Is there a pattern with intelligent people to often think of themselves as unintelligent or not intelligent enough, or is being clearly aware of one's definite intelligence a pronounced trait of intelligent people?

>> No.3727275

It's called the Dunning Kreuger effect. This is always discussed here on /lit/...I feel like I'm being tested.

twaddle, tingling the hairs on my dickshaft, for the most part.
the thoughts of some door-knobbing retard are never weary with his own self-judgment--this covers about 40 percent of this board. the majority linger around somewhat above-retard levels, and here they are just smart enough to realize their crippling retardation. 55 percent come in at this point; their self-loadhing apparent in many threads.
the remaining 5 percent are us boisterous assholes who recognize our insurmountable intellectual prowess and have the brainpenis to fuck holes into spacetime; i am god's phallic consciousness, the tumescence of my vibrating brain resembles that of my huge cock and balls, ever stiffening as we speak

It's difficult to judge one's own capacities honestly, because even the most self self-deprecating individual will find it hard to utterly despise themselves, so invariably we use the people around us as a measure of ourselves.

I think if you want to be healthy, you need to find that fine line between trying to be genuinely and honestly self aware, and constant and overly critical personal scrutiny.

See your faults, and acknowledge them, try to rectify them if you see fit, or learn to live with them.

It's either that or you take a long walk off a short pier.

Being hated in that sort of villain way is still relatively easy though. The hard part is truly placing yourself in a sort of shitty position where you are not a force to be reckoned with but just dismissed as a horrible fool. Coping with being edgy is easy, but one time I was wearing these horrible torn layered rags and a jacket I found somewhere in the street and I had a braid of a woman's hair hanging from my belt with pigeon feathers in found in the park stuck in it wearing broken sunglasses sipping brandy at the train station in the morning singing 'people are strange' and this sort of puts you in a state where you transcend social relations and profoundly don't give a fuck.

As someone with an IQ of 140+, does well at school, does math for fun, I would guess I'm an intelligent person. People tend to tell me I'm smart after meeting me and talking for a bit.

As for your pattern, I often don't feel intelligent enough. Perhaps it's because I'm not good at being social, or think I'm not. There are probably lots of factors. Your question seems to be proposing a relationship between intelligence and self-esteem.

From my perspective, you can be intelligent and have low self-esteem.
