I feel like just the fact that I read a bit (especially well known books, classics, philosophy) others immediately think I'm intelligent but I'm actually a retard who struggled in school.Does anyone else feel like they're some kind of imposter, a trickster deceiving people into thinking you're smart, when any actual normal human interaction like doing math (ESPECIALLY if I have to calculate something quickly and with people watching) shows just how retarded I really am.I'm pretty good at avoiding situations such as this however. I can recite facts and ideas from the books I've read, plots too and this makes people think I'm intelligent. But I've actually had the opportunity to discuss philosophy with other people who also read a lot and I felt retarded. I couldn't even argue with them properly outside of formulaic responses I'd learned in books and other places which I never really understood anywaysI thought that learning foreign languages would make me seem intelligent too but it's really really difficult. Memorizing vocabulary is easy, but any of the more abstract grammar concepts just go over my head somehow
>>25221112No one cares, anon. Actually, people will resent you if you're actually intelligent.
Okay? You forgot to add "books for this feel" so you can at least pretend your blogpost is on topic.
