that also counts as you guessed it…pretty girl get out of here strike.
So I realized. This will never end. Even in gyms. Being stared at while I film is not due to intrigue.
It is due to insecurity.
Being in rooms where people are insecure makes me want to conform and be their help.
This was a conditioned behavior through my ugly mom beating me senseless after she came home from being treated ugly AND dumb at work.
I can’t imagine how it felt as she left work, the least paid, the least valued but the most studied. You see although she was stupid, she had gifts. Social gifts unlike the rest.
So what would a system do to a person who is not smart enough to be confident? Make them train others to be her boss.
Infuriating bait right? But her mindset of keeping the job made her rage manifest in me.
The only part of her life that was pretty.
The bright part the smart part.
She obsessed with humbling me.
Making me wear ugly clothes. Beating me for being “smart”.
Her exact words.
Then love bombing when I got old enough to fight back.
So it happened.
I carried her trauma backpack for 33 years.
Today I take off the backpack.
My brain being this way is not ADHD. It is a gift from God.
My pure joy in isolation is not a weakness. It is a strength from God.
