It feels like you are just simply trying to become the least common denominator with other people, most of the socializing is just simply bunch of random small talks, drinking, partying which serves no practical value at all. It does not lead to any improvement in valuable skills such as reading, writing, music, etc. It always annoy me hearing these people who were clearly very privillaged like good lifestyles habit such as reading daily, studying a lot, etc. And they feel bad about themselves and feel like they are "wasting their lives" all because they did not drink, go to parties etc. Like why the hell does that bother you so much??

Hey everyone, so this week I just started an english course that is basically prequsite for university and for goodness sake it is hard... I cannot comprehend, retain, absorb information. Like I am expected to write an essay about helmet play from shakesphere and I just incapable of producing large information.

Fuck this. This course would have not been so hard if it was not for my low IQ..

I am incapable of providing any intellectually stimulating conversations to woman and girls, they will possibly find me very boring that I do not have much capability intelligence is one of the most attractive thing that girls finds in men but sadly I do not have that at all it doesn't really matter how much of a kind person, respectful etc. I am I do not meet prequisite of getting a girlfriend.

It is why I do not even bother trying at all because what is the point if I do not have traits and skills that girls look for guys? Pretty much out of all the guys girls see they will for sure find me the worst one to pick.

Like I always need to re watch, and re-read lots of times just to remember and I really hate it, it makes it so much harder to study subjects

Like I really wanna become a very good programmar, not just casual one but sufficient enough where I would actually able to contribute to complex projects but it is so out of reach for me because of my limited ability... like in high school I took computer science class like 2 times and was unsuccessful. I really fucking hate having to deal with fucking high IQ people take their ability for granted... they act like it was all just "hard work" even though they had sufficient enough ability since the start.

I can read and decode words just fine, but my reading comprehension is always atrocious, I cannot keep track of plots, cannot keep track what is going on exactly in the book, this is why I hated English class back in high school. I always really hated "active reading" because it requires so much effort and ruins fun of reading for me and does not become "relaxing" at all.

I am currently stuck at working at cleaning site construction with my mom and I really do not enjoy it at all. It does not advance me into any meaningful career, doesn't help me develop advanced skills for other things. She forces me to work there sometimes simply because I can barely prove to her that I am capable of doing college, university etc.

I feel like it just is not worth the effort if it means you will just be dead average at best. Like why should I bother playing a game where you can never win no matter how hard you try?

Personality I never give a crap about "personal growth" I only care about external rewards, and praise of being #1

To me in terms of career it is either I can into prestigious careers like doctor, engineer etc. Or I just stick with jobs that requires no training.

When it comes to dating, EQ, social skills usually is not really enough, you also need sufficient IQ, I have a below average IQ and it makes me incapable of providing any highly stimulating intellectual conversations which is what women often love, it does not matter how high my EQ is, social skills or looks. I am totally bottlenecked by my own low IQ. I have to sadly accept reality that I will never find girlfriend and IQ is fixed it is not something can be improved a lot with practice.

I barely read any books, barely study unless if I really need to do it. I mostly just scroll mindlessly on internet and social media. I feel like life style has a strong coorelation with IQ like poeple with higher IQ often have naturally better habits effortlessly.

Like I cannot seem to get myself deeply into anything else like it is always so easy to just sit down and play video games for several hours but then in other things like reading books, practicing musical instruments etc. It takes a lot of effort to stick to it. It is super annoying as hell. Anyone else feel this way? Like what is even the point on trying anymore.

Even things like motivation, discipline, conscientiousness it has like 50% genetic influence, like some children are naturally much better with self control, self regulation while others struggles a lot which ends up dooming them much less success, especially in academics, IQ which is a prequisite for prestigious fields such as medical doctor, lawyer, engineer etc. It is 80% genetic. I am sick and tired of hearing people say how "hard work is everything, hard work beats talent etc." Sure hard work is important but without talent it becomes endless grind with no results.

Especially in situations like debates, at school etc. I always try to keep my mouth shut as much as possible because I already damn know my reasoning is going to be very flawed that I am completely unaware or cannot imagine. Is anyone else like this as well?

I am just wondering because I always hear people say how they got gpa 4.0 with no effort and claim they "never learnt to study" and never worked for it and which has left me very confused. Is it because they have strong internal drive to learn a lot? Or is it something else?

I always feel very inferior compared to people with average - epecially above average IQ I really hate it so much being only sub par I am pretty much having to deal with black pills with these things

I really wish my IQ was at least over 110, it is just enough for lot of academic fields like medical doctor, engineer etc. But my IQ is only in the low average range...

Being smart and highly intelligent is one of the most admirable and valuable human traits that I straight up do not have... even girls and woman love and prefer smart man and I am much less valuable due to my lower intelligence.. I see so many people getting constantly admired and praised for their high intelligence and by parents as well which makes me feel even more awful about my self

If someone wants to be highly intelligent, having above average is literally a prerequisite like no amount of "creativity" actually replaces it.

You cannot simply be smart "differently" if you have never once aced anything related with academics then you are simply not intelligent and many people are refusing to accept this.

Low IQ people are very happy - no we are not any happier at all especially due to the consequences of our low IQ like how you expect us to be happy if we have to face daily struggles because of our low IQ?? Low IQ is coorelated with problems like lower education, lower income, etc. So low IQ does not bring happiness.

Low IQ people are good are socializing, relationships - how are we supposed to be good at these if we tend to have less skills, useless at lot of other things, like how you expect a person with let's say, have IQ of 105 to be compatible with person with IQ of 80? That is like 25 points difference that can lead to much more dramatic communication difficulties and potentially lead to other person feeling more frustrated with lower IQ person, low IQ actually leads to more loneliness, more isolation so no. We do not have good social skills.
