Are you (or at least do you feel) dumb? Last year I got done with school and saw many of my friends going to top universities in my country. I got accepted to a pretty good and well-respected one too but I suck at math and wouldn't be able to survive 5 fucking years doing CS there so instead I went for a computer related AS degree on a pretty good (but inferior to the uni I got accepted to and the ones my peers went to) polytechnic college. Now another one of my two close friends is talking about going to one of the hardest degrees in the top uni over here and I do know that he is capable of that since I've seen him get placed first in many entrance tests before. I look at them and it makes me wonder why do I always end up surrounded by so many people way smarter than me. Fuck, they don't even need to study and yet they simply do things so easily. To make matters even worse they can move out if they need to study since they're poorer than me, while I wouldn't be able to do that since I'm not poor enough to get government money, my parents wouldn't pay shit for me and I'm too talentless to get an internship. Just fuck my life, man. This is so fucking confusing. It's bullshit. I'm tired.
>>84389291Feeling the same, except I'm surrounded either by idiots or honersGonna get a diploma soon but.. idk what lies right afterIt's a "position" everyone says, meanwhile I need a portfolio to actually land a decent job and some experienceI have so many ideas, put in great work and still feel dumb because I can't decide still dude
>>84389291My man, I have a pure math degree. I still feel dumb as rocks when compared to my peers. Comparison is the killer of joy and all that. You have a degree, so you're fine. Reality is that smarts is not that important, and you should stop entwining your self-worth to it. For example, I really dreamt of having a theorem with my name, very narcisssistic, but it's not going to happen. And I'm fine with that now.Even if we're smart enough for the big leagues, we might not have had a shot ever due to our circumstances. It's unfortunate, but not the end of the world.To end my rambling, just be merry and kind. No use being alone in the top. As long as there is food and drink on the table, you should carry on.
I finished a Masters but had no idea how to continue with it into a job.
>>84389376Personally I sometimes feel like I am smarter than average and living in a third world shithole might mean I'm right but still, I feel fucking retarded compared to those in my social circle, it's not even funny. >It's a "position" everyone says, meanwhile I need a portfolio to actually land a decent job and some experience>I have so many ideas, put in great work and still feel dumb because I can't decide still dudeUnfortunately, I don't really know how to help you with this... I mean, the institution I'm studying in right now focuses way more on practice (and therefore shit like portfolio and experience) than theory, so I guess I might've made a good decision in this regard. Just focus on what you like from what you've already done and make sure others see your progress, I guess. Sorry for the cliche-ass comment, but I don't really have much to add. Good luck.>>84389391Good that you were able to use your math expertise to something at least. I have a very easy time with anything linguistics and humanities related if I put at least the bare minimum effort but these types of interests won't get me any money and I need to be sociable to work with these things, something that I'm not (and that's why I went with the AS, like I said, I suck at math but at least I like computers but not computing exactly). >To end my rambling, just be merry and kind. No use being alone in the top. As long as there is food and drink on the table, you should carry on.Thank you for the advice, dude. I've been down lately but every once in a while I kind of just end up thinking this way. Guess it's the best I can do right now: try to stop comparing myself to others and enjoying what I have at the moment. Fuck, there's so many people who would want to be in my place, maybe I'm just being a bitch with all this complaining. To both of you guys: I'm sorry for the wall of text, kek.
>>84389391hey. i"m looking for a touhou flash video, with that exact art style, and I know nothing about touhou and can't find it againthe girl visits one character at a time, says random stupid shit, like her second line in the video is "don't eat and oranges, AND DON'T POOP ON THE FLOOR"any idea?
yes, i feel stupid. it took me a few years to get basic through like high school algebra in my degree in community college. i have a graphic design- i just wanted to learn adobe programs.i don't think i can do basic math in my head.
>>84389778Fuck, I can barely even do algebra, bro. I can easily do arithmetic in my head though, guess I'm just being lazy. Did you manage to land a job related to your degree?
I don't think I was born dumb but I grew dumb after getting addicted to internet and games. I had problems with math in middle school so I didn't went so well at high school and then my interests narrowed themselves to humanities only. I had some acquaintaces saying I had a good abstraction though, including my literature teacher. If only I could read books instead of wasting my times on JRPGs I could be like those intelligent humanities dudes... like my former literature teacher.
>>84389852Holy fuck dude, that's exactly how I feel. I'm somewhat good with humanities and linguistics as I've said previously but I used to be alright on pretty much everything... until I started spending more time online than studying, reading books or anything of the sort. People often tell me that I notice or realize things very quickly but I just can't really see it.
