I'm a little slow sometimes

I've recently discovered that sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake. Sometimes I have trouble perceiving what is going on fast enough to either make a decision or say something that makes sense. This leads to some interesting situations, as you might imagine. Usually I think it just makes whoever I'm with really confused.

But at the same time, I sometimes feel like I perceive things too quickly, come to the wrong conclusion and that's how I mess up and put my foot in my mouth.

Maybe I'm just easily confused.

I think I'm often in my own little world and that's why I don't perceive things sometimes. My brain is often working overtime without me noticing it, covering up what is actually happening with scenarios of what might happen. Because I have to anticipate everything that could happen to me so I can plan how to react because I don't like being caught by surprise.

It's hard being a One.
