Being accelerated means having a life outside of normal society until you
learn to control it. Imagine waking up tommorrow, after someone does
something to you without your knowldege or permission, that accelerates
your the speed fo your hands and feet. You would probably brake or at
least sprain a figure when you went to open a door. If you survived to do
so, you might try to jam your toothbrush through the roof of your mouth, or
stab yourself if you tried to use a fork at breakfast. It would take you a
few weeks to adapt, during which time you could not be part of your normal
life, you would not be safe around, so you wouldn't see the folks you care
about, or do a lot of the things you normally do.
It wouldn't be plesant. Never heard of anything like this happening, but
I know I wouldn't want it done to me
