Hi everyone,
I am a 30-year-old male from Romania. I identify as an Extreme Systemizer and a Data Processor.
My brain operates in 'Lossless' mode: I collect and archive all raw data without automatic relevance filters. This creates a massive load on my system, leading to frequent 'System Crashes' and severe burnout.
I am here because:
Data Integrity: I cannot move forward if information is missing; I need to 'rewind' movies or conversations to ensure the archive is complete.
No Medication: I am currently not taking any ADHD treatment (like Concerta) because I found it only increased dopamine-seeking without providing a functional system.
The 'Doing' Gap: I struggle with the transition from theoretical data (understanding why) to practical execution (doing). When I have the manual but cannot run the 'executable' file, my system freezes.
I've had zero success with 'Lossy' therapists who try to compress my experience into vague emotional summaries, ignoring my technical architecture.
I am looking for other Data Processors who understand this lack of relevance filters and how to manage a system that refuses to delete or compress data."
Update:
Example of a recent System Crash: I just had a call with a delivery driver asking about road conditions (snow/access). Because I don't drive and haven't been outside to collect raw visual data, my processor had zero input.
When my mother tried to explain a detour (using a different road name), my system hit a 'Critical Mapping Error'. To me, those were just 'corrupted data packets' because I couldn't link them to a 3D mental map. I froze completely. I cannot process 'Lossy' or subjective descriptions like 'the road is fine' or 'go around the hill'.
Query for the community: How do you handle real-time logistical interactions (like couriers or directions) when you lack the raw data? Can a Data Processor ever 'learn' to handle these vague, 'Lossy' conversations, or is it better to just delegate them to a 'router' (another person)?
Additional Note on Information Architecture: I process reality much better through 'Closed Systems' (like Fairy Tales/Fantasy) rather than 'Open Social Systems' (like politics or complex social dramas).
For example, I fully understand shows like Once Upon a Time or The 10th Kingdom because they have 'hardcoded' rules and clear archetypes. However, even in these 'Closed Systems', I hit a processing delay when the timeline is non-linear—jumping from the present to the past and back again. It feels like the system is loading the 'Table of Contents' and then suddenly jumping back to the 'Introduction'.
In contrast, 'Open Systems' like the show Silicon Valley or real-world politics feel like 'corrupted data' because they rely on too many external, 'Lossy' social variables that I don't have in my database.
Does anyone else use Fantasy/Fairy Tales as a 'Processing Map' for reality? How do you handle non-linear data jumps in your favorite systems?"
