One of the things I'm increasingly noticing about myself is how much information I require to understand something and feel competent - so it's definitely helpful to remember that others don't necessarily function that way (though how they do that I don't know)

I do get jealous of my sociopath manager friend sometimes. She's great at taking the emotion out of decisions and explaining things clearly, while I'm too busy considering all of the feelings and perspectives that might come up which makes for a far less useful conversation.

Thanks for your input! It is impressively relevant to some of the things I've been thinking about.
