That sounds a lot like social anxiety. I am also more intelligent when I’m alone. People would be astounded if they ever heard me talk the way I do when I am talking to myself. But I just automatically clam up as soon as anyone else is around and I am reduced to a basic monosyllabic vocabulary.
@shutterbug55 That’s um…..good, I guess? I can never remember my dreams well enough to write them down, never mind turn them into stories. And I don’t want to remember the frightening ones. I don’t have them anymore though (knock wood). I sometimes have very intense dreams, I guess most people would consider them nightmares, that will wake me up. But I usually fall back asleep and right back into the dream. Eventually I will wake up fully and get up for awhile which usually stops it. A common theme in these dreams is running, usually from some unstoppable threat that just keeps coming.
@Larynxa I get the racing thoughts sometimes too, though not as much as when I was younger. Mostly it happens before i actually get into to bed. I try to stick to a wind down routine but it isn’t easy when you have to work around other people.
