Hi Rob:

For me it's been very helpful to understand myself.
Note this is not something to be "cured" it's just the way some people are and the world needs those people.
There a book "look me in the eye" that's a true story about the guy who built the special guitars for the rock group KISS.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
