I was saying right brain/left brain functions. A least when I was in school at the time the left brain harbored logical thinking and the right brain dealt with creativity, but I'm sure brainology has come along way since then.
I've been embracing my uniqueness for over 45 years. But ultimately this has stopped me from hitting my full potential leaving me struggling on a day by day basis. I wish "I just can get over it" like I hear so many times.
