The identity riddle is proving to be very hard, so I have a hint. Here is an excerpt from the article “What You Need to Know About People from Group X” that made me exclaim, “But this is ME!”
But no Googling because that’s cheating:
The voice in their heads is louder than every other voice they hear. Others may doubt. Others may criticize. Others may judge and disparage and disapprove.
You don’t care. You see all those opinions for what they are: not right, not wrong, just data. So you sift through that data for the actual nuggets you can use. The rest you ignore.
Why? You may respect the opinions of others but you believe in your ideas, your abilities, your will and perseverance and dedication. You believe in yourself. And that makes you want to live your life your way and not anyone else’s way.
That’s totally me, folks. I decided that I needed to uproot my whole family and move across the ocean because I just needed to do a PhD in a field I knew nothing about. So I did. This is a description of a fanatic, and that’s what I am, a fanatic.
Another article from the same blog advises people to “actively seek out conflict” and engage in aggressive verbal fights with others to promote their own original thinking.
