[Icare dixit]

Do you compensate for being unaware of details or having a bad memory for details, bad explicit or working/short-term memory?

A distinction should be made between what I'd call, being detail-oriented and detail-orienting/-orientation. A distinction between being and purposefully doing. The autonomous process, as part of perception, by which details are noticed distinguished from a directed, intentional, deliberate action to compensate for a characteristic of (your) perception.

Do you overcompensate, maybe leading to anxiety akin to, or a form of, OCD?

Or do you feel detail-orientation comes naturally to you?

I do overcompensate. Changes in natural detail-orientation and memory (and consequently trust, in others and myself; also compounding problems with trust not strictly part of BP) make things worse, of course.

For example when writing. Dyslexia is (at least) part of the problem. But also a belief that no words are exactly what I mean, mostly qualifiers, so I use a few. Or I keep rephrasing (which is a great pedagogical way of writing, but I tend to do it, sometimes, when saying trivial things). Or things that rely on intonation. Being a linguist doesn't help.

When talking, I often forget words (or phrases) so I compensate by using a few or giving descriptions. When manic, I still do it, just (a lot) faster (and more tangential due to associations).

Ah, a toughy. No replies. You won't get any from me either.
There.
