Don't feel bad OP, I too realized I'm a brainlet and destined to flip burgers or actually force myself to try at a tradeschool

That's OK. It's not great, but it's OK.

My brother has a really high IQ and was in special classes in high school. Now he's a 40-year-old wizard living with my mom.

This is the hardest part of all.

I always thought it was a joke when people told there iq was like 120-130,

>got into uni without trying
>stopped going to classes just before the first exams
>left my apartment only for the grocery store
>wasted months before actually trying to get help
>starting from square one this fall hopefully if everything goes as planned
>currently on autismbux

at least I live in a nordic welfare paradise. I wish I was never born, normal life or any life for that matter was simply not meant for me.

To be fair it takes a level of intelligence to be self aware of your own intelligence

>tfw officially tested IQ of 140 as a 6yo (pychology doctor not some fucking internet meme test)
>as time passes i realize i'm actually autistic and only good at arithmetics and logic, can calculate and operate with numbers fast as fuck rain man like, pretty good at math in general
>can't do the simplest day to day things because i basically think to complicated or don't fucking get what to do

i'm only good at jobs where there is a 100% clear algorithm you have to follow. if there is anything free to interpretation or different ways to do the task i totally fuck up and don't know what i should do

tfw i am actually a human computer

>tfw kept being told I was intelligent as a child
>shitty childhood, so I thought I was retarded
>didn't start to think I might actually be intelligent until last year
Doesn't mean I'm knowledgable.

Write down what you think you know. You'll start to realize what parts you don't understand. You just don't have enough information. If you give someone enough information and enough time to digest it they can learn anything. Look at how many high school children are taught calculus.

I might've had potential as a kid but years of this sedentary lifestyle has left me a confirmed brainlet. I wonder if I can win back my brain if I try.

What do you think about the Collatz Conjecture?

There's good chance that you are just lazy though, you might have decent potential but just not the right mindset to actually do anything with it.

This, people overrate intelligence as a life quality deciding factor. Mediocre normalfags can have successful careers just because they manage to get along with everyone.

In my 20's I realized that I greatly overaggerated my

looks
height by about 2 inches
dick size by an inch
toughness
IQ/intelligence

>height by about 2 inches
>dick size by an inch

how do you overestimate these? Rulers aren't a suggestion, you know

Sorry i'm just autistic smart. I suck at mathematical proofs.

I thought I was 6 foot, I'm like 5'10.25. My dick I just assumed was big and its just average.

>I thought I was 6 foot,

yeah, but how do you come to an incoorect conclusion about your own height?

Like, what was the process?

>tfw depression has rotted my brain

>tfw thought i got this

Shut the fuck up you whiny, insufferable, verbose, ugly, and depressed turbo-faggot.

Yup sad things about getting older is that lying to yourself about your untapped potential becomes more and more of a meme. You eventually have to admit there is no potential to tap.

Well no one has figured it out. If you're an autist it might be worth learning about. Most people don't have the ability to hyperfocus like autists do.
From my understanding most of your issues are how you behave and interpret the world. You may not be neurotypical, but I'm sure you could still use your autism to do special things.

When they did IQ test in school with professionals and all and I scored 87.
Fucked me sideways but it explained why I needed to study so much more with each year to keep good grades.
After that I stopped giving a fuck, parents raged at school for destroying my confidence and "future" for a stupid test.
Guess they couldnt handle having a literal retard for a child.

I think it's more they realized the school was basically calling you retarded, and they felt it was going to have a negative effect on your life.
The fact you're on Jow Forums shows that's not entirely wrong.
School IQ tests are bullshit as well. You're probably of normal intelligence, or at least close to it.

87 IS close to normal intelligence, it's within 1 standard deviation. 87 is a normal IQ.

True. Most people are useless though so don't feel too bad.

Most of you will never amount to shit. That's just the bottom line. Most of you won't even live an average life, you're below average. You have to actually try, study hard, get a good degree just to be average these days. A lot of you are going to be like 40 years old working as a janitor or some other shit position making like 27k a year, no wife or kids, and just being an overall useless piece of shit. That's a fact jack.

You have a point. I hope the other user read our posts.

>87 is close to normal intelligence
maybe if you're black

An IQ of 87 means if you were in a room with 5 other completely random people, 1 would probably be dumber than you, and 4 would be smarter.

Is that good? No, but it's remarkably pedestrian amount of slowness. You can't shop for groceries without running into a ton of people with IQs in the realm of ~87.

Reese I fucking hate being a brainlet! When I got diagnosed with depression they had me take an iq test and it was only 102 fucking god damn it I THOUGHT I WAS AT LEAST 115 AAAAWWWWHHHHHGGGG

IT WAS THE ONE ADVANTAGE I HAD OVER NORMAL FAGS
