    being smart is overrated, and it actively makes anxiety worse because you can come up with pretty good rationalisations and then be anxious faster

      I mean, he didn’t say smarter, he said a better brain. I would also love a better brain, which to me would not mean an increase in intelligence. On paper, I’m allegedly well into the gifted territory of he IQ scale, but my developmental and learning disabilities, especially my poor executive functioning have led to me working fast food…

        ayyy twice exceptional high five, how are the unfinished projects going? it’s a strange life to be both allegedly gifted and also have a learning disability, your whole life you get told how much potential you have, but you can only reliably pull off being kinda average

        but i digress, yeah that’s a fair point. i guess i assumed when they said “better brain” they meant “better brain power”. i too would like a brain that can perhaps manage to do things when i want it to do things, instead of only doing things when they become emergencies

    Brain twice as powerful but so riddled with benzos that it functions at half capacity.
