I like this article. It covers something that, for me, often comes up in conversation. I have an intense fear of appearing stupid in social situations. I have often commented that I can't do many of the things that 'ordinary' people seem to find so basic. On the other hand, I don't suppose there are many 'ordinary' people who play the harpsichord and piano to the same standard that I do, who speak three foreign languages competently, who teach maths, and have a general knowledge as comprehensive as mine. I still don't know what I'd rather have. I'm not really in a position to say, as I'm still trying to learn how to be myself.
