Good day nairalanders,
whenever am faced with making impromptu decisions or to make positive contributions and suggestions towards a given topic .......I look lost.....

Even in discussion and during argument I find difficult to counter my opponent point view brilliantly(look as if thou am spewing gibberish sometimes).

infact.....most time I hardly understand people, some concepts and can't communicate properly with people(especially with first timers).

Although,found out I inherited part of the trait from my dad,but I believed it can be overcomed.

I need suggestions and advice pls.....my fellow nairalanders how do I improve my quick thinking ability?

I think you should invest heavily on books, read wide, I think that way, you would know a little about everything.

Stop thinking for some seconds and allow your subconscious mind to dig the right information out about the subject/topic from your brain's library.

It's called reflex

It's not really about reading but overthinking with conscious mind

Stop masturbating and reduce the frequency you have sex. The lesser you lose sperm, the better your cognitive ability.

I think your right, if the sub-consious mind is used to fetch information it would be easier to remember

Guy, in my observation you're having little sign of depression. Depression can be of any cause but majorly caused by overthinking. I guess the best thing to is to do is see neurologist or specialists on brain. Note: depression can be heir also and your previous word, you mentioned that your dad has similar case. Peace be on to you brother 🙏 💛

I have not had sex for the first time, don't even know how sexual pleasure feels like .....and I don't masturbate at all

First time I'm agreeing with this hellnius.
I already clicked on like before looking at the poster.
Dude, this doesn't change anything. You are still a bag of ***.

Listen to the radio, try to contribute if you can.
Read lots of books,
Watch foreign movies (30s - 90s)
Avoid Nigeria content unless the old movies.
Meditate daily
Think about things that interest you, and also your line of duty.
Listen to good music, music talking about life, (Classical, Roots Reggae, 30s - 90s Traditional Country Music, Old Jazz, Blues & Soul, 80s&90s hip-hop, calm relaxing classical)

That's where resting regular comes into play. Daily, we received loads of information which required our brain to sort accordingly into the brain Library. The process is normally during resting/sleeping.

As long as whatever information you have absorbed have been sorted out at the right place, whenever you need the informations, just allow your subconscious mind to do the digging.

Sometimes when you want to remember something like someone's name, if you notice, we always pause for sometime and pheew, the name came from no where

Stay away from drugs and synthetic weed. Read more and broaden your knowledge. Pause and think before you speak. And finally don’t engage people in arguments cause it’s of not benefit to you .
