well it was a good track by nirvana!
If intelligence isn't your strongest point, don't stress about it.
Intellectual ability does not denote moral integrity.
There are qualities i respect in people way more than intelligence alone - like loyalty, selflessness, compassion, empathy, optimism, humour, a nice set of tits, the absence of a gag reflex etc
in fact some of the biggest cunts to have ever figured in historical atrocities, were intelligent as hell!
if theres one thing worse than a psychopath, its a clever fucking psychopath!

first of all, what do u consider to be smart? Why is it important to you? Is someone/something triggering you feel dumb?
^ the above. We tend to compare ourselves to other people way more than its necessary. I think you should find intelectual activity you are good at and try to excell. You see not everyone has to be good at solving math problems, in reality there are many different types of intelligence (interpersonal, logical-mathematical, linguistic etc.). You think you are dumb because you know what you are dumb at, you just dont know what you are good at yet. Discover your potential!

Where are you getting the idea that you're dumb? What or who are you comparing yourself to? Whatever, whoever you have to forget it. You need to live by your own standards. Clearly you can operate a computer, type, you may think these things are simple but there are people who cannot do any of it.
When will it change? Whenever you want it to. Take up a class that interests you. You always have the capacity to learn new things. Focus on the thing that makes you feel dumb and ask yourself why.
Overcome it. You have to make the effort. Get out in the world and explore, travel, go to school, whatever is most comfortable for you now.

hey, if you are comparing yourself to "smart" people you see on the internet, don't! people here can appear to be geniuses simply because they know how to do a Google search. many of the self proclaimed intellectuals are just as average as you and me, but think they are these secret amazing geniuses who are just unrecognized like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting. in a way, I think these people are the dumb ones, because their delusions of grandeur make them think they can just sit around and do nothing except proclaim how smart they "actually" are.
There are so many different kinds of "smarts" too. A brain surgeon and an architect most likely couldn't do eachothers jobs, but each is smart in his own way. And in the end, isn't the most important thing the good feeling of accomplishing something or helping someone else out? A volunteer worker who helps out at senior centers and animal shelters, a doctor who goes to third world countries to treat underpriveledged children, a blue collar man who helps rebuild houses after natural disasters hit...these people will have much more satisfaction in their lives than some angry guy who sits on the computer all day trying to seem intelligent. A construction worker who looks at a new building and goes, "wow, I helped build that" probably has more satisfaction out of his life than Office Drone #264 in cubicle H.

haha no, dont most people have an average IQ?
We can be our own worst critics.
If you are feeling 'stuck', labelling yourself as being 'dumb' is'nt necessarily going to change the situation. If anything, the feelings of guilt/shame/inadequacy are only going to fuel any cycle of unwanted behaviour.
Be fair to/with yourself, even if you feel inadequate.
Being an addict or behaving like an addict isnt dumb IMO(if that is what you are referring to?)
yess, infact 80-90% is from drug use alone. i feel amazing on the drugs but always have shit that i have to pick up after im done getting high. and to top it all off i got jacked tonight so thats fucking bullshit.
it isnt weed either. i have never been robbed or jacked or had money problems with weed. but it's the opiates that have costs me thousands of dollars from drug use alone. i have lost another 200 dollars from shit from being jacked and loaning money and never getting it back. im so sick of the monkey always being on my back but i want to use so bad right now.

^This is the headwrecking story of addiction alright! 8)
Sorry to hear you were jacked LaCster...hope your ok?
It is important to know your mistakes and be aware of the ones we have some control over. However beating ourselves up, excessively, can add extra pressure to an already established desire for the opiate to restore a good feeling again.
Opiates hijacks brain chemistry, the structure of certain drugs, like opiates, mimic natural neurotransmitters fooling the brain cells however because they arent the same as our natural neurotransmitters they interfere in the natural process; as it would be without their use. So dependence ensues.
So cravings are part of the addicted brain; the monkey. However we do have a will of our own and this is what we can use to fight it. Making certain choices based on the depths of the negative consequences the addiction has brought on.

yah i am ok. im still alive an breathing but sometimes it doesnt feel like enough. i kno i should stop beating myself but i dont know what to do to make things better. i've always just run to drugs to make these feelings go away and now i got nothing. i kno where this kid live who jacked me and im really tempted to do some shit...but is it worth it? what will that do? will revenge really satisfy me?
i keep saying to myself, just take a long break from this beast so you can work this shit out, but here i am the next minute calling other people looking for other connects that can help me out. i even asked the dude who robbed me if he could help me out (its a long story, he claims it was the dude who sold them to us, but i kno it was him because this isn't his first time doing shit like this to other people)....
i kno if i keep it up at this rate i wont have anything left at all, no family, money, house, food, ect.. i already see it happening before my eyes. i have no friends because i traded them all away for opiates, and my family knows about my drug use and it's always a battle. i have a part-time job but it is mainly there so i can afford my drug use. all my money dissapears within two weeks of my paycheck and i am left with being sober/sick for a week.
eventually my tolerance will catch up and i wont even be able to get high anymore, but it is so easy to say "screw the long term consequences, i want to live in the moment and get high"
after losing all that money last night i really want to just stop this madness but i kno ill be right where i started in another week or two or however long it takes to find some more....

Glad your still alive and breathing...
So true, existing alone isn't satisfying especially when feeling stuck in a seemingly perpetual cycle.
Le Caster, have you got any help with this, Therapy, support groups etc?
Managing things alone is a big burden...
