I remember being called “retarded” and “stupid” throughout my childhood, so much in fact that I started to believe it, and that really demotivated me to the point where I felt like I never was good enough.

[@thomas1rye]

I don't think I'm stupid mentally. I just feel like I can't articulate my thoughts, ideas, or emotions properly. I found that when I write things, it sounds like I'm a thoughtful and a well knowledgeable person, but when I try to explain it or just talk, I feel weird. It's like a disconnect with everyone. People ask me about things and why I think that way. when I'm asked questions, I can't speak clearly because of the pressure of interactions. It's a weird feeling when I see everyone looking blank because they couldn't understand what I just said. It's an issue that just feels strange to me, and it makes me wonder why I should put effort into the things I say if no one notices or understands.

[@luciazhang4925]

man i relate to this so much! Whenever there's a debate taking place at school I'll stress out so much! (unless a period of preparation time is given so i can write everything down for myself so just recite from the paper) My body temperature will increase by 10, and my mind will become into a liquified, hot soup of neurons! So i can't do anything but seat at the corner and wait until the nightmare is over. people=pressure. However I love writing (ugh lets not talk about the writer's block though) when I'm alone by myself sometimes i surprise myself from the concepts i've written, whether it being an essay or a story. It's just like my brain is independent from my control. e.g. the other day i wrote a 1k word essay about human perception vs reality, using some source's ideas + my own insights! that was...intriguing

I'm really academically smart, and intrapersonally smart, but on the flip side, I'm not very socially smart. I try to think before I speak, and keep track of what I've previously talked about, but I always end up in the same spot. Usually I'll lean towards touchy topics accidentally, and not know when to shut up, blurt something out, or just stand there awkwardly because I don't know what to do, say hi fifty times in a conversation or mention how I'll say hi fifty times in a conversation, constantly feel the need to explain myself, and most of all, completely forget everything we've talked about. It is my biggest insecurity, and I'm pretty sure it makes a lot of people view me as weird. I'm just glad that my best friend sees past this and that when he says I am weird, he says it in a good context. Anyways, sorry for the long comment, but I just really understand what you're feeling.

[@ppmontegue]

Jimmy Kit-Kat I wish I could sympathize but I’m the exact opposite and it’s hell. I do generally well with school work but when it’s test time my brain shuts off and I basically have a tiny anxiety attack, I end up contradicting every answer I put and I end up failing. I do try to study but I end up procrastinating and not doing it which is most likely my downfall. I am a freshman in high school and I know that freshman year grades are the first ones colleges look at... and that really gives me anxiety. And I know I’m probably overthinking it and it isn’t like I can’t turn my grades around next year but I just need to hear some advice

[@jimmykit-kat3424]

Hey @@ppmontegue , I'm also in my freshman year and I've had my fair share of procrastination. All I can say is, it's better to cram for a test or start an essay fifteen minutes before it's due than to be completely and utterly unprepared. On tests, just go with your gut and trust in yourself. When I have trouble in social situations, I'm immediately reminded that life isn't like a test, it's not something you can study for, so that's exactly what I do; go with my gut and trust in myself. Another thing is that like how most people aren't just introverted or extroverted, most people aren't just good at maths or the arts. So, like any formalism-loving artist, I guess we just all have to build off what skills we already have. I love science, and when I talk about it with somebody who shares that interest, everything becomes a lot easier. Good luck.

Jimmy Kit-Kat thank you

[@jimmykit-kat3424]

@Death Son Get rid of that idea of trying to be normal, nobody's normal, and in that way I guess we all automatically are. Anyways, it's never too late to try. Even though it may be hard, that's all that we really can do, and that you posted this comment shows that deep down you're willing to do just that. If you've decided that you're done with being a, 'topnotcher,' that's fine, redefine yourself by new standards, and give yourself room to try new things. You don't have to be a topnotcher nor "some other average person leading a normal life," that's not what I personally think life is about. But point is you've changed, change is inevitable, but it doesn't have to be bad. So like I said, give yourself room to explore. P.S. Although I have no experience with depression, I want you to know that you're *not* alone, and you never will be.

The senctence "I don't have any learning disabilitied, but my lack of knowledge as an adult hurts my confidence greatly." is exactly what I feel too! In addition to the lack of knowledge I miss understanding or getting the context too. Like I don't understand the topics immediatly or when I studied for some time (or hours) and I can't conntect them to other related topics and this makes me feel like an idiot! All my classmates understand the subject and I'm the only one who has to think about it, try to understand it and when it doesn't work just memorize. Then I hear the same issue in another class (cause they are related) but I can't remember what I memorized bc I didn't understand in first place. It really sucks, I feel like I have achieved nothing :( Btw I got my Bachelor degrees, but I feel the same way. So I don't necessarily think that it has to do with the academic level...

Hi Aaron - I got my PhD in cognitive neuroscience a couple of years ago and I haven't read a book since high school. Textbooks, journal articles, etc. are just a part of my career, but outside of that "leisurely" reading isn't attractive to a surprisingly large amount of people who you think are intelligent. If you are going to read, then read with a purpose. You chose first-person learning ("doing") and that's great!

Please like this so he sees it. I just finished a degree in writing. I just want to say that it is perfectly okay that you don't read. I want you to know that reading, writing, and spelling do not determine whether or not you are intelligent. In fact, many people struggle to communicate effectively in writing (and in emails). It isn't just average people that struggle with this. Even people at my mom's aerospace workplace (engineers, physicists, etc.) really struggle with it and need the help of writers to actually communicate what they know. Struggling to spell, or to write a long email, are way more common problems than you think--and it's okay. I could read, write, and edit circles around all of my friends, but I struggle with math and numbers. But the great thing is, people can come together and be a million times more effective and successful by playing to each other's strengths. You aren't stupid because you don't like to read, or because you struggle with spelling, or because emails intimidate you. I just felt like typing you that long comment because I know how you feel. My entire life I've been judged for being terrible at math. But now that I'm older, I see that the people that are great at math sometimes need my help to communicate what they want to in writing. Play to your strengths. Your weaknesses do not define your level of intelligence.

[@informationmotivation9490]

Sammi Jayy And what about those who cant communicate properly like those people who are always nervous and confused. So they stammer and stutter very much. They can't give any performance in public, any speech or any interview . They can't attend meeting. They have to stay silent all the time.

I haven’t been diagnosed, but I think I’ve have adhd. As a child I was in the ‘special needs class’ But as I grew into an adult I was never identified as having a disability. However I know I still have issues by how I’m treated by other people. I forget things easily, have difficultly focusing or listening to instructions. I space out and daydream a lot and forget what’s going on in the moment. If I’m anxious and worried about people thinking I’m stupid then it just amplifies it and makes it even worse. Many people I’ve worked with or have been friends with me throughout my life have indirectly given me the impression that I’m slow and stupid, or even immature. I have a difficult time socializing and making friends because of it. In summary, it really sucks, because I know who I am and I know I’m not the person people think I am.

I was an above average student at first but my brain was closed down for 2 years, i didn't study at all, now i feel like my thinking process has worsened. And one thing which happens most of the time now is that even when i can hear clearly what the other person is saying, my brain cannot interpret the message, and so i cannot understand what they are saying. I don't know why this is happening and it reduces my confidence a lot. I feel like i don't wanna have conversations with others because my brain cannot interpret those messages clearly. And so i feel like isolating myself even when i wanna talk with others. And i forgot to mention that my screen time was very high for the last 2 years, more than 8-10 hours.

Well, I was special education student throughout the majority of my high school tenure. Always thought of myself as stupid and was told I was stupid. Joined the military, got my ass whipped a lot by my cadre, but I became an infantry soldier, combat medic, flight medic, and went to airborne school. Overall, it taught me to discipline my body which directly correlated to the mind (something I was always missing). One day while at Barnes & Nobles I picked up a book on quantum mechanics by Shankar and saw all these complicated equations. Didn't know it at the time but it consisted of partial differential equations, complex variables, triple integration, group theory (abstract algebra), and lots of other advanced mathematics. I told myself that I could never learn what any of this meant but if I could just learn an inkling of what any of these equations meant it would be an accomplishment. Wanted to learn physics but I settled for biology and pursued a degree in molecular biology/biochemistry. Finally, I was smart. Nope. Short changed myself because I wanted to learn one of the hardest subjects known to man: quantum theory. Got a 2nd degree in chemical physics. Still wasn't enough and pursued a masters in theoretical chemistry and then a Ph.D in chemical physics. Graduated 3 years ago. Do I feel any smarter? To be honest, no, because my education has made me realize how little I do know. Ironically, I don't really care anymore if I am smart or considered to be smart by anyone else. I've proved to myself that hard work and discipline go a long way. Along the way, I learned an important listen: learning is not something you do and then it's finished, it's a life long journey of self discovery that changes your perception on life. I teach quantum mechanics now, and I'm deeply humbled. P.S., I don't read books either unless you count textbooks.

Went to 11Bravo school in Fort Benning, 91Bravo (combat medic and my flight medic identifier) at Fort Sam Houston, Fort Rucker for more flight medic training, and Fort Leonard Ward. The word "cadre" is loosely used within the Army. It was used a lot at Fort Leonard Ward. Just like the word rifle is loosely interchanged for weapon for some reason was utilized a lot there as well. Once I transitioned to part time, to attend college, via the Army National Guard was when I went to jump school (please, don't tell me that the Army National Guard doesn't go to jump school because it's dependent on the unit) to a MEDEVAC unit. Other than that, Speedy McGee I really don't care whether you think it's bullshit or not. However, it's highly suspect that you have never head the term cadre in the Army if you yourself are were in the military but hey it's KZbin.

[@littlescott3349]

News flash speedy 91B was the 68W identifier in the 90's. AIT sergeants are called cadre as well as ranger instructors and many other Army schools use the word cadre. Erwin's story sounds like it makes sense. I know a lot of flight medics who have been to jump school. If you know anything about the 82nd they are all encouraged to attend airborne school. Thank you Erwin for your service to our nation! It's a shame people try and discount veterans service because they think they know something. And to alpha M thank you for your story I recently was called up in front of my company by my first sergeant to read about a Medal of Honor recipient.

For my entire life I have felt super dumb in school. It is something that I deal with every day and it sucks seeing all of these other kids my age learning with ease when honestly I never really get it. For example in math if we are learning a new subject, most kids know how to do it that same day, but it takes me way longer and even if I do learn it well I still will forget it in a couple of weeks. But what really sucks is seeing everyone around you succeed and bragging about how easy a test was when you tried the hardest you could, which is harder the any of them have ever worked in their entire life and still fail. It just leaves me to wonder why did god make me so dumb, because I would do anything just to be average.

[@varshabhandari5673]

It's Soo good to have you . Usually on the internet you find people at two extreme ends- those who are either dark and depressed or people who have overcome their problems and now want to share their journey. It's so amazing to have someone in the middle who's struggling with things just like you are and tell you it's okay to be vulnerable. That made me teary too :) ( I feel stupid because I have no sense of direction)

[@thewhitekhouse5788]

You're a great person Aaron thanks 4 all....

[@phatz2494]

Hey Aaron, just wanted to tell you my opinion about this: Which stupid man could possibly run 7 businesses? Have a whole bunch of people being inspired by him every single day? And the most important, reaching this level of success in his life starting from nothing? Come on Aaron, we both know that self doubt is a scam worse than the pyramid scheme, so don't think about it again..

Self-study (reading) is the most satisfying of all learning....

[@Skerriie]

I’m a senior in Highschool who’s only ever taken AP, Onramps and honor classes. I often compare myself to others, I feel so stupid compared to everyone else. I struggle with social anxiety and depression so it makes life a lot harder. Im the type to never ask for help so I often study and complete my work at home, just because I learn better when in a comfortable environment. I take so many notes and memorize everything, it takes me a while to comprehend things. While everyone else understands pretty quickly and it just makes me feel dumb. I struggle a lot with dissociation so I get lost during lessons, and I have to learn on my own because anxiety won’t let me ask for help.

I NEEDED this video, thank you so so much. Despite not being a good speller either and multiple teachers picking up that I may be dyslexic (despite never getting any formal test), I still push myself to read now and then. I have never had a video relate to me as much as this one, I also do beat myself up about thinking I'm stupid and perhaps overlooking some of the other things I can do well, (mostly because of how it seems everyone can easily read and spell where I take a little while longer). If I come across a word I haven't seen before there's a good chance I'll pronounce it wrong many times over until it finally sticks, where friends would often get the word right instantly. It isn't a good feeling walking into an exam knowing I'm likely to lose most of my SPaG marks (spelling, punctuation and grammar). This video is amazing and I wish I could've only seen it sooner. I'm sure what we lack in some areas we shine in others and like (I believe) you said, that makes us who we are Again thank you.

@@grantgibbon9618 I would argue God wants humans by his side in the end. At least that’s the message I receive from book of Job. Troubles and woes make man while abandonment and repentance make faith. Jesus walks with us when it is time to do so however he will also let us stray when we are our most human. God will humble everyone and everyone will believe they are justified. People that resist temptation and return to the father will be with God. Talking is easy, actions are hard. God sees all and expects our submission and effort before leadership

[@bryaneagon3059]

You have humility. It is apparent that you were humiliated. That is not a bad thing. Humility is not much more than admission of the possibility that you may be wrong about something. Humility tends to be obvious to others when you humble yourself. Especially as you have just demonstrated publicly. Bravo, my friend.

Listen to me Alpha, i love to read i have been the kind of person that looks down on people who do not read, because of that i totally get your message, i understand. However, i have been subscribed to your channel for a long time, truth is this work that you are doing and the impact its having is not that of a stupid person, there are NO WORDS in any book to describe it, please believe me when i say this, by spreading this kind of wisdom that funny enough, its not found in books, you are contributing to so many people´s lives in such way that probably 90 % of readers wont ever do. I understand your feeling, it is your insecurity just as other people have their own, but believe me people would think you are stupid way more if you pretended to be well read when you are not, what you are doing shows courage beyond words, i hope you read this some day and feel better, i have learned so much from your channel please keep up the good work.

Thank you for being truthful I have the same problem I really don’t like reading unless it’s a magazine and most likely it’s because I’m looking for a how to do. That’s like me and my whole family brags they just love to read. But me I like hands on experience doing things on my own. I feel like people look down at people who don’t like to read so I never say that in a room full of people lol Today because of a circumstance I was feeling stupid so this video helped me feel better there’s somebody else like me out there

i feel so dumb cause i don't know basic stuff. i go to online school and i don't have friends... literally nobody taught me anything. ig my parents just somehow expect me to learn everything myself as i grow up. i'm 15 now and everybody i know (cousins and stuff) who are my age, know everything. they know politics and basic word meaning and places and stuff. i was isolated to much that i don't know my relatives names or how i'm related to them even if i've been having family parties with them like 20 times a year since i was born, i don't know anything about my culture... i forgot everything i've learned at school about our history and stuff, i don't know our language... ppl have been making fun of me for speaking it so i never continued to learn... and now... everybody speaks it except me, i don't know anything happening in our country... any trends or celebrities i don't even know, i don't know anything. and i want to know stuff... but i don't know what i need to know. i didn't even know what "citizenship" meant😭 it's not like you use that word a lot in a conversation... how was i suppose to know what it was😭😭

[@ericbest7508]

I don’t like to read either. I feel like if I get a really good and interesting book then I might be able to get through the entire thing.

[@Gabriel-ip6me]

Dude, I like to read, but I would say that in the end of the day what matters is the knowledge you acquire, not how you acquire it. Also the quality of the knowledge you acquire is important; a lot of what you know is useful and practical, meanwhile a lot of people read 1000 books in their lives and they either learn a load of useless stuff or they fill their heads with bullshit that makes them more stupid than when they started, like the Communist Manifesto.

[@mv1991]

I've found that most people who read all day learn nothing but useless quotes from their favorite texts. I used to be like that, but, as Aaron said, I realized that I prefer to learn things by doing and watching.

[@Gabriel-ip6me]

OF COURSE That's true to a degree, but since there's something such as being objectively wrong, there are books that have no intellectual value. For instance, if you want to learn about chemistry, you learn absolutely nothing by reading an alchemical tome. In fact, you would be better off not reading anything than reading an alchemical tome, because it's better to be completely ignorant than completely misinformed. Now, the book I mentioned is not an economics books or a politics book. It is a religious book disguised as a political economics book, and if you read it to learn politics or economics you would be better off not reading anything at all because it is about as wrong and obsolete as alchemy is.

I have a university degree and I always read the papers regarding my studies, but outside of that, I wasn't enjoying reading all that much. It's not about the way you consume stuff, it's about the content you consume. You can read alot and still don't be educated, because you are reading stuff without clever thoughts behind it. No one gets clever by reading fifty shades of grey (except that maybe your spelling improves). I'm the guy that rather watches a tutorial on youtube or some scientific videos. That's my prefered way of getting smarter/more educated. You can also listen to an audio book instead of reading a book. Same content, different medium. Doesn't matter which one you choose.
