Always fancied myself smart

same

Too many people are afraid to admit that they don't know enough about a certain topic and it's a damn shame.

I have a double digits IQ.

Whenever I need to do a group assignment I stay silent because I don't know what they are talking about.

staying silent and apologizing is how i survive

Only people who know how much they don't know about the world are the actually smart ones.

actually most people who are able to use a system even as simple as this are selected to be smarter than the general representation of whichever place

Was anyone here in the gifted class at their school but once they got to college they realized they were just slightly above average?

I know I'm dumber than most

I also treat them beer and snacks for the hard work they do for me.

witnessing the gap between "above average" and actually smart people was pretty despairing

Tfw just smart enough tio realize how dumb i actually am

>slightly above average
Still deluding yourself ?

most smart people are depressed because their thoughts are too complex and they're unable to have a fulfilling life

This.
Ive pretty much always considered myself smart and better than my peers for the first 20ish years of my life.

Im 26 nwo and I realize a few years ago that im actually pretty dumb.
Best realization ever, it feels good to not be delusional about yourself

Most of your flags are below average in IQ. No need to be ashamed as long you have a big heart :))

I always thought I was a bit dumb and slow when I was younger because that’s the impression my besserwisser nerd friends gave me.
But my psychologists claim in their patient journals that I’m highly intelligent (even brilliant if you can believe it)
I took some IQ tests too (not internet) and they consistently showed very high numbers
But eh, I don’t know. Not that it matters now. I’m probably too mentally ill to ever achieve anything anyway

this desu
at least in terms of general knowledge, the average Jow Forums user knows far more than the average person, at least here in Germany
that's what I've been told by a few people already
I'm not dumb, but I am socially awkward, at least until I feel comfortable around people, and that can take a long time or not work at all

Speak for yourself, retard.

>be a retard who can't do basic maths and struggles with logic puzzles
>still very cultured so I can convince people I'm smart

Yes, that's the power of culture

I do the same kek.

High verbal IQ and low spatial IQ. I'm exactly the opposite. I'm really good in math, but I have problems forming a coherent sentence wile speaking.

Same. For me it's just a cope machanism

This. People who spend an inordinate amount of time on the internet frequently forget just how fucking retarded the average person is.

Just go to the shopping mall on a weekend and observe them some time.

Math is closely linked with verbal abilities, though. You probably just don't read enough so you're out of practice.

This. This website is full of narcissistic people, that's why they don't have friends and romantic relationships

Everyone will learn it eventually. I spoke very carefully. 22 year old know it all zoomers will also learn how fucking stupid they are in the coming years.
Bluepilled
Extremely redpilled, self-aware anons that have overcome their narcissistic delusions of being the smartest person in the room. So many suffer from this especially those that are young and 99.9% of 4channel is guilty of it as well

According to you everybody is dumb. That is simply incorrect. There are some people who are smart and know it. Just because you're not one of them doesn't mean that no one is.

>But I'm kinda dumb actually
That's a high IQ self-realization.

>There are some people who are smart and know it.
Self-assured intelligence, the most reliable source. I think you're missing my point user. And yeah maybe what 20% of the population is smart depending on how rigorously you hold that standard. The thing is 80% think they are smart and most of middling or average intelligence speak like you do.. boasting about their big brains instead of viewing themselves through a self critical lens. I bet everyday you run yourself through situations you're clueless about, but because you're laser focused on the things you studied and did well in you are genius tier

Intelligence is relative tb h. Everyone is smart and everyone is dumb

/sci/ is supposedly the smartest board but there's still 99% autistic retards there who are good at some particular field because of cramming

Your post is full of mistakes, which reassures me of your low intelligence.
Many people who believe they're smart aren't. That is correct. That doesn't mean that every person will have the realization you had. Some people are smart and know it. Anyways, I'm glad you admitted to being stupid. The most annoying people are the ones who are stupid and unaware of it. Stupid people who are aware of their stupidity tend to be very pleasant to be around with.

>That doesn't mean that every person will have the realization you had.
Almost everyone intelligent does. Thin skinned zoomer brainlet

An intelligent person will realize that they're not the smartest person on this planet. I know plenty of people who are smarter than me, but I also know that my brain mogs the shit out of the average brain, including brains on Jow Forums. I absolutely destroy everyone I debate on this forum and in real life.

the problem is there is still no objective way to measure intelligence, and the only way people think someone is smart is by their major that they are studying or career they have

shut the fuck up, cringy autist

lmao okay dude

I went too far in the other direction. I have a bachelors in economics and masters in engineering, read philosophy and history in my spare time yet I still feel like a fucking moron

I have a really good job opportunity. Should i take it further immerse myself in my neetcave as a developing antisocial recluse?

Speak for yourself, retard.

Jokes on you I already know I'm a brainlet

If you are a native english speaker and you cannot answer at least 5 of these, I am afraid to inform you that you do in fact have an IQ below 110.

You have to be smart to realize you don't know things that's why that one mountain jew in this thread is most definitely retarded

I'm smart but lazy

>spend 10 hours max per semester studying
>3.7 gpa equivalent
>still cant find a part work because no social connections
It doesn't help.

Kill yourself, Mongol gypsy

This

Not an argument.

That's a huge strawman. I never said that I know everything. I don't know everything and that's why I like to debate people.

imagine being smart lmao

i wish
