try some ritalin or concerta, that should do the trick, at least for some time.

Thank you for the suggestion; however, I support the pharmaceutical industry in only the most pressing of instances and do not believe in the saftey nor the touted effectiveness of their neurologicaly active products. I am also content with my existing herbal and amino acid based treatment. :)

> frequent unwillingness to even attempt non-shallow thought

That's just about perfect.

Sadly, I don't think it's an unwillingness, more like inability.

For some, yes, that is unfortunately so. I try to forgive others intellectual variations as I wish for them to forgive my social ones. For others it is a lack of training. In the later cases I inherently take issue with the fact that they don't make choices to improve their situation because it is in juxtaposition to my personal philosophy. I can't forgive myself for it so I have a hard time forgiving others. If I look hard enough I can find the forgivable thing that clarifies the situation and alleviates the frustration, but it is difficult and takes time. It also takes the willingness to understand and grow that they are not willing to show which triggers a tendency towards superiority that I try to keep in check.

I process thoughts much better in text than in my head so thank you for providing the outlet for me to clarify this to myself :)

It's difficult for me as well. I was brought up to believe I was superior because of my intelligence. I think my Mother did that so that I could use it as a defence. Later on though I realized that all that attitude did was put me further away from others. I was unable for a long time to see value in others I perceived as less intelligent as myself. I still have trouble with it, but I'm working on it.
