On a Speedster's perception of time and ability to function in civilian life
All right, I'm whipping up a speedster character. Figured if she's going to run real quick she'll have to think very quickly so that she doesn't end up as a smear against a wall. So, I did some calculations to determine how fast she'll need to think in order to run and I came up with a decent conversion. Anything that can be done normally in a single day, she can do in a second. In essence, she perceives a single second as 24 hours. It's here that I have a problem. Given the radically different perception of time, how would this affect the speedster's ability to function outside of costume?
*In responce to some comments below:
No, she ages normally she just perceives time differently.
I'm handwaving majority of physics and biology in relationship to the actual movement, and focusing on a more psychological angle.
