This to be honest. Who /peaked/ here? I started feeling more and more dumber by the day around age 15, and since then I've probably forgotten most things and gotten worse with my senses. The most defining part (and the most difficult to explain, incidentally) of this was when some switch in my head turned off overnight, and I've had to force thinking since then, since instinctual behavior filled that spot. I've felt pretty intelligent back then and aced everything handed to me, but records show a decline in ability since around that age, and now I am a total idiot who does not know how anything works, which in turn makes me unsure if I ever was smart at all. As for the cause, it's probably the isolation and compulsive escapism through consumerism that brought this, as it seems to be the most prevalent one of the disenfranchised robots here, although I think there are other minor reasons to add too. This feel is very uncomfy, but then being a human is too.

You never left, the lens of life just changed. If you truly wanted those things in your life they'd be there. And if there lack is the reason for your suffering, you should pick them up again
