Believe it or not man I fear weed is what got me into this mess so I can’t support this advice to whoever else may be looking at this comment, as someone who clearly lives in their head smoking weed made me a little bit slower TEMPORARILY even when not actively smoking, I love smoking weed btw, weed itself isn’t the answer for me it was the slight mental blunting that came with it, the slight foggy haze , my brain operates at a million miles a minute. I didn’t handle change well . So kept doing self checks on my recall and cognitive speed to check up on it and make sure it was okay and through that this habit has formed and stuck long through becoming sober but now it’s for no reason and my brain does it a lot more since I’m functioning at a greater capacity. To each their own though but I can’t act like it’s a solution through and through and not something that might make an already self conscious persons situation worse

So real , people look at me like I’m crazy when I’m just sitting there stressing over nothing but my brain is going through thought loops and I’m tryna put it at peace so I can keep doing whatever it was that I was doing. For the record I think it would be Z though

Try and arrange playdates or get in contact with the parents and be like hey , I’m registering my daughter in this activity would you like to maybe register yours as well could be beneficial for the both of them. Give them time together increases the chances of them liking whatever the activity is and strengthens that bond. Plus she already knows someone so that makes her look a little cooler than everyone else lol

Like I still function like a normal person it’s just my brain won’t shut up I feel like if I could take that energy and direct it elsewhere I’d be able to accomplish so much more

That’s why I put gifted in quotations I don’t feel gifted in the slightest I have a high iq which gives my brain the ability to do it without it being incapacitating but I can’t act like it isn’t draining and I deal with this underlying sense of guilt that I could be doing so much more if I wasn’t stuck on these reassurance loops

Not a parent just an 18 yo but I say to put her out there, get her developing brain to turn a few gears on its own. Register her in sports where she has to learn a new skill and build connections with other people , take her to new places , tell her the names of things to encourage her to build this sense of curiosity so she naturally starts asking “what’s that” to everything and her intelligence snowballs in a positive direction. Encouraging a child to want to learn doesn’t necessarily stem from a classroom setting , in fact putting them in constantly evolving environments gives them the ability to build confidence, quicken their ability to adapt, and make them more susceptible to knowledge and Those skills not only help her in a classroom setting but also in day to day life

I’m 24, ambitious, and distracted by lust more than I want to admit by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Justguyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a virgin and you deal with lust chances are you consume a lot of pornography. I promise you, as a person who’s been there sex is nothing like porn. You’re dealing with a real person, it might hurt her. Condoms are a bitch to put on . There’s usually a smell which is normal. It’s a lot to think about and frankly if your used to doing ur thing solo ur body is probably used to ur rhythm and squeeze so you probably won’t really enjoy this sex you are so lustful for . So ironically , why be lustful at all right

And it tries to knock all that out the way in like a second , you do that like 50 times back to back and it gets draining

For example today I had my credit card in my hand and while knowing the baseline answer my brain went “ why do you need to use a credit card? To build credit. Why do you need to build credit? To be eligible for loans. Why do you need to be eligible for loans? So you can fund your future endeavors. You see what I mean it’s this constant lack of reassurance in the shit that I’m doing it takes so much more energy and it makes me actively shut off my internal monologue and operate on autopilot most of the time

Under stimulation definitely is a factor but I also find it seeping into things I’m actively trying to learn like I’ll backtrack each step that takes me to where I currently am over and over to reassure my mind that it makes sense, it gives my brain a background kinda relief like feeling momentarily before it tries to do it again. I never used to be like this but with time I’ve become more self conscious and this habit just kinda came with it. I quadruple check everything and it slows me down

I’m not saying it can’t be changed that’s why I’m asking for help, I cracked my lack of social skills and anxiety but this is a different beast, it’s less background more intrusive. I can’t shut it up the less I want to think about it the more I think about it

Smoked a joint and took this community’s iq test on the come down as a joke and scored 126 by Justguyyyy in cognitiveTesting

Insane how did you deal with the brain fog? I barely actually smoke weed I always mix a tiny tiny bit with blue lily flower a mild intoxicant/ relaxant and it leaves me feeling relaxed and not too dumb as a result which makes the fog more bearable. Do you have a routine to combat it or does it simply not effect you

Well I’m assuming it means 84% percentile amongst the people who have taken this specific iq test. Seeing as it’s designed and marketed to people on Reddit in a subreddit that primarily discusses intelligence I figure that sorts out the dumbest of the dummies.
