I'm not so intelligent. I'm just pretentious and arrogant. I admit I was protecting my ego all along, but now I'm finally free.

[Draconian Times]

I have never been the handsome one, or the tall one, or the popular one.

Throughout my adolescence, the characteristic I was complimented upon the most was my intelligence. I realized years later that I am not as intelligent as I thought or as I would like to be.

So I exaggerated. I debated people to prove a point to myself. Being called intelligent was my source of dopamine.

But now I can say I'm finally free. I sacrificed my ego. I'm not so intelligent. My IQ isn't that high. I'm a midwit. That's all.

I feel like I've lifted a weight from my chest.

Nobody cares how smart you are bro. Even people who literally pay you money as your employer don't care about your smarts - they only care about results.

Same here. I'm a low IQ piece of shit.

 

[UnwantedVirgin]

Yes, I did that, too.

Same, people just saw it as an autist telling everyone about his special interest.

Exactly. Nobody cares how high someone's IQ is if they haven't accomplished anything in life. It's just mental masturbation until results prove the contrary.

Yup. More people understand this the better. But denying that IQ limits a person's growth heavily is also wrong.
