Why is it so sad to be stupid?

Question

i had always been clumsy and once suffered a serious self-esteem issue.

i had always been disorganized

i can always easily misunderstand people's statement.

i can easily let go of everything on my hands when it comes to taking this thing from a bag to do another thing that is handed directly in front of me.

i had always been under confusion, making wrong choices.

i can't really get the real idea of being careful, as i always have it doubtful.

instead of doing things patiently, i tend to do it dumbly.

when it comes to being quick, it's a hasty one for me.

i'm always late for appointments: classes, meetings, test, etc. and although i'm getting better in overcome it, i still don't understand why it had been very noticeable when i'm late, but not when others are just the same, always-late. the worst thing is when i had really learn to be early and made it on the time, i was actually wrong since the clock was actually set 20 minutes later than the exact time.

i have problems in uttering words clearly for a complete explanation although i do actually have good points and language usage.

more than 80 percent of my thoughts in a day are spend on "how can i do this and that accurately", leaving me no time for friends and classmates, not even making a simple deal with them to walk to class together. this had made me always alone since i'm not of any sorority although i do actually have good social skills and can easily get connected with anyone regardless their kinds, which totally oppose myself before who didn't even dare to look at people.

once i was a bullied, and now kinda admired. although now i might look totally opposite from myself before who was a dumb, coward and bullied always, but i still tend to appeal stupid occasionally; and can't get rid of it.

i hardly get the normal life management of a sane, growing young adult. i don't know why i'm so stupid. crying about it is what i could do. i can't turn back time and that's the problem. i still don't understand why must i be so stupid although at the same time i do have high wisdom and intelligence regarding life, mentality, ideology, logics etc.

is life about having good discipline? is life about being smart in task completion? and...should i quit college and spending my whole life being unnoticed by people?

Answer 1

Answer 2

I take it you define stupidity by the things you have enlisted above.. and since you are asking why is it sad to be that way, just think of all the things you could not achieve because of these things? Thesee are the reasons why its sad...

Answer 3

Life is about you coping in a world where you can't be left behind. I know what you mean, I'm like that too at times. You're just starting to grow up and you're feeling like you're different in a bad way. Don't worry, just be yourself and just think that you are better than you think you are. Don't think that much and act, I just started to work and I'm always on time. Before when I was back in school, I was always late for my classes. It'll pass.

Answer 4

Everyone has different standards when it comes to stupid and smart. Your definitely not stupid. Who cares what other people think. People change their minds all the time so why should you care what people think.

Answer 5

Stop being the "Victim"!   What in the world makes you think you are 'stupid'?  You typed all this, did you not?  You are NOT stupid!

You have just as much intellect as you are supposed to have.  Quit comparing yourself to others!  You have just as much right to be here as anyone.  If you weren't supposed to be here, you would not 'be'.

It does not matter what others think of you!  They think of you, what you think of yourself! Change your self-image!

Know that you are loved,very much, you are supposed to have what you have, all that you have.  That you have a very special purpose in this life, and you will learn of it in time.

Start looking at all the good things you have in yourself, in your life,

in the mirror.  Start taking all these positive things that you do have and expound on them, so they become the biggest part of your life!

Be creative, innovative, use your imagination!  You can do this!

Get out of that hole that you're in and make something of your life!

Answer 6

The wisdom of the ages are around us for the taking. I recomend reading Rodan a Greek philosopher;

P.1777 - §2 The effort toward maturity necessitates work, and work requires energy. Whence the power to accomplish all this? The physical things can be taken for granted, but the Master has well said, "Man cannot live by bread alone." Granted the possession of a normal body and reasonably good health, we must next look for those lures which will act as a stimulus to call forth man's slumbering spiritual forces. Jesus has taught us that God lives in man; then how can we induce man to release these soul-bound powers of divinity and infinity? How shall we induce men to let go of God that he may spring forth to the refreshment of our own souls while in transit outward and then to serve the purpose of enlightening, uplifting, and blessing countless other souls? How best can I awaken these latent powers for good which lie dormant in your souls? One thing I am sure of: Emotional excitement is not the ideal spiritual stimulus. Excitement does not augment energy; it rather exhausts the powers of both mind and body. Whence then comes the energy to do these great things? Look to your Master. Even now he is out in the hills taking in power while we are here giving out energy. The secret of all this problem is wrapped up in spiritual communion, in worship. From the human standpoint it is a question of combined meditation and relaxation. Meditation makes the contact of mind with spirit; relaxation determines the capacity for spiritual receptivity. And this interchange of strength for weakness, courage for fear, the will of God for the mind of self, constitutes worship. At least, that is the way the philosopher views it.

Join the Military. They can get you straightened out. You haven't said if you're taking any type of Drugs for depression, so you're just a little confused. Stay in College, make sure you socialize. Pay attention to people, see how they react in different situations. By being self demeaning, you'll wind up alone and wondering why life passed you by.
