I’m so smart (1 Viewer)

Ahsoka · 2 December 2022

People who think they’re smart who say stupid things make me laugh

Like this is probably faked tbh but I don’t care

Boyo · 2 December 2022

Oh my… I shouldn’t laugh this hard.

Lol this is Lowkey part of why I joke about being an idiot and prefer criticism to compliments a lot of the time

I have no low self-esteem or lack of confidence for my intelligence specifically (iq intelligence ig, other types not the best

) and I don’t want to get a big ego or become arrogant or think too highly of myself like this

criticism tho (as long as it’s fair), tell me what’s wrong so I can become better, and keep my ego down

That's fair, at least I know I probably won't ever reach the person in the ops confidence, not to the point that I would make majorly dumb statements to a wide group of people. But my self esteem is pretty low so I'm too far on the other end I think

Oh I don’t have high self esteem overall, I just meant like I don’t think I’m below average intelligence or smth, like ppl call me smart irl and here too.

but sometimes ppl think I think I’m dumb (well in some ways yes but not in the ways ppl call me smart ig?)

I mean I do like it when someone calls me smart ngl, but if it’s in a situation where I know it could just inflate my ego, y’know?

so mostly things I know I’m decent at, I don’t like compliments as I don’t want to become overconfident or anything. In cases when they don’t inflate my ego they just make me shy tbh bc I don’t take compliments well at all

I basically downplay everything, problems, abilities, etc

As for criticism, as long as it’s FAIR, and also not just someone being mean I like it! Don’t just be mean

I mean I want to be the best version of myself and I’m a perfectionist so tell me everything that’s wrong so I can fix it! Ofc some things are subjective so if a critique doesn’t make sense to me and I still think I did well, I won’t take it to heart and be hurt, but I consider and regard every thoughtful criticism

ofc I’m ngl it does sting a little if I’m proud of smth and then criticism reveals it’s not nearly as good as I thought, but it’s a good thing bc it keeps my ego down AND allows me to make it better! It’s better than thinking to highly of myself or my abilities and making a fool of myself by becoming conceited, we wouldn’t learn without critique

compliments are better if it’s smth I’m insecure abt or just learning ig

but one of my biggest fears is complacence tbh. Not really scared of physical things

so yeah

I don’t wanna be arrogant or think too highly of myself and always become even better!

with covid tho I’ve become more complacent tho I hate it, just bc I can come up with something in a few minutes in smth that take other ppl days or can still do 50 push-ups without eating or sleeping enough doesn’t mean I should

Yeah I know what you mean, I was saying I'm different because I have low self esteem intelligence wise but I can appreciate what you were saying about not being to "wow I'm so smart"

For me critique is usually fine but when people go too far that just makes me feel even worse about myself unless they were idiots themselves and I realized that.

Yeah exactly critique being fair is key

don’t be mean and it’s all good, harsh is fine, blunt is fine

oh I feel like I realized I don’t have low intelligence bc I get compliments, it’s kinda bc of the complacence

like really I try to try my best in everything but in recent years its being less and doing enough to get by still turns out well and gets compliments, so imagine if I put in effort? And doing smth without preparing that people studying hard for and still doing better on my first try than their few attempt

ofc I know there are many people much smarter than me tho so I don’t want to get an ego, I just don’t think I’m dumb in the traditional sense

I did actually get bullied in elementary school for being “dumb” but it was more bc I was immature, impulsive and lacked common sense and social skills a bit, ADHD things
I also give that as a reason I don’t like or take seriously people calling me smart but they misunderstand I guess what I think of my iq. Generally I also only get smart when I’m in a bad mood bc then I’m more introspective and “deep” and I’m usually an impulsive happy idiot otherwise. But I’m good at winging things, so that too
