Not everyone can make that choice to just not think about it.... They're compelled to do it, usually due to some brain disorder.

For me it's ADHD, others have different problems.

I see. As someone with autism, I tend to observe things from a more analytical standpoint, which can be perceived as having an emotionless or black-and-white approach. But, this way of thinking actually helps me process information and evaluate situations more effectively, at least from my own experience.

It would. I've made a strong effort to see things analytically through my life. "Bad" things don't happen. Things happen, we determine if they are bad or good. Also, things aren't happening to me, they're happening and I happen to be there when they do.

I also speak to people from a matter-of-fact perspective, especially in my professional life, refusing to taint the situation with my opinion or emotion.

It's helpful.
