Due to being Schizoaffective, I've had to make my mind a fortress of resilience. I've hardened my brain to a ton of different stimuli in order to help master my mind. That said, if you know my particular weakness it can still come apart like an egg under a hammer.

It's like this statistic that most people think they are better-than-average drivers, which is impossible. Pretty wide-spread bias to think that oneself is above average.

My body is a clusterfuck held together by duct tape. I have adrenal insufficiency (no cortisol production) and other physical issues which mean I can't physiologically deal with stress at all. Too bad because my mind would be great at it.

Impressively, only 54% reported their body as being more resilient than average. That’s closer to being a possible outcome than I thought. I sort of assumed the vast majority of people would report themselves as above average.
