    His replies in the rest of the thread are incredible too

    Entitled? I went to school for multiple aspects of design for five years before deciding the courses weren't challenging enough and dropping out. Yes I have debt now. yes I could use some financial support. No I am not perfect, but yes I am valued. Yes I have a brilliant potenital in my mind to do whatever I set out to. Will to power, and I have recently been looking at getting back into online video game design classes. So if I'm a dick, you're a douche. No I won't let you talk to me like that. I don't ever have to put up with disrespect. It's not your right to mock another man who is asking harmless questions, as that is how we obtain knowledge and always has been. Kindly fuck off.

    Are you implying there's a sort of...economy of respect?

    Do you know if there is a High-IQ MGTOW program or club here?

    SHUT THE FUCK UP I AM TIRED OF BEING HARASSED HERE. YOU R-----S. YOU FUCKING R-----S. I GET IT. I WAS STRESSED. I'M SERIOUSLY ON THE EDGE DUDE. DON'T FUCK AROUND.

      Isn't this a classic story for a lot of these dorks? Like the guy with the highest recorded IQ in the world hasn't been able to hold down a steady job for more than a little while cause he thinks that everything is beneath his superior intellect.

          I hit my peak in high school with that. From "gifted" classes in middle school (which were fun ngl) and reading the textbooks in the first week to just totally bombing when everything transitioned to hardcore memorization and no calculator math equations. after that the whole "smart" thing just felt like a stigma that destroyed my confidence forever

            I'm in a similar situation. My parents and teachers have always told me how smart I was and if I only put in a little bit of work I could easily be the best in class and it only led to me developing a huge ego while still getting garbage grades in the later years and now in uni.

            I'm 23 now and to be honest? I still have these borderline delusions that I am somehow the second coming of Einstein or shit like that and that because of that I don't need to study as much even though I'm close to straight up failing university.

            I'm fully aware of it but I still can't get it together. I don't want to blame my parents for it it's largely my fault but man, I don't know what to do anymore.

            Shoutout to my therapist effectively saying "have you tried making a list" xd

              I was 21 when I was going through what you are now (everything went off the rails for me at 23 but that's not really relevant to this). To this day I think I had ADD but was very anti-ADD treatment back then because I saw too many friends get "zombified" by Ritalin and thought it would just kill my spark or something.
              I hope I don't sound like I'm suggesting "making a list" lol. Is it just like motivation or boredom issues for you?

                I think I fried my brains by being online 24/7 and now I'm psychologically incapable of doing anything that takes any effort at all

                I'm trying to come off of it but it is difficult

                  yeah i'm kind of old so being online 24/7 wasn't an option then it was more like "online sessions". I will say these days it's done something similar to me expanding myself beyond this rut i'm in. you've recognized the problem though so I think you've taken a good first step to conquering it.

      I don’t ever have to put up with disrespect.

      If you're posting online and can't put up with disrespect - you're either online for the first time in your life, or this is a joke, or you have a debilitating deficiency in social skills.
