I can't function right now...

Post Reply New Topic

I know this is bothersome, but I'm feeling kind of bad about myself, and I feel like I'm not as smart as anyone is. I don't really seem to understand anything right now, and I fear that I might have to be put in a group home instead of living independently. My mom tells me that an IQ score is just a piece of paper, but I'm worried that it entirely dictates that I'm an idiot. People in my grade either think I'm too smart or too stupid (e.i, I correct others' grammar mistakes, yet I scream at flies, I'm gullible, yet I am able to understand the meaning behind poetry and literature, I don't talk to peers of my age group, yet I obsessively read the DSM-IV, ect.), and I'm scared that my Performance Series in English decreased dramatically, and that I can't understand anything. I feel like I'm the only one who feels this way, and I can't quell the feelings that persist to nag me! I can't stop feeling this way!

I'm sorry if this annoyed you...

^^ Greetings KissOfMarmaladeSky. I believe that you have not annoyed me at all. I am very sorry that you are feeling upset.

^^ Initially, I would perhaps wish to state that I believe that there is little purpose in judging another by their abilities alone (I personally do not wish to judge any individual). I believe this due to the fact that an individual cannot choose their genetic makeup (and also the course of their lives - however I shall not discuss this in detail) (This applies also to humans and non-humans).

^^ I personally feel that one of the most beautiful concepts is an individual trying hard against odds. Now, I believe that "odds" is a very relative term, and differs from individual to individual depending on who they are. What remains constant however, is that individuals find some things very difficult nonetheless. I find so beautiful the efforts to conquer these difficulties.

KissOfMarmaladeSky, I believe that you appear to be trying very hard with your studies and within life in general. ^^ I believe that this is to be very proud of. As long as you feel that what you are trying your best, I see no reason to change your behaviour.

I am very sorry if this is horrible of me and not of help to you.
