Do you ever feel dumb?

[Yert3]

I'm just having one of those days. What's everyone up to?

 

[Tommye1078]

I know my wife does.

Never. I am the most intelligent human being you will ever meet. You would be amazed to be in my presence because of my overwhelming intelligence. It's an honor.

Kidding aside, last week I was having a really rough time with my asthma, and I was having trouble with my brain. Typing was especially difficult. I'm not dyslexic, but on asthma brain, I might as well be.

Maybe...
What does "dumb" mean?

 

[PUSH]

I can be intelligent when I want to. Most of the times I prefer to not think. Don't want to make others feel stupid.

All the time.

You missed my posts about my head cold about 2 weeks ago! I was so stuffed up I couldn't even spell my own name! My darling little angels got away with bloody murder the whole ti me because when they would ask me something my only response was yeah whatever! Brain fog to the max! So what ever you're going through it will pass!

I consider myself pretty intelligent. I don't like feeling dumb so if there's a topic I don't feel informed enough on I compulsively study up. I don't like feeling out of the loop on much.

Except sports. I know absolutely nothing about sports.

I'm pretty good at giving people advice or explaining subjects but when it comes to my own life I'm kind of bad at making decisions or getting things started.

I had one of those days yesterday because I had gotten only a few hours of sleep. I have little dumb moments a couple of times a day.

Not me - it's the rest of the world.

 

[LuLaSue]

Yes, more often then I care to share...

Thanks. I have a habit of saying things and going off on rants without thinking and they often come around and bite me.

There is so much to know. You could live ten lifetimes, studying the whole time, and barely make a dent.

I don't feel badly about "feeling dumb." It's a good thing.

If you knew everything there was to know, life would get awfully boring!

Back to my head cold story, my ds claims I promised he could do all of Agent P's Adventures and close the Mk every single night we are there in that park! I don't just feel dumb! Going to need lots of libations this trip! LOl

I always feel that way when the time changes. Takes me two weeks to make any sense!

You guys are the greatest. But I'm still really embarrassed about how ignorant I was and how big of a jerk I was the other day.

You are probably being harder on yourself than anyone else would ever be. We tend to be our own worst critic. Be kind to yourself!

@LuLaSue is quite correct you should never be so hard on yourself we all get brain fog from time to time!

You've been so kind to me ever since I joined this website. Thanks!
