Go back to the basics, learn how to use your brain more effectively, and rebuild your overall cognitive structures and mental habits.

I'd been doing this most of my life, but it peaked when I was 17-20. I ultimately went too far and ended up so psychologically broken and deconstructed I was barely functional a lot of the time. Though there was a lot going on and much of this was based in long term trauma.

Likely one of the things that constitutes a good deal of my advantages. If you can't find a viable entry point, start with some philosophy. Epistemology and ontology mostly. eg Descartes' stuff, and his attempts to reconcile that all truth is relative, knowledge is a framework of these relative truths, and that all frameworks are reliant on one core self referential axiom, the mind and the senses. They cannot be reduced further without using themselves as proof, therefore, all knowledge is ultimately circular. It's one thing to read it and think "yeah that makes sense", and another to actually understand it in a deep and integrated sense.

>>8414409

Do not hold yourself in such a way that you feel like a brainlet as compared with anyone else, anon. For every person who has graced our earth and found passion within a scholarly community, there was, and always will be a smarter individual in that same category. Intelligence is besides the point, anon. The true frailty of the human mind is the willful disregard for academia; this which most of society exhibits. They would prefer to dedicate their life to becoming artists, sportsmen, florists, models, call-center workers, or something which does not demand highly of their intuition and mental capacity. Wasting their time enjoying the research and labor of others without caring much how it came into existence in the first place: smartphones, city infrastructure, life-saving medicine, etc. No matter what level of cerebral thought you are capable of, it is your dedication to a scholarly pursuit - hacking away everyday at your craft - that will earn you a seat at the elder mage's round-table of academia.

>>8414464
Of course it "impacts" mental development, but it isn't the sole causative element behind your feeling of being a "brainlet". Rather they're part of a greater complex, and maybe you ought to think a bit harder about that.

Life has no restarts, but at least you can move apart from the more tangible parts of your hell. I can't, and I still got on fine and I'm not whining like a little bitch saying my childhood made me a moron. Grow the fuck up, or go curl up in a ball in the corner, which is where it sounds like you still belong. Little boy still feel trapped in the world, all the things "they" did.

>>8414491
And tell me why is that you can't move from your hell?

And fuck you, I earn my fucking living, I earnt this laptop, I earn my rent and pay my internet bills, I am not siting in the corner nowhere I just am just speaking truth after all the year of being lied to. First things that went right in my life was because I was fed up with the narrative that you asshole is presenting. Of never questioning, never blaming people that wronged me. That I was always at fault and I was always to blame. You know nothing and it's disgusting to read the bullshit that you belive.

>And tell me why is that you can't move from your hell?
Developed trigeminal type 2 when I was 12. I'm allergic to most food. My digestive system is fucked up and likes to pump my brain full of ammonia, and I now realize it's been this way for most of my life. It's been very difficult to unlearn the maladaptive tendencies I came to, and a core part of seeing the bigger picture is not just to blame, but to understand.

I have a streak of misanthropy, and it sounds corny even to me, but it's true. After you learn to blame, or hate, you must learn to understand. Else you're only another confused, angry person left in limbo and perpetual slavery to your environment, yourself, and your history.

Also, I've never truly felt loved, have been more or less alone my entire life, and every problem I've ever had I dragged my way out on my own. I got further than a broken person like me ever expected to. And I'm sorry to tell you anon, woven into your every statement I just can't help but see someone who's still trapped.

Let me remind you that this whole conversation started with you being unrespectful and rude. You are the one so self-righetous that he feels the need to correct someone (even though, later you admitted that childhood abuse could impact intelectual development). I am trapped and I will propably be my whole life. Because of all the lies I went through many medications in my life, many of which must've damaged my brain. Medication that only recently I had power to give up. And tell me, why is it that, the brain damage is any less severe and "escapable" than nerve and liver damage?

I find it hard to describe how much I want to punch you in the face. Just because I hear this words hundreds time already, when I tried to untie the knot of my life. Everyone just pounded on me and it was very recently that I found strenght and reason to free my self from blindfolds and shackles and if not for the dicks like you, it could've happen sooner. People like you and your rhetoric is the thing that "trapped" me. And for your information, I understand everything and reasons why things happened to me, and it doesn't absolve any of it, nor it does "make it better".

For what it's worth, your personality type is one that doesn't generate violent urges, for me. I feel like emotionally bludgeoning you to spur an overcorrection response, but not any need to force connection via violence. I don't feel any desire to pound your head in until it starts working right, or stops working at all.

I probably have some degree of brain damage too though. Not that I really care. I've already said as much as I really care to say. I'd like you to elaborate on this however:

That's not what I'm implying at all, anon. Art is is much like science in that it's a novel phenomena - which absolutely requires intuitive, higher-degree, thinking in order to create impact. There has always been a strong correlation between artistry and intellect. I myself would not want to live in a world suppressed of music, fine painting, cinema, etc. The point I was making is totally departed from what you insist I am inferring, and yes: it would be to the complete detriment of the person to neglect the significance of artistry.

I am studying odontology, I am very good with my hands so I enjoy little things like calligraphy, crafts, masturbation, sculpting with dental wax, etc. but I always end up going overly mathematical and scientific on everything.
I enjoy math, even if I am not so good at it (Better than the average person, but I will get BTFO if I were to post here often)
Fucking love chemistry, can't wait to have some free time to read the chem text books I downloaded from murdercube.
Engineering (Even if I need autocorrect to write that) and physics came so natural for me, but I know that I can't do much since my math is so shit.

But maybe it is because I am interested in way too many things, I was learning software yesterday and today I am finishing with the phonetics to later learn a bit of linguistics for a conlang I am making out of complete "Sounds like fun". I expect the interest to last a week, God knows what I will do next

>>8414667
>I'd like you to elaborate on this however:
>People like you and your rhetoric is the thing that "trapped" me.

If you want. My "pain/cross/tragedy" is one of deceit/confusion/loss. Always felt something was very much wrong but couldn't put my finger on it. My parents were narcissistic, egocentric, borderline psychotic. They modelled me into a perfect victim for their humours and perfect slave to do for them as they liked. I was always thing to them. As characteristic to such people they always presented themselves to strangers with the "charm and kindness" that as a child I found puzzling and strange. How could the people that to their own progeny was cruel, cold and hurtful was so sweet, warm and "open" to the stranger they just met? (It was just one facet of their devious acts but it is important in answering to your question)

You see, even despite the brainwashing they tried on me I felt that something was very much wrong. And so I tried to seek help, as clumsly and weakly as morbidly shy and socially inept little kid would do. I tried school psychology, I tried my teachers, peers and while they seemed shocked of the truths I told them, when confronted with my parents they always took their side. You see, my progenitors were playing them like a fiddles. I was always treated in the way that I hear from you, and later in home was punished for trying to seek help. And to my great anger (nowadays) after couple of tries I just shut in completly and just rolled with punches (a curious case of learned helplessnes).

It was only years later when my aunt opened to me about my parents (a whole long story in itself). It meant a world to me. It meant that in fact I am not mad by wanting to end myself every day of my life, it was just response to the abuse.

I heard the "don't blame, grow, be better" sickening number of times. I just wish someone would take me from my parents. Anywhere would be better (I found it firshand).

>Advice
If you are inferior in ability to your competitors then there is no use on trying to upgrade that ability, you are only losing time into becoming an, at most, mediocre version of your competitors.
Find some way of playing that you are good at and then exploit that, do not mimic the people around you no matter how attractive that may look, not as romantic but in the end it will pay.

Like how the VietCong instead of trying to upgrade themselves into a weaker version of the americans they found a new way of making war and became the strongest in that, heck, they even won the war without winning a single battle. That's creativity, and with that you can be a brainlet but still find a million ways to use that thing on your head that will make you exceed at anything.

>tl;dr Stop playing with their rules and create your own

>>8414728
And now I am talking about history and leadership philosophy, fml, I need to concentrate in an area, not all of them

The worst is having the awareness of being stupid. You know that there are things you don't understand but there is nothing you can do about it. You have ambitions that you can't fulfil just because you lack the brain power. Sure with hard work you can get a decent life but only if you are happy being mediocre.

>I heard the "don't blame, grow, be better"
I never told you not to blame, I told you the exact opposite. That you're confusing the past for the present just continues to show what I've been saying all along. It's all about understand both the macro and the micro, the personal and the detached, as one simultaneous picture. It's unfortunate that this is often framed as "nihilism" (which = bad, apparently), as it's the only viable tool to continue in your life.

I never sought help, I just learned to manage. Which translates to maladaptation, selective psychological numbing, and learned helplessness. What I spent years unraveling was less what other people were, or had done, and more what I'd done to cope. Internally, the blame is all on me.

Anyway. One branch of my family has a long history of sexual and emotional abuse. The dynamics you mentioned are very familiar. I don't feel like bringing my mind back into any of it, so I can only provide something roughly resembling an apology. Some people benefit from having a bit of force applied, but I shouldn't have berated you.

>>8414851
It's very kind of you to offer "apology"/understanding. I would say that I tend to be extremly defensive (which manifest as an agression) and I probably didn't put enough effort to trying to understand what you were trying to communicate but after initial "bullshit" I was very badly predisposed to anything tha came later. I will try to aproach what you were saying when I cool down a bit I see some value in it now, but am still too much on offensive right now.

And maybe to shed additional light (if you would like to hear any of it) the whole "it's not my fault" gimmick is very much new and refreshing to me, for most of my life I used to blame myself and it led me nowhere. Also feeling pride of my acomplishments is also something new and thing that keeps me alive. (As much as I find it incorrect in the wider sense of things) if I was not self-sufficient I would probably end myself by now. The fact that I am at least able to carry my own weight and help some people in the process, means very much to me.

And though it's not completly sincere right now, have a good day.

Eat lots of cacao. Apply yourself to something you find interesting and meaningful. Stop cacao intake when you develop a crippling predisposition to anxiety.

You will find you have emerged in an improved form. Don't let the new habits fade, iterate on them.

Also, don't eat gutter trash excuses for "chocolate". Taza, Equal Exchange, or the raw nibs are among the best. In the case of the nibs you need to be careful of mold and aflatoxin. Don't boil them, but perhaps wash with cold water. They taste like yeast and alcohol otherwise, which stems from the fermentation and or roasting process. The reason you wash them is because some sources use fermentation piles out in the open, not dedicated facilities. Chocolate from Equador may also have higher cadmium levels, as it's grown in volcanic ash laden soil.

>>8415024
isn't cadmium a carcinogen? (its me, the physics brainlet).

>>8414418

I want you to know anon, that I was in your shoes two years ago. I too feel like a brainlet, and struggled through the math classes and other weed-out classes because through my younger years I thought I "don't need math, man". Anyway, I also wanted to make a positive difference in the world, and then, once I hit my 3rd year and took only electrical eng classes, my grades became better, because the coursework required more conceptual knowlegde than, for instance, calc, which in my experience was heavy memorization of obscure trig identities and those fucking x-pedal rose functions that nobody remembers or cares about because they have literally nothing to do with anything that you would need to know off the top of your head in engineering.

Digressing from that, you should try to do volunteer things with the department. When you're in a major most people get into to get a job, not a lot of people are into volunteer work. Then professors from the department notice you, and if you've made improvements, or tell them about your situtation, they do admire your resilience. Also, I know it sounds lame, but having a 'can-do' attitude helps. If you go to career fair events with your peers and observe them, they always tell employers what they have done, and when asked about doing something new, they choke, and go back to what they have done. I personally go for the "I have 'this' background, but in order to achieve that I can do 'x,y,z'". Same goes for talking to classmates and professors. I know it sounds like generic advice, I wish I could encourage you in person.

Don't give up, I know how it feels. I was on academic probation a few years ago but no fuckin way was I going to quit, now I'm getting my master's. I have faith in you!

The rare science thread is pretty fun, but the "what if my TA is hot but from India?" and "if I study drunk should I take the test drunk?" and "what's the best calc 201 textbook and where do I pirate it?" threads that take up the majority of the board are dumb as fuck.

>>8415082
Yep, among other things.

Also, cacao functions as a dissociative and very mild hallucinogen at higher doses, and also affords a sensation of superhuman strength. Sense of scale also changes. I just got back from wandering around in the woods, it's a full moon, and I'll tell ya... In a sense, cacao is a gateway to memory.

Regardless. As long as you don't chronically take in an unreasonable dose, the effect of its constituent parts on neurological function are well documented. That's the mechanical side. I'm talking equally in a temporal and more abstract psychological sense. Well worth it. Interest is infinite when you can experience everything as blanketed in interesting. The awareness and tools you develop via these states are not reliant on the state itself, and remain of considerable utility well after. Within reason.

>>8415145

A similar situation turned me into the exact opposite, zero social interaction made me just read absolutely everything I could, fiction or non-fiction

I've moved up the Dunning Kruger curve and realized how fucking average I am

No it didn't, you dumb /r9k/ poster

I'm top of my class but I honestly feel like a retard, I just learn what type of questions the professor likes and study them and get straight As, but I don't know how much I actually learn.

>I'd been doing this most of my life, but it peaked when I was 17-20. I ultimately went too far and ended up so psychologically broken and deconstructed I was barely functional a lot of the time. Though there was a lot going on and much of this was based in long term trauma.
Same. I like the way you put it, as well.

I'm in this position at the moment. My friends joke at me, so I've decided to just say fuck it and stay in my room to learn everything about mathematics.

Drop out, get an apprenticeship.

I have that big fish in a little pond to little fish in a big pond problem. In Community college, i was in the top 5% of my class. Now that Im in a good uni, im maybe in the top 40% of my engineering department. Im becoming more and more anxious about upper division courses, but i think i will survive, i have the stamina to take it to the end. I just feel stupid.

>>8414405
This happened to me too.

After ~3 years of extreme poverty and unresolved physical health issues I am 100% certain that I've lost a big chunk of my mental abilities.
Even my vision is disturbed. Can't afford to get an MRI. Fuck me.

All we do on this board is bully brainlets. Stop your masochism and go post with your own kind. On /lit/ and /his/.

This to some extent. As a result of my laziness and addiction to unstimulating habits, I am losing my ability to think logically, to reason, to decide - and stuff like my hand-eye-coordination, fine motor skills, and body coordination. Just doesn't feel right for it to all disappear in a span of a couple years.

Dumb frog poster

This is litterally shitposting/complaining "HURR DURRR MY PARENTS ABUSED ME WHY AM I NOT GOOD AT STUFF" thread. No one on /sci/ in their right mind considers themselves smart, because there's always people far above them. Also

side note: being small is easier on the cardiavascular system, so lower chance of hearth failure, which is nice
