An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.
In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Love this! I'm glad you were able to come to learn what worked best for you. There are levels of academia and standardized is not for everyone, so it's great that you eventually did find your strengths!
Thanks. Coming to this realization has allowed me to leverage my strengths on the market and also in terms of output for what I care about myself.
I feel this applies to so many other people too, that they feel bad about themselves because of what they were taught, and just don't see how strong they really are in some areas.
For example a friend of mine has adhd and flunked everything. But when you are talking with her she can totally hyperfocus on you and absolutely be there. She's a listener and a healer. She has thank you notes from people all over her apartment.
She's also freakin poor and always struggling. I told her yesterday hey why don't you go into coaching? There is such a high demand for people like you, you don't have to be licensed, and I know you'd ace it.
