Hi, I’m a young women who wants to be smarter,

All my life I’ve been the dumbest in the room and have identified myself with being just the dumb one. My problem now is I have gained interest in history, philosophy and evolution. Important topics, I spend the time to research about it cause I feel guilty that I don’t know these things, and I get upset knowing I can’t engage in conversation cause I know nothing. I’ve been researching for 5 months now to gain more knowledge, I would say I know the average knowledge on these topics as someone my age has.. maybe a little less cause I have trouble remembering. I also have ADHD and I actually started my research when I got medicated cause I could actually take the information in. Nevertheless I would say I’m more in the loop of common knowledge, but still not there.

I guess I’m all so proud of myself for actually trying and spending the time to educate myself.

My other struggle is, I’m really bad at explaining stuff. So if anyone has any suggestions for getting better at that I would love to know.

Im saying all of this as I use this app to read people’s views on topics I’m researching to gain an opinion and see other people’s perspectives.

My point is does anyone else relate to what I’m saying and does anyone have a suggestion or “help” for this matter

I would love to hear!
