I can’t tell you how many times I hear the same string of comments and questions. “Because you know what to look for, do you live your life in a constant state of paranoia” or “I bet you find yourself analyzing every single person that you’re around!” For a long time, I struggled to respond to these questions. They aren’t hard to answer, but finding the right words to try and convey how I felt was a challenge. The short answer is yes - I do try to analyze as many people as possible, but I don’t live in a perpetual state of fear.
