How Clear Headed Are You

[TheAceTheOne]

Okay, the title says it all.

How clear headed are you regularly? What about in times of stress? What about RIGHT NOW?

For me...

Regularly: Pretty collected. Talkative, though.
Stress: Depends. I can be decisive, but I do make errors when I'm really, really stressed.
Right now: Half and half, between collected and not.

I just got news a few minutes ago that my brother proposed to his girlfriend and she said "Yes".

So... right now... No, not exactly clear headed.

But generally, yeah, I would say so I try to keep sight of things when its necessary.

Aww...

Picture clear minded times 3. Then times that to the power of crystal. Then multiply that to the pureness of water. Then put a negative sign on it, because I'm the opposite.

My head is never clear. While I'm conscious, a train of thought speeds through my mind, regardless of what I'm currently doing.

 

[Blue2]

Regularly: Calm, little bored, Playing music in my head.
Stressed (medicated): Manageable, thought provoking, action.
Stressed (unmediated): Panic attack, Can't sleep, thoughts racing through my head.
Right now: Calm, Playing Radiohead's creep in my head, thoughts in and out.

I take meds for anxiety.

Not very, depends on the situation
When i'm in a stressful social situation i can barely talk it seems.
And it doesn't exactly get easier to think when being constantly prodded and questioned by people.
I often worry about the condition of my memory when i'm idling and saving stuff on the computer.
''Have i seen this before?''
Then i save it and see it the next day and instantly delete it.

This, I still FOCUS well, but that is simply prioritising thought, not clearing it. When I intentionally concentrate, which I can do easily, I work well and can solve problems, but the other thoughts are still there. Even when I'm making out with my girlfriend there is always something unrelated at the back of my mind, but that is always FAR less important

This does lead to the problem of being very scatter-brained when I don't focus though... This post is sounding like that Matrix now O.O [sub][sub][sub]Focus Neo Brandon[/sub][/sub][/sub]

Depends if the stress is rage-enduced. I want to break things when I'm angry.

Thankfully, that's a hard state to enduce in me.

Most times, I would describe my head as a vast pit of prior experience which quietly drift around not bothering anyone until it's required.

Likewise... though not so much with the making out bit...(!) Granted, I've never made out with someone without interspersing a lot of strange conversation... *shrug* *shakes head*

Again, likewise, though I prefer breaking faces when enraged, they self repair, most 'things' don't. /half jk

I'm the same all the time. I'm pretty calm and mellow.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I like to think I'm clear headed.

Regular: Calm, clear, reactive
Stressed: Haven't been stressed recently.
Now: Read 'Regular'

 

[Versuvius]

Oh god! Oh god! The flying toasters are attacking me oh god!

 

[Jedoro]

Regularly: I can cut out all emotion easily when making decisions
Stressed: Takes a lot for me to actually get stressed, but when I am it has a small effect
Right now: Pretty damn clear-headed, since nothing's going on

 

[MrLlamaLlama]

I think I come across as being incredibly clear headed to others, though I think it's sort of a bi - product from the extremities of the fucks I never seem to give. /incredibly convoluted English

But when I lose it, I go bat-shit after chilli night and 4 tequilas bat shit.

Uhmm... okay. Nah, for me, the less said with words and the more with body language the better, although my brain only keeps quiet when I talk, so there-in lies a problem.

 

[Da Orky Man]

In which way? When I need to, I can concentrate very well. But the rest of the time, I'm happily buzzing away. Even as I type this, I'm thinking about how human culture would change if we built an orbital elevator.

Daw, yay for your brother! (And your avatar pic is perfect for that. ^^)

OT: Usually I'm pretty clear-headed; even when I get pissed off or upset I tend to do the logical-to-death kind of arguing, and I don't get excited to the point I can't control myself. When I'm stressed I often think things through extra carefully, and when I'm thrilled I think things through really carefully but in a happier way.

...So yeah, I'm clear-headed/level-headed. I'm boring, I suppose.

 

[Polyg0n]

Regularly: Pretty collected. I am not too talkative and usually think about what I'm going to say before saying it out loud.

Stress: I don't function well under stress. In a really stressfull situation my mind goes blank, face turns red and my body may start trembling. It used to be worse a couple of years ago, but I'm slowly getting over it.

Right now: A bit fuzzy as it's about time to go to sleep.
