Something that I've really only begun to admit to people recently:

I have a lot of trouble reading analog clocks, and always have. I mean, to the point that when I look at a clock on the wall, it's usually as meaningless as a wall socket or anything else that just sits on the wall, anything else you just tune out automatically.

I could blame this on spacing somewhat through the "telling time" lessons we all had in school, but the thing is, I have spaced through the formal instruction of many, many concepts and still managed to pick them up in my own way. I know we had worksheets on this, and normally that would be enough to catch me up, but just looking at the little clock diagrams panicked me as a kid because they seemed so utterly incomprehensible, and everyone understood them but me.

( Tick-tock, tick-tock )

I guess I feel like this has been building up lately...the realization that I don't know anyone with the same issue, and I feel alone with this and utterly stupid.

I just wanted to get that off my chest.
