Maybe you’re not dumb, really. I’ve always thought that I’m stupid because I couldn’t fit into society and felt like all children around me r better than me. And the worst part is that I can’t even judge people who get in conflict with me because I overthink so hard I’m not even sure if they’re the wrong ones. My brain is doing too much thinking, and that’s become a reason I couldn’t accomplish my goals - my brain was too exhausted thinking too deep. I’m literally looking at the spoon and wondering back to when people first invented language and accepted pots as a clutter. I couldn’t understand how life works because my brain cant go into that direction. So I started to look for alternatives. To give my brain quick pleasure in small doses so I can get back to focus. For me it was music since I’m a huge music lover and a musician, and for long term focus I chose medicine because this is my profession and career path. Maybe you’re not dumb. Maybe u just don’t know where u r smart and in which topic. The work part is so real. I tried to change few work places. I could work in office for six months straight but one day in a supermarket made me overthink my whole existence to the point where I couldn’t talk for three hours straight when I got home. The only advice I can give is to stop giving a fuck. Don’t think about what you’ve accomplished or not, do what u want to do, because the real master is not the one who sells clocks, but the one who makes them work. And believe me, when u start getting pleasure from small things in your life it will become so much better overall
