Do you look smart but actually are really dumb? How does this make you feel?

[mrsingle]

People always assumed because I wear glasses I'm smart. I hate to admit it, but I'm not very smart, I've just gotten good at playing it off that I am to fool people, I've had years to perfect it.

It makes me angry because I'm not smart. Your looking at someone who barely got through school even in special Ed classes, was exempt at learning a second language for school, have learning disabilities, socially I don't get anything, I could write a list but everything is difficult for me to do that is so simple for others to grasp, and I barely learn reading instructions or when I'm shown how to do something. I'm the dumbest person I know except someone who is legally mentally retarded and can't speak.

I've gotten so down on it I told people I'm not smart because sometimes they asked me a question and I couldn't answer it so my secret was out.

Hmm I can see how that can be complicating, Im sorry its annoying :-(

I used to wear glasses since the 5th grade so people assumed I was pretty smart when I wasn't. Till I got Lasik and got rid of them!! Freedom!!

Well I mean I am intelligent but not like Einstein, I dont know politics, mathematics that well, or anything scientific - however just because a person wears glasses doesn't automatically mean that they are smart.

People think they look nerdy in glasses because nerds are smart. People always assume glasses means your smart.

I think I'm the other way around. People underrate my knowledge because I look like a dam fool!😂😂

[mrsingle]

I can see that being frustrating, but at least you can surprise them and say something smart.

[Melcart23]

Lol. It's not frustrating really. It's all good.
