TIL that I am a "keener" (not in any way derogatory), and so are some of my closest family and best friends. Thinking back it explains so much, from my academic failures -- I was held back a year in high school, then skipped a year, then dropped out -- to my anguish watching overachievers talk about their achievements. I'm only very slowly coming to the realization that not everyone is a keener and that's actually okay? I guess?

I still feel sorry for people who aren't keeners, though. Sorry, can't turn that off.
