Suddenly a lot of my life makes sense.

I used to be. Now I've learned to exploit hyperfocus and people leave me alone about my quirks because I can put in earbuds and bend time.

When I need to engage hyperfocus I hang a sign on my chair that says "Headphones in, unless the building is on fire please make this conversation an email." And then input in headphones and listen to music too loud. That really helps me stay engaged with work for a while.
