How is your hand-eye coordination?

Not to brag, mine is pretty good. Faster than I can see/follow and pretty well controlled. Only when towards the manic end of the mood spectrum. Let's call it cyanish mood.

I even had the belief/delusion that it could be developed into a superpower. Not very super, better than normal, and not easy to develop if that's at all possible, as I've found out. At least not without really messing with your brain, probably. And practice and confidence/belief.

Feet-hand coordination or any other motor-sensory integration is what I mean. Hand-eye coordination might just be a good yardstick.

Anyone "discovered" the same?

Is tihs raelly jsut me? I can't imagine it is (or I'll have to revise some theories, assumptions, (passed) delusions, or be more creative).

Yup, just you. Kidding.

Hmmm. Hand-eye, BF says mine is very good, citing arts abilities. I'll concede on that aspect ('cause I'm awesome, lol! ), but overall, I don't think so. I am particularly awful with kitchen utensils! (Yeah, that IS weird!)

Physically, clutzy. Definitely. Nickname around the house is Elbows. Always walking or bumping into things. Plenty of bruises to attest to this. Bumbling is so common that I scarcely notice getting them(!) Why, just a week ago I fell on the sidewalk from having stopped looking at the ground for a moment(!) So embarrassing.
It's weird, because I grew up figure skating. No problems.

I have problems but I think that's more that I have a lazy eye than anything else so sometimes when I'm focusing up close my eyes are facing 2 different directions. Years of meds have not helped (tremors).

My hand-eye coordination is okay. It was better than average when I was young, but arthritis and aging have had their effects. I'd say I'm about average now. Some things I can do better than others. I'm not all that good with the new video game controllers for instance.

Interesting stories. I used to and sometimes do still bump into things as well. Actually quite often. More so than others, as far as I know, but only when I can dream the surroundings, as it were, not if things move or if I don't know the place well. That's very interesting and I hadn't thought about that. It is in line with my theories.

I notice it with throwing, barely looking at a bottle I throw in the air spinning and then catching it, as well as with those square things pills are kept in (forgot the name), throwing those and catching them with the right side up, horizontally. It does take some concentration doing that.

Moving through crowds very quickly, between cars. Stuff like that.

With depression I can't do any of that well. Maybe just because I don't dare. It's definitely part confidence.

I never played video games much, but it's not the same, I think: it has to be a very rational thing, two "translations", from what you see to controls (which is very complicated an different for every game) and to your hands, it's an indirect route. If anything, we might generally be worse.

Stuff like that is great for psychological research. We apparently are quite good at it: quick to process. Reaction times are rather short.

It's not just faster thinking, also more "subconscious" integration, things that bypass reason, thought. More intuitive.

It touches on the core of our being as those with BP and SZ, I believe. It psychotic: irrational speed.

Mine is good but not excellent, but that's due to my eyesight being sub-par.

But to narrow it down (it might be cheating to reach a point, but I think not): what about catching stuff, if something falls to the ground or blocking a blow to the head, or something?

People should really throw more stuff at me: I'm not even sure about that one. I can be overwhelmed quickly, which would mess with all that. It's interesting.

It's a bit like "feel the force, Luke": staying relaxed, in touch with your emotions, intuitions.

That's also interesting. Mine isn't great either. Can't see much in the distance. Should wear glasses or lenses but I don't.

What about doing two things at the same time?

I'm really bad at that unless I really "focus".

Terrible. Simply can't focus. I get confused, overwhelmed, even agitated.
