I am grateful and envious: I would love to have the same ability. Stuff is crystal clear in my mind, and I still hardly can transform it into something someone else can parse… analogies are great, but finding the correct one is often beyond me

    I'm not a fan of analogies. They can be very condescending and convoluted and I find I dont learn much from them. I dont think there are any shortcuts to learning in that way really.

    I find most the times the issue I have with someone teaching me something is that they are treating it as a one sided communication. If the person teaching won't learn about the student, they end up assuming a lot of things and that is what breaks understanding.

    Analogies are nice when the purpose isn't to really learn but to socialize, though. Its more a way for people to acknowledge each other and show respect for the things we are interested in. Its a mutual thing in that way.
