Re: Reasons why I am an idiotface....

Woah! I know F11 makes webpages fullscreen, what do the other buttons do????
:confused:

I don't have any idea either. I use them to great effect in games as hotkeys. It becomes like playing an instrument with 12 keys.

Supposedly depression is linked to brain thinning!
Just food for thought (FOR YOUR BRAINS)

personally my memory is getting terrible, someone will tell me something and I'll forget it in a few seconds. Or I'll remind myself to do something later and I'll totally forget. It's aggravating, my mental faculties are deteriorating

Let´s see...

*My mind can get lost quite easily
*Everything goes blank in a conversation and can´t think of anything to say
*I have to make a conscious effort to do things others do naturally
*Things other people learn easily become hard to me
*I can get confused with the simplest instructions

I´d say I´m dumb, rather than just feeling like it...things go even worse when your brother is **** intelligent, yay for fairness in life :).

I dont think im dumb...im just a bit challenged in certin areas..namely things relating to tasks that are socialy based id say...for example I dont follow instructions well when Im nervous or stressed aka having a social phobic moment...someone could explain something to me & i hear them but theres no way it's sinking in.

When I was a kid I was quite smart for my age (not a prodigy, but above average).
Now I'm in my 20's the so-called prime of your life, I'm experiencing major "brain fog" can't concentrate, forget things just after I read them etc.
Some days I'm quite sagacious though, but I'm still frustrated and depressed.

- Past the 'hey' 'hi' 'how are you?' 'good good, yourself?' 'Alright.' I am utterly lost for words and we sit in silence until the person who started talking to me feels too awkward and has to leave.

- I never see what's funny in many jokes, I always find myself asking 'why is that funny?' 'what happened?' So I just laugh when others laugh. Consequently, not many people have the same humour as I do.

- I have such restricted manerisms that when I buy something from a shop and they start talking, whatever they say my first response will be 'good good' and then 'you too' with a few 'mmmms' and 'ohhhs' if they haven't said 'have a nice day yet'. I'm always stuck saying, 'you too' to a shop keeper saying 'goodbye' or 'we accept returns'. >.<

- I am always asking 'what' 'why' 'how' in group conversation because I can't seem to follow them.

- I always end up making strange comments that no one seems to understand except for me, things like 'No! You can't step there, you will fail science if you do.' or 'does see the with this problem I whats with it?'. Usually because my brains is either working on one track, completely blank or in overdrive.

- Another point about my brain, it's never working normally, it's either all my thoughts are working too fast or working far, far, far too slowly.

- I can't even understand simple area in mathematics, which means that with all formula I have to resort to rote memory skills, in tests when my mind blanks or panic ensues, what do I end up writing on the test when I'm meant to be finding the area of a circle? D; D; D;

- I write g instead of d and can't just talk in one tense, it's always mixing up.

- I can not reciprocate affection. I just forget to. How can you forget something like that!

- In the end I just look like an idiot. In a lot of ways, well I probably am.

I'm dumb because:

*I tend to change my mind too often

*I space out when I am inside class and afterwards I have no idea what's going on

*I have missed so many chances of bettering myself and making friends

*I stumble and trip

*I speak oddly

*I behave bitterly

*I don't even know what I am doing here still breathing, still taking up precious space.

*I still have no idea what career I want

*I'm slothful and hateful

*I get too close to people out of my league

*I'm going deaf after listening to too much music

*I sometimes send incoherent and confusing emails which never get answered

*I don't recheck what I write or say

*I procrastinate too much

*I'm still afraid of posting messages on this website for fear of sounding like an idiot.

*I am weak-minded

*I blame myself for having no talent or vocation

*My being born was quite a dumb mistake. Nature plays cruel jokes, I am proof of that.

I'm dumb because I'm too dependent and too avoidant.
I'm dumb because I have no talent in anything.
I'm dumb because I can't even swim
I'm dumb because I have a mathematics phobia.
I'm dumb because I'm a complete loser.

I have math phobia too! Almost made me drop out of post-grad classes.

I was ****ing pissed off until 1 day I just started from scratch. I "deleted" all of my superficial understanding of math and started from 2+2 and worked my way up to derivatives, each time actually visualizing (turning the abstract into concrete terms I could play around with my head), and now I'm doing so much better.

I think the children who are most prone to developing academic phobia are the ones who have a superficial method of study. (i.e. they believe 2+2 = 4 because that's how they memorize it, not because they actually believe it). This naturally causes them to be anxious during test-day because while they may know all the test material, they don't actually believe (i.e. properly visualize) the material. So as soon as they bump into an uncertain test question, they panic because they lack the visualization for critical thinking.
