Details, Details, Details

Post Reply New Topic

I can't be the only one in this boat! I pay more attention to details then to the big picture. For instance, I'll watch a movie and miss the whole point or message because I am enthralled with the undertones and nuances that the director purposefully hid in the script. Or I will be assigned (this is where I hate working as a team) a task, if each detail is not carried out precisely in the way it was instructed to me, I will have an anxiety attack. I fear that it wasn't done right, or that I will be under some kind of emotional scrutiny for deviation.

Real feelings knock me flat and leave me shell shocked! I have an eye and an ear for details and I am so highly analytical, that even my friends get annoyed. They say I'm wearing a social mask....I'm not...I just don't like to feel feelings. It's like being touched with a feather, or having an ice cube dropped down my back. I stick to the facts and the details.

Details rule my life!!

You and all the rest of us. It's one of the common AS traits.

When listening to a song I hear alot, I play a game where I just focus on one beat the whole song

I need to watch movies over a few times to get everything out of it that the director intended. Movies where the musical score is important to the script and not just background noise are the most challenging. I can't seperate the music out of the script.

I tend to be detail oriented at first, but forming a big picture out of many details isn't that hard for me.

It's definitely something I've heard of as a standard trait, and its definitely one I share.

I have issues with programming because I can't extend out to looking at something more than details. On the other hand, I can write up mathematical proofs because they're just a collection of details to me.

It depends on how to have to extend out how much focusing on details harms me. It's definitely been an advantage in other cases though

I don't really know what I do. I kinda just watch stuff.

Advertising is one of those things. I don't see the model or the clothes or the soda. I see the hidden messages that the advertising execs. are trying to imply. It's frightening and I rarely go out in public anymore. It's overwhelming, where as doing math problems, or going on a long hike are fantastic! My attention to detail serves me so well in these cases.

I often comment on the most tiny of details (as in a stone in the corner of a painting in an art gallery) as opposed the whole concept (the colour or faces on the painting).

I look at the whole picture....

I just pretty much notice everything. I don't seem to miss the big picture, I just see all the details as well.

My problem when watching a movie or something is that I hone in on insignificant details ,like why the character left his luggage in the car, or how annoying it is that one of those bottles in the background is turned the wrong way.

Dangit, brain! Just watch the movie!

I do this too.

YES!! Animated movies are wild cuz the character wears different things in the same scene, or something will disappear randomly. I love it!

I have am HD screen, but everything around the edges of words look slightly blocky...

There I (sort of) go again.

I'm like this. To be honest, I tend to miss the details too as my inattentiveness does its part. There are quite a few movies I had to watch several times until I got the "whole picture". Usually I'm the last who notice little annoying mistakes (goofs) on the screen.
