I've met multiple people who want to pretend I'm dumber than I am, cause me being smart would threaten their world view or assumptions about the world and make them uncomfortable.
Like one person said I lied about having severe health problems before I got into university cause he did not want to believe he was incorrect for having a hostile view of my merit and work ethic while we were in school. If he believed he was incorrect, it would mean there was something faulty about his assessment of others.
Another guy said I lied about my abusive mother because he did not want to acknowledge he was out of line for judging me as unworthy for participation in his prayer ministry, once he saw I did not have the confidence his friends did.
I told my cousin about a vision God gave me in a dream and she dismissed it as some kind of PTSD issue after a painful illness, cause she would rather believe I'm insane, then believe that the God I learn about is real.
There is a verse in the bible which says, you won't have to share your testimony with others, the evidence will speak for itself and what you never said with your mouth, they will understand with their mind once they see the change in your life for themselves.

this is the 3rd question of yours I've answered. and they all have you making assumptions about others.
you dont know they want to pretend you're anything.
im going to cut to the chase and be honest with you without decoration.
they honestly most likely think you are dumber, than you think you are.
that is why they are probably telling you you are dumb
or acting like you dont get shit
its because thats genuinely how they feel...
they are not pretending
the only time you should think that someone is unconfortable about their worldview being questioned
is when you qwuestion it and then they lose their shit and become violent or flighty
again "violent" or "flighty"
when their flight or fight response kicks in that means youve are testing their worldview and they are upset about it
if they dont fight and dont flee, then dont assume that
im assuming he meant what he said when he told you that you lied about having health problems
and im assuming you know EXACTLY what he was referring to. i notice you left that detail out.
as for the prayer ministry, again, he probably actually does believe you lied about your mom.
you're assuming what? you're assuming that "he saw you did not have the confidence"
you're assuming WAAAAY WAAA YWAAY too much
god vision. any time you tell someone about a vision of god, they are going to look at you like you're crazy
thats how that goes. yes it absolutely makes sense the ptsd thing. yes you do sound quite insane. no offense.
nowhere in the bible does it contain a verse that says you shouldn't or won't have to share your testimony. On the contrary there are a few verses about sharing your testimony and the right way to do it.
you are completely wrong and i hope i did not offend.
