Yeah I feel like this is apart of it.
I'm genetic failure but even then I have above average IQ I could've succeeded in other aspects of life had I not been a lazy shit
I have taken a couple IQ tests, I always score 115-120 which is on the higher end however I have never achieved anything other than not being a bluepilled retard which I suppose is good enough achievement in its own. I have been successful at some esports and have hit intermediate elo on chess without much effort playing on low time control. I bring up chess because I think most grandmasters are high IQ, alot of former world champions being jewish, also esports is more of an endeavour of the mind rather than body.
But really I have had no massive success, then sometimes I see my parents and they seem like such bluepilled idiots sometimes I wonder if I even am smart or if I am just kidding myself as some massive cope, or carrying on the smart gifted failed kid meme since my whole class would call me smart when I was a kid, but that was only because I could do my times tables and additions faster than anyone.
This is clearly the fault of your parents. They should've pushed you to socialmaxx because kids and teenagers don't know any better. I also was gaming during most of my teenage years and my parents were fine with it so long as I got good grades and stayed out of trouble, fucking boomer cucks. Also seems like yours were helicopter parents, showering your 13 yo is miles beyond wrong.
Yeah so in cases like that I would say, they should have spoken to me more about how I will not have friends growing up, I always just assumed I would always have friends for awhile until I got married and had kids, looking at videos my parents had taken of their lives and what they told me, they basically had friends and then they barely saw them as much once they had kids and stuff so I assumed my life would go like that, my parents would say its good to get out a little but they should have scared me more with the realities of the world, instead I was too scared to go out because they shielded me too much, so encouraging me to go outside by just saying "it will be fun" is not enough.
I think gaming is/could be fine, I genuinely enjoyed it up until 18, im over gaming now, my gaming could have been managed properly if I was normal but it became a crutch for being so immature, even though 13 is young I was behind my peers.
My parents certainly were helicopter parents, now they just leave me to rot in my room, my mother would always walk me to school make me hug her goodbye, be there at the door when I got home, once I had 2 people follow me home from school (again also 13 here) they would follow me home from school for weeks to see my mother greet me at my door to hug me and I got bullied for it.
It was helicoptering out of love, this sort of OVER loveness of me, to still bathe me at 13, they would physically wash my hands for me out of love up until 9 or 10. I could not tie my own shoe laces until 11 they always did it for me.
I don't know, maybe its just gaslighting from my parents that makes me think I could have done more, or maybe now that I am older and wiser hindsights just 20/20. I was a scared and dumb kid but I was at least always nice.
