And it can be cool to tell people who are living in your head rent free for good reasons. I have a processing impairment which made most math extremely difficult. I was assigned a peer tutor in my class when I was 10 who was sweet, patient and tried to help me. After finding out about the impairment in my 40s, i saw her at a school reunion. I thanked her for her help and patience. She didn’t realize how much she helped me and it made her feel good to hear that from me.

And I was a pretty quiet and shy kid in high school, but I made another classmate laugh and have such a good time on a school trip she told her kids about it.
