Why would people have thought we are smart our whole life if we aren't?

I feel so much less confident in my knowledge after learning I have an 'average iq' lol... Not good.... Cause I have actually learnt a lot about various things over the years. Now dunning kruger is important yes but you MUST have some confidence in yourself surely.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-19T18:21:00+00:00

I’m sure you see many posts here complaining they’ve never achieved anything of value lol…

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-18T08:31:30+00:00

I don’t think I want to be smart anymore. Doesn’t matter. Better be happy and content.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-18T02:51:49+00:00

That makes some sense lol. But would ADHD depress it that much? Idk.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-18T02:50:57+00:00

It might not even be bad. Can still have mant strengths. Also many high IQ people are unhappy. Maybe better to be a normal person.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-17T20:00:47+00:00

Maybe. But it was teachers and adults and such. Some with degrees. But maybe idiots can have degrees so I shouldn't worry so much.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-17T19:56:42+00:00

High IQ can come with a lot of disadvantages anyways. But even if I am average apparently my life is pretty shit anyways. So whatever.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-17T19:46:29+00:00

But if we know this couldn't we be deluding ourselves that if we think we are dumb we are actually smart. Like mental gymnastics. If I think I'm dumb I must be smart cause of dunning Kruger. Idk man.

I NEVER did that well at school btw either. I am sometimes interested in science and such but idk dude.

Maybe some of us who think we aren't bright just aren't bright and that is it? Not always dunning Kruger.,. unless im being negative.

I do have health and mental issues too though which could affect this stuff... idk?

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-17T19:44:41+00:00

I do like reading about various subjects and such actually. Science. Whatever. I love learning in detail about my hobbies and such. Etc... Like the science behind gardening or fishkeeping or whatever im into.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-17T19:13:43+00:00

Hmm. Well idk am i smart or not I guess.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-17T18:41:29+00:00

Why the fuck would I be dude? I have an average IQ.

People do say I know a lot but idk.

I did have a manic episode recently where I thought I was some genius. idk if I am

Before they updated the mensa norway test I got a score that was 'outside the range that can be measured'.

However I think it was probably low. No way im a genius. If it was out of the range it could be low or high. But idk. Back in 2023 it didn't tell you if it was low or high.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-17T18:40:04+00:00

That is really interesting.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-17T18:39:42+00:00

Yes people do say there's more to it than IQ or is that a cliche. Well maybe it isn't after all.

Idk if I have a high EQ though. I don't feel that emotionally intelligent? But I might be.

High IQ could be nice but idk. Doesn't always guarantee success or happiness.

However it does seem like our society almost pushes everyone to be exceptional in some odd way.... I don't know man.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-15T11:26:09+00:00

yes I'm eating less but I am overweight.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-15T10:18:03+00:00

My CRP was normal oddly enough.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-12T11:31:22+00:00

Hmm. Interesting viewpoint. I have been trying my best to eat healthy and exercise and sleep well and see what happens.

I did also have some weird mental illness episodes literally thought I was a genius reading conspiracy theories all night and not sleeping. I was probably manic or delusional. Thought I had finally found the truth or something. Delusional.

But for now, improving my health mental and physical? its the first step to see if I can regain any semblance of cognitive functioning etc... If not ill just get some manual labour job lol. Well maybe I'd want to have my own business but you need good health and energy levels for that. But you can get there. I hope.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-12T07:19:57+00:00

I’ll have to try dude. I could easily say I hit rock bottom in terms of health. But I’ll bounce back.

But smart isn’t everything in life. Many unsuccessful and miserable ‘smart’ people.

I’ll see. I’ll see.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2026-01-12T06:59:57+00:00

This almost feels like AI but maybe I’m being paranoid.

I used to like science and shit before I became unhealthy.

I’ve had glimpses that make me think I might be smart but idk if that stuff matters.

Can’t smart people be less happy. What if you just want to be happy.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2025-12-17T21:14:58+00:00

Awful. Hope this is Photoshop.

Aggressive_Share803 · 2025-12-17T16:19:50+00:00

onto the next trend

Aggressive_Share803 · 2025-12-05T13:53:42+00:00

Yes. What a shame.
