i have ruminated over my intelligence for as long as i have known myself, pretty much. i'm not smart enough. i've got to get smarter. why can't i get smarter? i got smarter! but this still isn't enough. i'm not smart, and no one can convince me otherwise! and these type of thoughts follow me constantly when i talk to friends, when i run into someone i deem more intelligent, when i "fall short" in discussing/analyzing something. i didn't think about it possibly being linked to OCD until now, but now that i do, it kind of makes sense. anyone else like this?
