Anyone low IQ here? How do you cope? I hate being self-aware of it

This. I want to die.

Don't do anything that requires deep understanding of math. Try to focuse more on your physical well being. For example I try to spend at least 1 hour per day to get in shape that I can feel good in my own body. Also cultivate some interests that make you more intersting like the ability to speak good before others maybe learn some new languages or stuff like that. I go to church once or twice a week to listen to some organ concerts. Choose whatever you like. I also enjoy socializing with people from older generations because millenials are even worse than boomers and sluts these days are infected with mind viruses like inclusion and equality. Maybe find some veterans who can teach you something. Be creative.

DW, you can still become American president

Same but for all my years in engineering. Here the workload is pretty heavy (30 hours / week). And I've got a busier schedule than any of my colleagues (I'm also working on the software industry and studying EE) so I'm quite ok with it. I just wish I could study school stuff like I can study random shit I find on internet: with enthusiasm. School makes me want to kill myself.

A top 10 EE course in Brazil. Apparently, brazillians can't learn out of class, so we have 30hours/week with 75% of mandatory attendance.

I like embedded and electronics, user.

>How do you cope?
Dropped college, got a menial "tech" job, play videogames, started going out with friends and started smoking weed, get me an escort now and then.
I'm not happy but I'm happier than when I was a social outcast frustrated becaused I failed Calculus I 3 times.
You know the saying "if life gives you lemons...", I just wish I realized it earlier.

>Don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought is could give me lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s going to burn your house down! With the lemons!

I realized I was low IQ after a very long period of cognitive bias once I entered university. I thought I was hot shit because I always topped in physics & maths in high school, but the reality was that the people around me just didn't give a shit about those topics. Come university and I'm surrounded by peers who are insanely smart, insanely productive, shit out solutions to problems and who seemingly have no trouble with anything. They comprehend proofs like it's in their nature, etc. And on top of all of this, and this was the breaking point for me, they also have much more successful social lives. And they're attractive.
I never really coped, I'm just drinking away my savings and I'll figure out what I'm going to do once I run out. I thought I wasted my social life for a good reason, to git gud and get in the top percentile in tech but nah. Seems like I'm just not genetically predisposed for shit.

Underachieving feels good man

>they also have much more successful social lives. And they're attractive.
Yeah, this hurts. I don't give a shit about their smartness, you can work hard to become smart, but you can't fix everything else.

Once you realize that even if you put your very best you will be a mediocre engineer/scientist at best and can't compete with naturally bright people, the next step is to accept that it just isn't for everyone and start seeking happiness elsewhere, after all that's what life is about.

>start seeking happiness elsewhere
I feel like I've been doing this for multiple years without any actual progress. Things are done, but no relief is gained.
The things I want, are almost intrinsically the things I cannot attain, regardless of what they particularly are in that particular moment of time.
Eternally discontent, and I do it to myself alone. Broken human being, but only on the inside. From what I expose to people, I bet my life seems envious. Smart enough to know how dumb I am, the ultimate hell.

>above average iq is still low iq
that's not how it works

I know, I wasn't being sarcastic

I know what you mean, and I said in another post, I'm not actually happy as normal people would be, because I'm still aware I can't become what I actually wanted to be.
But I'm less misserable than when I was trying to uselessly get there, I'm "happier" in a way, I'll just keep looking for something to fill me up a bit and disconnect, even if just for a while and it becomes an endeless cycle to stay alive.

>even if just for a while and it becomes an endeless cycle to stay alive
I empathize with this.

Being self aware of having a low-iq is a paradox.
Being intellect and knowing nothing(aka science) is not intelligence.

You can start with Trivium learning ^^
Or the Natural Laws
How our brain functions (right and left side) and how it affects our intelligence if we dont balance them

So many ways. You need to start to DO something and not just cry. Read and explore.
Good luck!

I am very slow but I realized that brains alone are not enough to succeed in life, so I dont care that I'm not some genius like Alberto Einsteen. Politicians rely on advisors,and most big scientits focus on one field,because they know humans have limitations.

I try but when things get abstracted I get lost and fail to keep track of things. And when it comes to api's it's a whooole new thing to learn I just can't keep up.

>DO something and not just cry
Sometimes catharsis can help. I think I've become addicted to it though so I just do both.

iq is slightly plastic. if you're smart enough to recognize the intelligence in other people then you're smart enough to be at least as smart as them with enough work. if you're feeling inadequate, it's probably because you aren't reaching your full potential in some other way, not because you simply aren't smart enough.

a lot perceived genius and intelligence is just strategic positioning so you don't often look stupid to other people, and having the restraint and judgement not to venture into areas where you'll get your shit pushed in by other intellects. also, lots of organized hard work that is hidden from others.

true genius is incredibly rare, and even if you're lucky you'll probably only meet one or two people like that in your life. and your chance of actually recognizing true genius when you see it is low.

"Succeding in life" is a bit of a relative term, and at the same time it isn't.
Some people are considered successful because they started selling burgers in the street and ended up with an international multimillionare bussiness.
While I consider that a kind of success, it will never compare to being Albert Einstein or someone who actually contributed great things to the world.
>Politicians
They are just puppets, they are only considered "successful" by normies. They are just rich people with power, but they are by no means great human beings, I envy them nothing in that sense.
>and most big scientits focus on one field,because they know humans have limitations.
I don't see this as a bad thing, quite the opposite they are smart enough to know they can be great at one thing, and focus on that.
Most people are not great at anything, the so called master of none.

>I wasted my social life for a good reason, to git gud and get in the top percentile
If that's not enough suifuel, then think of all your former colleagues that never put in as much as effort as you did, weren't particularly smart either, but because they were good-looking bros and thots who can't keep their mouths shut for five minutes, they've managed to get better work and better salaries than you did. That's the straw that breaks the camel's sanity.
tl;dr

My own personal goal is to have tranquility. To be content regardless of the situation. It's different for all.

You can call me a dirty jew, but I don't see why anybody would want to contribute to world if there's nothing personal to gain.

I'm learning python right now and feel like such a retard, this is meant to be a beginner language as well, my hopes of studying anything more advanced are in vain

I have a mediocre IQ and its honestly pretty comfy.
Interviewed at a bunch of top tech companies and realized I couldn't think quick enough on my feet for them and solve their logical brainteasers, so I gave up on that.
I just got a job at a random company in the midwest that doesnt ask me to do much besides fix bugs. No more striving for the top, I've settled.

>Being self aware of having a low-iq is a paradox.
Its not, Im a dumb as a rock and I know it. Retards too know theyre retarded.
>Being intellect and knowing nothing(aka science) is not intelligence.
Again, wrong. Intelligence doesnt have anything to do with knowledge which is information produces by the environment around you. Smartest man in 1000 BCE would still be more intelligent than most humans but would in general know less than a high school student or an undergrad.
>You need to start to DO something and not just cry. Read and explore.
This is just wrong. People are interested in logic, mathematics and """technology""" because they have high IQ, thats why they read about them. To me high level, not some arithmetic bullshit is mumbojumbo, I dont read it because I dont understand it. Even if I forced myself to read it I wouldnt learn a single thing, its a waste of time.

I see this line of thinking a lot, "Smart people are smart because they study rigorously, they expand their logical capabilities". However its the opposite, smart people are smart because they are born that way. They study a lot because it interests them and theyre able to learn/take away from the literature unlike us average people.

>average
What a horrible par to compare yourself to.

That's great!
But we are talking about what makes someone a successful person relevant to the world, having tranquility certainly does not, it only affects you, as you say, it is a personal goal, a different thing.

I'm too stupid for programming threads and too smart to endure Jow Forums shitposts

though 'smart' is a bit too strong of a word

The benefit in contributing to the world is that the world gets better. That is bound to impact you and your descendants somehow.
If enough people distributed the load, society might be enjoyable.

Money is literally the only thing you need in this life and being super smart won't make it rain dollars for you. If anything it can be a problem since your high functioning autism will prevent you from making connections, socializing and networking in general, which will leave at the bottom of the barrel or at best in some mediocre software company slaving your life and youth away.

I've been depressed for so many years that I've become retarded. I sit for so long that my blood stagnates and my fingernails turn purple. Doesn't help that anxiety fucks up my breathing. I bought a fingertip oxygen meter just to make sure I wasn't in too bad of shape. It always reads 96% or 97%. Sometimes I forget what I was thinking 5 seconds after thinking it.

Maybe try exercise and aligning your skeleton. Chronic inflammation and other bad body shit can affect your mood which can affect your memory. Just a little over time gradually.

I'm 42go and have an iq tested at 134
No college education but I run my own business and make really decent coin.

Usually the smartest person on the room though my intelligence manifests in quick thinking and problem solving rather than hyper focus.

I feel my iq level is difficult as I am aware of all the problems, but the solutions are out of reach.

Though I wish my iq was higher I realise that I'm about as smart as people get without losing their ability to relate to other people. Mostly people bore me but I'm not autistic and can relate to people and make them feel engaged even when I'm not.

I can't do basic arithmetic and work in a call center. Life sucks being low IQ, yet I'm the 'smart' one at work because I know a little about technology. The barrier is real fucking low.

You could still learn it up to a point. You won't be a math genius and it might take longer than others but it's still possible to learn. My 19 year old self got destroyed by simple data structures in freshman year, I thought I was retarded but tried again a few years later (and actually put time into it) and did fine, I'm still the same dumbass but I cope by putting more time into seemingly simple stuff

I understand not shitting on the street because you yourself walk on the same street, but why care about shit that happens after you're dead? When your conscience is gone for good it doesn't matter if the world turns into a hellhole because you cant experience it anymore.

it's because you're forced to go to school rather than learning something out of necessity or for the fun of it. just like how you don't like being told what chores to do by your parents or something you also don't like being told what to learn. only advice i have for you user is try to find some kind of overlap between your hobbies and what you're learning at school.

It's a mutual benefit thing, in multiple layers.
The people before use did things to improve the world, they benefited from them then, but we benefit from them now.
There's also the aspect of people sacrificing their time for your benefit, the hope is that if that is a common practice we'll all scratch each others back inevitably. I may plant a tree today who's shade I'll never rest in, but I can take a break by the one that existed before me. The world has become easier for all of use incrementally as we all improve it.

you are not low IQ if you can use the computer

Never measured mine, but probably not so great.

Karl Pilkington's IQ is 83, and he's made something of himself. It's your responsibility, and a show of character, to make the best of what you have.

PS I'm just smart enough to understand what smart people are saying after the third time.
Some people think that I'm smart because of it.
Bullshit. Case in point. You just need to be able to read.

karl pilkington is a character bruv

you guys are such losers holy shit

Brain plasticity suggest that you can improve your IQ by working hard.

give me a better basis for comparison then, genius.

As a litmus test, if you don't know what this statement is

∀P((0∈P∧∀i(i∈P-->i+1∈P))-->∀n(n∈P))

you aren't high IQ.

>but why care about shit that happens after you're dead?
People might be able to resurrect you it the tech level is high enough.
>Jow Forums
Are you surprised?
No fucking idea. Figures.

To everyone complaining that they struggle to grasp simple concepts, it's probably because of anxiety. That's why we find it so hard to learn at school, but not at home.

Stop comparing yourself to other people. You don't have to be smart to make good decisions or be a good person.

This is a bully free thread.

you are bullying yourself

I feel like one of the worst things moderno society has done is feeding the Illusion that you can (and should) be anything. That's a lie, different people are limited by nature and telling them that they should strive for something they're not naturally inclined makes life suck hard and feel it up with anger and frustration.
It's like people say "back in the day people were happy hitting nails for some industry , now everyone is unhappy cus they're not engeneers.

Understanding this statement requires to know the meaning of its mathematical symbols. That knowledge is unrelated to IQ since IQ is innate unlike those arbitrary characters.

That is terrifying. I will make sure I'm cremated and flushed down a toilet.

>I'm learning python right now and feel like such a retard, this is meant to be a beginner language as well, my hopes of studying anything more advanced are in vain

Dont worry, you'll get it eventually. Coding is mostly understanding general concepts and knowing how to look shit up. These are things that take some time, but you'll get consistently better at it, even if you dont notice it.

This except replace a steady job with jumping from one shit job to another only to end up on autism bux. Actual high IQ here and it's not all roses. The ability to network is far more important than a high IQ

>The ability to network is far more important than a high IQ
This.
If you're satisfied with a mediocre life then it's fine because society exist to make sure it keeps even its most low-functioning worker drones alive, if not happy, but if you have or had visions for success then born with autism/aspergers is one of the debilitating conditions possible. Success is predicated on your ability to socialise, and it's possible to fake it to an extent but if you never learned those skills in your formative years then good fucking luck.

I'm 27 and I still don't know what I want to do with my life, which I guess means I should just commit suicide because I'll never make enough money to enjoy life.

you just lazy motherfucker who uses iq meme as excuse to not study.

seems like discrete math induction demonstration but I never saw it expressed in that way

Your experience is similar to me. I never really learn to study and only got passable grades in highschool. Come uni and I'm fucked because I never learned how to study properly and basically become a shut in.
The last straw was when my "friend" also apparently didn't study but he always got nice grades.

Mct oil,, pull that shit up jamie

>I'm 27 and I still don't know what I want to do with my life

Same, and it feels weird, because we re young enough to still do what we want but too old for companies to hire us without some previous experience in the field.

you just lack self discipline and probably watched 1-2 vidoe courses with a shitty teacher or cracked open 1 book and read 30 pages before giving up like most people.

and for the anxiety just eat psilocybin ever few months

>The ability to network is far more important than a high IQ
This is fact. And it's fucking soul-crushing to discover when you've already put all your eggs into the practical work and effort basket, and you're 20-21 years old with no contacts and minimal social skills.

At 21 there's still time to fix yourself.
After 25 is when job prospects go to shit, and you need to have already settled into a career.

My excuse was because I used to be bullied in school and never recovered so until now I have social anixiety just to talk to new person.
That or I have some undiagnosed autism.
