Your use of “you said” is you saying. Already you lie to yourself.

Stop lying to yourself. First step to smartness.

The rest sounds like self pity.

I’m not trying to kick you while you’re down. Self struggle and deliberate will are the top winning strategies, period. Everyone smart knows this. You, dumbo (lighten up) are outsmarting yourself.

Keep persisting, things will work out and you will evolve. Those who don’t, won’t.

I really appreciate your thoughts and understand your POV about self improvement and I agree that those things are important for growth. However, I still believe that everyone’s journey is different. While some people thrive through struggle and persistence, others might find different paths to success, such as creativity, collaboration, or external opportunities. Every person has their own unique way of intelligence—whether it's linguistic, logical, spatial, emotional, or any other type. However, trauma and emotional struggles can seriously affect a person's cognitive and emotional abilities, making it difficult for them to recognize their potential or use their intelligence effectively. It's not that I'm not trying to move forward or improve myself, I am trying. I'm trying a lot, but the problem is that I feel like time is passing, yet I'm still stuck where I was years ago while I've seen others move forward, even though they had to work harder. but do you know, How does it feel to be a brilliant student at one point, only to gradually see your intelligence fade away, knowing why it happened, yet being unable to help yourself?...It feels like you're trapped in sleep paralysis
