About Me

I prefer to talk in person

Easier said than done but when it happens I feel a lot more energised, I guess that's how humans have evolved?

Phone/Online call is fine and that is what I use for communication but if I do get a chance to see a friend in person I will 100% take it.

I absolutely love talking one-on-one and getting to know someone's story. For a selfish reason I like collecting stories just like how Frieren collect spells.

My social battery depends on the people around me. If it's close friends the battery has infinite power. If it's a party with loud music and not many people I know, max 3 hours and I'm dipping.

Unusual findings about my mind

Weird thing about my memory is that I am really good at remembering pieces of info about a person. When it comes to other things such as school, my neuroplasticity is not as effective.

Sometimes I can't differentiate when I have a dream or a future vision. One rule is that if I remember the dream it won't come true. There are moments in my life where an event happens and I can recall it back to when I was sleeping.
