I don't know which is worse. People underestimating my intelligence (<90) or people overestimating my intelligence(extremely intelligent).

Oh I reckon they're as bad as each other

I get treated like a child who knows nothing

I get ignored overlooked laughed at and patronised constantly and when at last I am seen and heard as an adult with a modicum of intelligence then I get abandoned bullied and humiliated

C'est la vie my friend

Well actually all that should be past tense because I'm working on changing it

More like people cannot comprehend that one can be extremely clumsy yet also just as eloquent.

Cannot prioritize the things in order to get things done, yet also just as having depth in knowledge and experience.


In my opinion, it's not simply about one or the other.

More like most people's inability to conceptualize and comprehend, maybe accept the very fact that both can exist in one person.

Their inability to see 'all of me', their lack of acknowledgement of 'myself, in full picture'.
It's either all strengths or all weakness in their part, equally invalidating.


And I've been there.
In ways that not because one or the other is 'worse', but which one of it is 'easier to use'? :twisted:

^ That's a very good answer.
