How do I gain common sense?
I lack what others may call common sense. My brain often does the bare minimum when given a task, not attempting to think. For example, today I went into the store to buy a birthday card. Very simple task right? I go in, I choose a nice and funny card ( I took time to choose the best one ). In the back of my mind I was thinking (“come on man, you are forgetting something”) as I head to the check out. I try my best to think, but can’t. I check out and go to my car, where my brother is waiting. He asked why I took so long. I simply tried to find the best card. Anyways, we write a nice message on the card. My brother asks me where the envelope is for the card. I say “envelope” as my mind goes “ohh yeah that’s what I was forgetting.”. My brother asks if I lack common sense.
I know this sounds like such a dumb and simple mistake, but this happens ALL THE TIME with me. I just want to know how I can fix this.
Thanks for reading.
