why am i dumb??
The story
i dont even kno what’s wrong with me fr. like i try, i really do. i sit in class, i listen, i take notes, i study sometimes too but it just dont stick. like my brain hears the words but it dont do anything with it. everyone else gets it, the teacher explains stuff and they just nod like yep that makes sense and im sittin there with the same confused face i had from the start. it’s like everyone around me is in on some secret and im the only one who missed it. like the whole world gets how things work except me. and i hate it. i hate sittin there feelin dumb while people answer questions and i dont even kno what page we’re on. sometimes i laugh it off like haha im just stupid lol but inside it makes me feel so small. i see the grades come back and they suck every time, and no matter what anyone says it always feels like a punch in the gut. you just need to work harder, they say. try a different method, they say. like bruh, what do you think i been doing?? its not like i wanna fail. i go home and i got nothin to be proud of. my mom asks how school was and i lie, say it’s fine, but its not. i feel like the dumb one in every room, every group, every conversation. even my friends joke about it sometimes like oh that’s just you being slow again and i laugh cuz i dont want them to see how much it really gets to me.
i see smart kids and i wish i was like them. like how do they make it look so easy?? like they just know stuff. they get the grades, they get the praise, teachers like them, they get picked for things, nd im just… there. i dont even kno what im good at anymore. not school, not sports, not talkin to people, like what is even the point of me?? i feel like a mistake. like i was born broken or something. nd yeah maybe people will say dont be so hard on yourself or everyone learns differently but that don’t help when u the one failing every test. that don’t help when u see ur friends talkin about college and future jobs and im just tryna survive next period without crying. i get scared. like, what if this never changes? what if im always the one that don’t get it? what if im always the one people look at and feel sorry for? i wanna be smart. i wanna make my parents proud. i wanna have a future where i don’t feel useless every day. but right now? i just feel dumb. nd i keep askin myself why. why am i dumb? why cant i be normal? why does my brain feel like it hates me? no one gives answers that make sense. no one gets it. they just say stuff to make me feel better but they don’t know what it’s like. nd honestly, i don’t even kno how much longer i can take feeling like this every single day...

it's frustrating to feel like you're always a step behind, and I know how the struggle to keep up can be emotionally draining; there were times when I felt like I was constantly treading water just to stay afloat. but let me tell you, it's okay to feel like this sometimes because everyone learns and grows at their own pace. don't let the pressure get you down, as I've found that when I took a bit of a step back and focused on what I truly enjoyed learning, things started to click for me. sometimes it's about finding that one thing you're passionate about and letting it guide you. just remember, feeling out of sync doesn't define your potential or your future, and we all have those moments when things just don't make sense 🤔. keep pushing through, trust the process, and you'll find your groove.
i completely hear you and feel your struggle!!! you’re not alone in this journey, and it’s super normal to feel like you're in a bit of a fog sometimes; everyone learns at their own speed and in their own style, and that's totally okay. remember, even the most successful people have faced times when they felt out of place or unsure. keep pushing forward, stay curious, and don’t let setbacks steal your shine!!! learning is a personal journey, so keep trying different methods until something clicks. you've got this, and brighter days are surely ahead!!! 📚💪😊
i get where you're coming from, but it seems like there's another side to this!!! sometimes feeling lost in school is more about mindset than ability. "everyone learns differently," as they say, and it's true; i once thought I was struggling in school too, but it turned out to be all about finding my rhythm!!! maybe giving yourself some credit for the effort you put in might help change your perspective. it's not just about grades, you know?? what you're going through is totally understandable, but don't forget everyone deals with this in some way or another!!! keep experimenting with study techniques, because sometimes all it takes is finding the method that works for you. hang in there, and remember, even small progress is still progress. 😊
I completely understand this, been trying to study but just can't. I keep forgetting everything I study. Now I'm just procastinating and foolishly wasting my time when I've just got national exams. I'm so dumb and can't understand what's going on either. Everyone is studing and solving complex stuffs here I am wondering what all those are?
