Seems the secret to being more sociable, sleeping better & being generally more productive is learning to tolerate boredom. Bugger.

My French teacher told me I must boring because I found every one of the school clubs boring & just wanted to talk to my friends or read.
-
There's an expectation to have a wide range of interests & I never ever have. Always a very few intense interests. University was great.
-
I don't think I learnt a single thing in chemistry & physics. My brain simply won't hold on to information like that. It rejects it. Angrily
-
Which is why it's good we all have different brains. I can empathise with fellow obsessive nerds of all stripes w/out getting it.

Or rather, he wanted to say it, but knew it wouldn't be accepted.
-
I'm not sure he did. They're just told they're lazy & have to focus. Not encouraged to think 'This isn't for me' is an option.
-
Yep. That's what I meant by not accepted. It's thrown back back with "You don't know enough to decide."
-
And I think they internalise it tho. Or maybe it was just me. Never occurred to me I was actually quite bright but very bored.

I still remember look of sadness when I told my A level chemistry teacher why my grades were dropping.
