Is it okay to be slow?

And when i mean slow i mean in stuff like understanding concepts,understanding punchlines to jokes,school work growing up and most things in my life. And the thing is
never really realized that im slow until like 2 month ago. The really weird part is that I've never been diagnosed with any disability like autism or dyslexia so I may genuinely be retarded and honestly I feel like shit knowing this probably can't be changed

i relate to you heavily, we all have our own pace of learning, its better to just accept that and make peace with it and learn with the internet, you can replay a video however times you want, you can talk with chatgpt to explain which parts you specifically dont understand about something, you can ask it to word it in a way that helps you understand
the internet is a blessing to slow learners like us
For social things, i never cared because i dont need other peoples approval

Its ok to be slow brother. Its definitely a disadvantage, but you aren't a worse person for it, some things just might be a bit harder. If you are willing to put in work, you can do basically everything that somebody smarter can, if you are smart and lazy you are no different from anyone else, and you can still stand out through effort.

Nobaldi cares about not understanding punchlines, theres enough autists out there that its not too weird for somebody to not understand.

absolutely
one of my friends is slow and genuinely double digit IQ, but he worked really hard and got into Stanford

motivation and discipline is infinitely more important than IQ

you can do what you apply yourself to <3

i swear i'm not. it's just what i said. motivation and discipline leads to perseverance.
for the record ive been tested at 98th percentile iq and i ended up dropping out of high school.
being slower doesn't automatically disqualify you from being a high achiever

>honestly I feel like shit knowing this probably can't be changed
it's difficult to change inherent intelligence, but it is absolutely possible to change the ways you view challenges and how you approach and overcome them

of course it's okay. especially nowadays with the internet you can try as many times as you want, no pressure. everybody deserves a life, even people like us.

If you are net positive taxpayer it's okay.

I feel the same way I struggled in school from 6th grade to the end of high school and barely passed, I have le 'tism but the doctors said its the high functioning kind so I shouldn't be this retarded, I'm not terrible with social stuff and that's the thing that's honestly the easiest to fix, cus if you're genuinely just slow at figuring things out, finding solutions to things, and understanding things, then really it'll always be like that and you cant do anything.
