[Torn Curtain]

I have difficulties asserting myself, but I'm more confident than I was in the past. I used to tend too much to rely on other people's opinion, even if paradoxically I'm surely intelligent enough to think by myself (I'm now certain than I was an undiagnosed precocious child, as I for instance used to read encylopedia from beginning to end and I had brilliant marks without making any effort. I've also always felt different and had relational problems in a way that's typical of "gifted" people - I live in my own world and can get bored pretty fast, and I'm more affected by emotions than other people - as I want to rationalize and understand everything, but obviously emotions are not always rational).
