| During my school years, I always thought of myself as being above average in intelligence; I got good grades without any effort, I understood (to the degree necessary) just about every topic that was put in front of me and was able to explain it to my peers (I often acted as unofficial teachers aid ... |

| It's not that the phrase "I dont know" repeats in my head and that the phrase's repitition is somehow troubling me; it's that im so dissociated that I cant make heads or tails of anything. |

| I don’t know. This phrase has haunted me for a few years now and in the deep recesses of my mind I can always hear these words being echoed. For a while I thought I knew what the world was about, but where assumed information was, that phrase eventually began to take its place. My mind has now erode... |

| I seem to run into this issue almost constantly. I’ve developed the habit of speaking very quietly, especially when around many people (which the issue is amplified by the fact that there’s a greater volume of noise floating around). I have a dreadful fear of being wrong; really not a good fear to h... |

| I've considered telling my dad this (among other things) but I'm sure he would flip out and decide to move pronto. He’s lived here for like 7 years or so now and I just don’t want to cause unnecessary stress for him. |

| So, I’m still living at home with my dad and a roommate. The house is large and nearly impossible to disturb one another, however the roommate has recently taken to trying to drive me out in various ways. Just yesterday, he implied that a depressive phase with suicidal ideation I recently had was me... |

I figure this way I might be able to avoid creating socially awkward situations through some behavior or comment. I’m not grossly awkward but I find my word choice to be pretty atypical ... |

| Some people have told me that I'm a pretty intelligent guy or at least above average but this is usually after an exchange centered around things that I've taken an interest in. Outside of my areas of interest I usually perform quite poorly; and what is intelligence but the concept of a generalized ... |

| Oh yes, many people I encounter probably leave with the impression that I’m quite dense; which might very well be true, lols. However, I do think that the impression might be a little inflated as a result of my difficulties with real time communication. I guess one recent example I could give comes ... |

What goes for clyde also goes for me. However, I'm not so adept at determining genuine intent through actions in real time; too many variables and it begins to drive me mad. |

| In most situations I think I come across as a bit dull. This could probably be attributed to a number of things but I think the most consistent factor that leads people to assume I'm below average is because I don’t really contribute a whole lot to the conversation. It's not so much that I don’t hav... |

| Social skills are sort of on the periphery of my concerns. Though sometimes things will give me a terrible fright from the corner of my eye and during those times I kind of wished I had payed more attention. |
