Sometimes it is hard to see brilliance, when you have been always treated otherwise.

also too true. I have had compliments but due to someone in my life with my old classmates from 2-8th grade- I have serious self doubt lol.

 

[Invader]

( I struggle with that more than I let on)

 

[Chase]

It's important you know these things too, because then you build compassion for people who may be labeled as different.

 

[Pitya Ivyr]

I struggle with it a lot- I just try to keep it hidden. ... sometimes it doesn't work so well - especially when brain is specifically dumb on occasions.

 

[Pitya Ivyr]

(that was the only way I could think to phrase it0

 

[Chase]

Instead of using the negative word 'dumb', I'm going to suggest you use something like 'not so smart' -- to begin with. Baby steps.

 

[Invader]

I prefer still learning.

 

[Chase]

Right, as long as the negative word gets replaced with something neutral or above.

 

[Pitya Ivyr]

Uuuhhhhhh - now that may be more difficult than anything else heh. Sorry - I can attempt buut um - hard to say how long it'll take. Sorry

 

[Pitya Ivyr]

i usually say I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer lol

Putting aside how much I like that turn of phrase, I don't think that's true of you.
