How easy is it for you to pull facts and figures out of your memory at a moment's notice? Can you understand complex reasoning? Do you use big words? I am coming to believe I am quite stupid. I can construct a sentence but I can't memorize anything for crap, can never bring up knowledge when I need it, can't win an argument...its as if all the different areas of my brain are quite smart on their own but can't work in unison. A lot of it is to do with food intolerances...certain foods make me crazy and when I go on a bland diet for an extended period of time I can think as clear as day and challenge people that I consider intelligent, but if I want a semi-normal diet I have to sacrifice my head. Does anyone else struggle from stupidity issues?
Buddy, you don't want to ask how stupid I am. I reached for my toothbrush near my mouth and it wasn't near.
Being stupid is one thing. But I strive to be both stupid and arrogant. If you notice, there is no way someone who's both stupid and arrogant can be beat in an argument.
being hypothyroid sucks. it really messes with your memory sometimes. i've had days when i couldn't remember my own name. :tongue:
I have a lot of trouble with consistency. I consider myself to be fairly intelligent, my IQ tests and psychological evaluations have shown that my brain functions at a higher level than most people, but simple memory recall and easy tasks are hard to hone and retain. I have ADD so it's hard to be consistent in my learning.
right now, i'm pretty damn stupid. i can recall things i just read over the past week that i have lots of interest in. outside of that, everything is fuzzy. i get stumped making up sentences, spelling words. anything outside of my schedule is hard to recall. this is fixed when i take my EC stack
I have a hell of a memory for people and places...for conversations that have occurred. That sort of thing. I cannot always pull facts out of my head right away. For me, it depends on how often I have researched or come across the information. I am a fast learner but if I don't use it, I lose it. Sounds to me like you need to eat a healthy diet. Food is so important. Who cares if it is bland,if it helps you think clearer? That seems to be a matter of choice there buddy.
i'm very smart in most ways. but there's a few areas that i'm retarded in and they make me seem much stupider overall than i really am. also i smoke more pot than i should, so i am probably stupider all around than i used to be...
