“Both creativity and eccentricity may be the result of genetic variations that increase cognitive disinhibition—the brain’s failure to filter out extraneous information”
Afternote: I found the above words when researching “an eccentric mind”
‘Below is where I start making my realizations’
This is what Leaky sensory Gating is, the inability to filter out extraneous information. Which relates to being highly sensitive. A lot of creative people are very sensitive to their surroundings, whether it be to sound or smells. This is a part of Low Latent Inhibition as well. They are all connected
- And while researching I just found out that I was experiencing sensory overload to the FULLEST while on buses. Extreme Irritability, always wearing headphones and closing eyes, Restlessness and all. Literally. Every. Single. Cause, Symptom and friend… That stuff gave me “PTSD” . I hate buses, I hate crowded places. Smh.
Now before today March, 30, 2023 I never knew I had been having sensory overload, though it does make sense when I have things like Leaky Sensory Gating lol.
I remember that unless you are a high functioning individual, things like this can either work in your favor and enhance your creativity or develop into psychosis. Scary.
Those aren’t exact words but the conclusion I have come to based on what I have read in the past.
