What do I do if I know I'll never attain the status of genius in my life? Is suicide the only respectable option for a brainlet?

I think that if youre at least one standard deviation above the norm, IQ wise, youre alright for the most part. So you dont really need to be a “genius”.

Btw, if your IQ matters to you, you are automatically a brainlet. I dont care what the number is.

How can I be content with my life when I am too stupid to do the only things I'm interested in?

Highly doubt it. Probably just lazy.

>>10378612
It either takes me days, weeks or sometimes a month extra to complete basic math psets or I am flat out unable to do them on my own. I don't do much else (excluding hygiene, eating and sleep though those are often neglected to varying extents) aside from coming on this cesspool for an hour or two a day to shitpost. If I were to somehow get accepted into an undergrad program, I'd go broke failing classes over and over again or be expelled.

Anon, I doubt that geniuses knew they could become geniuses at first which explains why most of them were child prodigies. IQ is just a way of measuring how well you process and grasp at information which can definitely be improved. Work very hard but work smart too. Don't just study things in your field and even if you don't attain genius level in your main field, you may still make a significant contribution.

I doubt that's the only problem. I barely made it through American middle school and unironically had to drop out of American high school due to being too slow.

I see. I recommend you get new interests.

Suicide is a good interest. Hopefully I'm not too stupid for that as well.

I feel you OP, for i too am one .
Take too long to understand/do a math&physics test. Yet addicted to keep doing textbook question, becuz everytiem when once solved ( particulary maths) its like orgasms.
