Yeah, I’m with you shutterbug, I wish that I had the ability to play an instrument! I just love the piano, the flute, and the violin! If only I could play one of those!!!!!! Or, all of those…. :( To play an instrument, and to be able to paint or draw! Those are talents that I covet more than anything else! *sigh* Instead, what did I get? Bloody ADHD! 😆

I’m very curious about your measures to ‘compensate’. What are they? How do you manage to pretend to be as competitive as the others? I was never able to do that in certain environments like the classroom, or workplace, for I don’t want to be competitive. It seems so absurd to be friends with somebody while at the same time trying to advance onself at their expense! That’s one of the many weird paradoxes of robot world that I just cannot comprehend…. 😯
