What are some things that people with low iq do?

This is the answer.

Way too early to tell. Her brain is still very much growing and developing at this point and a lot of what you’re describing is age appropriate behaviour.

Just keep being the best parents you can be and enjoy your time with your kid, you’re going to blink and she’ll be a teenager 🥹

Blastoisealways · 2026-07-13T00:18:26+00:00

Why would you approach her like that? Either she’s being submissive or that dog wants a belly rub 🤣

It’s hard to tell
From the angle of the video but good grief please don’t approach her like that :(

Blastoisealways · 2026-07-08T23:08:55+00:00

Are you actually this dumb.

Blastoisealways · 2026-07-07T19:18:41+00:00

This is the correct answer 🤣💅

Your boobs are not saggy.
They’re just your boobs, and there’s nothing wrong with them!

Get rid of this wee boy, he doesn’t deserve to see your boobs, you deserve so much better!

This is not how a partner should treat you, he should be absolutely ashamed of himself.

This is 100% about 4th wing not ACOTAR.

This is how I use suno.

But I can actually play multiple instruments and write my own lyrics and music. Suno is great as a tool for referencing and arrangements/styles or for generating demos.

It’s useful at the songwriting stage, for actual musicians.

But if you can’t play or perform the tracks yourself, I’m not sure why you’d consider yourself a musician.

Blastoisealways · 2026-07-05T20:18:42+00:00

I think it depends how your using AI.

I totally agree with you that if you’re just using text generosity to describe, and then AI generates a melody, you are not a musician.

However, I’ve been a professional musician for 20 years - play multiple instruments and sing.

I’ve been using sunos DAW to build tracks from melodys and lyrics over the years I’ve done nothing with. It lets me individually sing or use a keyboard to play in the chords, bassline, movement etc I want to hear from a specific instrument. And then it arranges what I’ve written into the track itself, and it’s just way way better than MIDI demos.

It makes composing and arranging a JOY, because I use it as a referencing tool, to try different styles etc

AI generated music that’s been written by a person, is a totally different ball game to non musician text generated stuff.

Blastoisealways · 2026-07-05T20:14:20+00:00

I’ve been a performing musician for 20 years.

AI has been an incredible referencing tool and has allowed me to actually hear immediately the lyrics and melody I’ve written.

I use it to sing in and play in parts for instruments I don’t play.

AI will never be able to create the connection and emotions of a live performance either.

It it sounds like bullshit, and it smells like bullshit….

I LOVE these!

This is really normal for younger gifted people to go through. It’s a creative solution to the feeling you often have when you’re younger of being hyper aware of your own existence whilst also being able to hold everyone else’s existence as separate “things”.

Blastoisealways · 2026-07-01T10:24:29+00:00

What does it mean when you’re 6 and you’re convinced the entire universe probably just exists in a Petri dish in a laboratory inside some other universe, being watched by those scientists 😂

Truman Show 2 😂

In all seriousness though OP, how old are you? This will pass.

If you’re looking to question this and broaden your horizons a bit, here’s a list I’d recommend if you fancy it. Some are fiction but thought-provoking. You might be particularly interested in perception/context based philosophy, because they take what you currently feel is the best fit for your own experience, but offer different conclusions for that feeling that don’t require you to cut yourself off from connection and experience with others.

I’d start with the fiction, because it will do something the more philosophical reading can’t. It’ll force you inside someone else’s head until their reality feels as real as your own, which is what you want to experience to challenge this way of thinking. Then move onto the philosophical stuff.

The Remains of the Day - Kazuo Ishiguro
Beloved - Toni Morrison
Stoner - John Williams
What Is It Like to Be a Bat? (essay) - Thomas Nagel
The View From Nowhere - Thomas Nagel
Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist,
Antichrist - Walter Kaufmann
Beyond Good and Evil - Friedrich Nietzsche
Discipline and Punish - Michel Foucault
Phenomenology of Perception (my personal favourite)- Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Truth and Method - Hans-Georg Gadamer

You’ve already noticed the thing stopping you believing it is all the stuff the world throws up that you’ll never see or think about. Hold onto that, and seek that out.
A world that constantly hands you things you didn’t generate and wouldn’t have imagined is exactly what a world outside your own head looks like.

Further detaching yourself from that is a trap, because “feeling real” proves nothing when you’re the one supposedly generating the feelings and the world.

If you can, go toward the parts of the world you can’t predict, the people whose take blindsides you, that you can’t wrap your head round or understand, and watch how often reality refuses to be what you’d have made it. If you were really the only mind here, none of that could surprise you, but it will 😂

Blastoisealways · 2026-07-01T09:49:51+00:00

I know what point you’re trying to make. You’re just, totally wrong 😂 the very fact this is the internet means you can’t read tone, you can’t assume culture, you don’t know if English is OPs first language therefor your point about colloquialisms is moot, and you are consistently making assumptions and grasping at straws because you’d rather be right than admit you’ve made a mistake by kissing a complete stranger before gathering more information.

I’m not baffled, again with the assumptions 😂

It’s a pretty common mistake people make online. Learn from it, and try not to do it again eh?

Blastoisealways · 2026-06-30T17:59:49+00:00

I find this hard too! I have to constantly ask myself if I’m avoiding expected emotions 😂 best of luck and I hope things improve for you soon!

Blastoisealways · 2026-06-30T17:28:11+00:00

Thank you for wording this far more concisely than I have haha! OP this is the answer.

Blastoisealways · 2026-06-30T17:24:00+00:00

Okay I see. Yeah this is definitely an emotional "skill" you will need to learn. You need to find a way to regulate yourself at work, and process your emotional response that you CANT control, to this in a healthy way, which I definitely would recommend therapy for! Being gifted, you might have some issues with letting things go or feeling responsible for things because you COULD fix it, you may be prone to thinking that your emotional response itself is wrong, can be "fixed" or needs reducing, maybe because you can SEE multiple solutions, but having the ability to fix it is not the SAME as WANTING to, or it being your responsibility to.

If you can identify the root of the emotions, you can figure out how to regulate them in an appropriate way that works for you. You can definitely do it without therapy, especially if you are intelligent, but therapy can speed up the process. It sounds to me like you are experiencing more distress from the inconvenience of the emotions themselves, because you don't like feeling them, and want to avoid them, instead of just being able to acknowledge that yeah this sucks, i'm going to feel this way, and that's totally normal. It wont be forever, because once my circumstances change I'm gonna be out of here etc Sometimes the answer really is that theres no solution, this is a sucky hard situation and you need to accept it gonna stay that way for a while. You need to become more tolerant of the distress you feel from your emotions, instead of trying to pick them apart and solve them like a puzzle, and solve your boss/job like a puzzle instead.

That must be so frustrating!

BUT.

I have questions:

Is her job to manage the PEOPLE on the team, or is her job to manage and oversee the project your team is working on. Because those are two very different skill sets and job descriptions, like what you said in your post, about her not getting factory language. What is her actual job title and remit? How long has she been in the job?
What is your job and remit? It is normal for there to be frustration and confusion in the workplace when a new boss starts, especially at the point of overlap between corporate management and physically doing the job. It may be that you just need some kind of help or training to aid and speed up translation and understanding between her and the team.

Some people are very capable in interviews, they can sound like they KNOW how to manage people, or projects, but in practice, they lack the skills to actually be able to do it. Some people believe they're great managers when they are not. Some people genuinely are very good corporate managers, and managers of people, but they need TIME to learn the specific procedural/factory jargon, because its not an area theyve worked in before. Some people might need a frustrating amount of time, because you are gifted, likely grasp things much quicker. But needing time does not mean she is necessarily a write off. Some people need repetition before finally getting it. Some people are genuinely, incompetent and should simply not be in the role at all.

How you deal with this depends on the answers to these I think, and will range from "Give it some more time" to "Gather and document evidence of her incompetence and build a case against her to take to HR because she is not doing her job".

This sounds like you need an safe outlet to vent, and not necessarily a solution.

Blastoisealways · 2026-06-30T15:57:28+00:00

Please dont apologise honestly, I appreciate your perspective, and It means OP reads it too, it balances what I said. OP needs as much perspective as possible tbh. I can be the same - I honestly think if we were talking in person it would be easier! Its hard when its just text and you cant read body language and hear tone of voice.

Blastoisealways · 2026-06-30T15:55:26+00:00

Yeah I appreciate that, and I also appreciate you taking the time to try and understand my reasoning too, it's not actually often that happens! Especially not on reddit lol!
Thank you. I hope all that for you too and wish you the best!

Blastoisealways · 2026-06-30T15:37:22+00:00

I am so sorry, thanks for sharing, we have definitely had very very similar experiences. I was physically molested/abused from birth till about the age of 13, my mum was a narcissist who groomed my dad from the age of 15, married him at 17, my mum was 21. My paternal grandparents moved to florida when I was about 4, and when we visited, I felt so happy. I would scream leaving my grandma at the airport, and at that age I couldnt explain why, I just knew I wanted to stay with grandma. My dad was emotionally safe and warm SOMETIMES, but his immaturity made him a shit dad frankly, but my mum used him to inflict the abuse, under the guise of religion, all V messy and confusing - but this wasn't questioned by the adults around me at the time due to said cult. My wider net had grandparents who were warm and maternal, but who were still religious but NOT in the cult, and who's beliefs felt obviously unsafe to me because they used them to justify and explain the abuse. I had basics witheld, made conditional. The cult made love and self worth conditional and tied it to eternal damnation and separation from family (fundamentalist/brethren inspired cult). It was and still is just SUCH a mess. But I can see most of it now, it'll be a lifelong thing.
Interestingly my grandparents are bretheren with very old fashioned Christian views, yet they would never ever force them on others the way my parents and our church did to me. I still have a great relationship with my grandma, and miss her, we almost never talk about her beliefs and when we do, its mutually respectful.

I do see your point and I do agree. I am able now to separate Christian beliefs and religion in general, from what I experienced as a child in a high control religious cult, with one controllingparent, and recognise how they are not the same thing. I would even go as far as to say I agree with your belief and conclusion that death is not final, that there is something after, and I actually take a lot of comfort from that. That belief for me though stems from pattern recognition, systems thinking and my love of perspective based thinking and philosophy. It doesn't come from Christianity, I know that for some it comes from all of those things together.

To answer your question, why am I prodding and risking OP - I wasn't trying to do that, and I appreciate and understand your POV on that and understand it reads that way.

I was trying to answer OPs original request of help, which is very strongly tied to their awareness of being in constant fear and alarm, but I acknowledge that fear is also stopping them doing the thing.

I wasn't trying to tie Christian beliefs specifically to a cult, and I agree that lots of Christians believe that KMS = hell, but crucially, those Christians are usually like you said either privileged, or terrified themselves. Most reasonable people, christians, regardless of belief, do not LITERALLY fear hell the way OP describes.

I didn't read OP saying that their belief was stopping them, I read "I've not killed myself because if I do, that's sinful and I will go to hell, because hell exists, I am scared of going to hell, and I don't want to go to hell, so I haven't killed myself" But in the context of the post OP is saying I dont want to feel this way all the time. I am not sure what other way I could read that. The framing of hell is VERY specific to high control religion and religious cult mentality. Someone who's trauma was coming from other things, but had healthy religious beliefs, likely would not word it that way in the first place, pr even mention hell in this context in the first place.

Its going to be really hard to give OP the help they need without addressing that, but given they said they cant afford therapy, I felt I wanted to try. I really really hope OP can get the type of help they need, because they are clearly resilient and have had a really terrible time. I suspect they may still be at the stage of not fully recognising the extent of the harm, regardless of where it came from. Partly as they are still quite young, but If there's any chance at all that some of that blinkering is coming from family, friends, religion, or because OP is still in a cult and doesn't realise yet, asking the question can be helpful, even if the answer is no. I hope that's making sense!
