| I don't know why, but I feel like I'm not as smart as I used to be. In high school, I could easily score without studying much, I could debate everything, write anything from scratch without planning much like the ideas just come to mind, but now I feel like my mind is not sharp like it used to be, does anyone else feel like that? |
BallistikJuice said: In terms of interacting with people? yes, I feel much less intelligent compared to how I was like 3-5 years ago. But, I don't mind at all, too much interaction these days affects me negatively anyway, so...yeah. I wouldn't say about online, but my interaction with people irl has gotten better than before, so that's a plus point |
| I think i've gotten smarter then my younger self |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| I think every person feels like that once in their life. I also find it harder to remember stuff, I feel like I'm getting bad at explaining stuff, I feel less articulate than I used to be. I'm probably gonna stop stressing a lot, change my diet and sleep schedule, it might work |
| I hit my peak "smartness" (intelligence) at around 26 and since then it's all been downhill in terms of "dumbness" (general alcohol induced cerebral degeneration) |
 |
| Oh yea I definitely feel like I've dumbed down a lot. Before I could finish tests with loads of time to check over, now I get lucky if I manage to properly finish each question rip |

TheFireNinja said: Most of all, I think the lack of sleep I've been getting affects my ability to think properly. Plus, arguing with trolls and toxic people online can dull the brain over time. Yeah, I think lack of sleep is the reason. Also, arguing with people online over trivial things |

| Yep, sure do. But I think its the coffee. Maybe it's something in the water... |
| Most definitely. Been out of school for 7 years now. Mixed with substance abuse along the way has decreased my mental faculties significantly (lol). |

| Some of my old talents have been shelved but I have been able to channel my abilities in other ways. |
| It's more accurate to say I'm not functioning peak capacity. I know my intelligence went up over time but my ability to use it went down soon after. |

| Let me think of an answer that is short but fits the character limit...Yes. |
 |
| Yeah bc i got lazier over the years, maybe there are other reasons but i blame the laziness |
 |
| Nah, I've been a dumbass all my life long. |
 |
| I think I learnt a lot as I got older and I still have a lot to learn. I also feel like we felt smarter as high schoolers than we really were, we just don't tend to acknowledge that. |
 |
| No I learn new things everyday. Only idiots limit their intelligence to school. |
| Not really, looking back and things I said, did, and wrote makes me uncomfortable. I thought I was smart, but because people told me I was. I actually felt like a dumb ass, failure. Now I'm doing alright for myself, and don't really try to measure intelligence. I feel like I make better arguments, and put more care I to my thoughts than I used to. So by that extent, I do feel I'm smarter than I was. |
traed said: It's more accurate to say I'm not functioning peak capacity. I know my intelligence went up over time but my ability to use it went down soon after. Generally the same here, but it's more mixed at times. |
| That happens to those who weren't intelligent exactly, but rather just productive enough to do their tasks well, which made they complacent. They ended up resting on their laurels. Therefore, they didn't develop the discipline and interest needed to still learn or perform well after that temporary production boost went away. |
 |
| Yes. I feel like I was at my smartest when I was 17-20. I feel smart no more. |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |
| No. I was always dumb tbh. Now I am still dumb but I have life experience. |

| Sometimes. But I probably am smarter than before |

| I'm not sure, I never considered myself intelligent. I always felt like I was lacking something. |
| Well, when you are a kid you think you have everything figured out, because you have a very narrow view of the world. But as an adult, you realize just how vast the world really is, and how much knowledge is out there. Even if you are infinitely smarter than you where then, it seems insignificant in scale. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| the brain is a muscle, you need to train it to keep it efficient or it wont be as efficient anymroe, try doing sudoku, you might also be under stress, you might not be sleeping enough also smart peopl tend to notice their faults more |
| I've been always dumb what r u talking about |
 |
| In my experience I think I'm smarter than previous years. But I also believe somehow I'm unable to retain information. It's weird. |
