Thank you, but also: reminder that you're smart, too. Even if you genuinely don't have a high IQ, IQ is only one way of measuring intelligence, you know? And classic academic intelligence isn't the only kind of intelligence there is. I'm sure there's something your good at.
You're a valuable person. Please remember that.

Please remember that. boy the only things I can do good at are ruining High Art, remembering and researching useless facts about things nobody cares about, and being able to put mediocre story ideas together only to not be good enough at actually writing/drawing them lmao even in my face and voice there is no sign of intelligence

calm it down (edit I now realize this appears combative I did not mean it that way) I get you have absorbed "you're not smart" but relentless bashing of yourself will only bring further sorrow and you should consider strong points such as creativity (even if the basics are derivative, it is difficult o weave them together, even to come up with a new framework for a story that already exists)
it is easy to be angry l about your own shortcomings (real or imagined) but while your attempts at humility come from a place both understandable and well-meant, you musf stop hurting yosurelc to appease others

I live in a freaking sea of dumb out here, I have seen dumb, I am dumb, and I know that you are not dumb ok you have not seen the infernos of idiot hell that I have seen try me lol you have not seen me irl, im the absolute worst thing -there are people here who think Abraham Lincoln was Jesus -a person looks at a taxidermy lion clearly labeled "TSAVO MAN EATING LION" "oh look it's Daniel tiger!" -any Florida man story -as a kid I cried because I couldn't ever be a winged cat -O T H E R K I N -"lol people think the sun is a star how dumb can you be" -cringey 12 year old YouTube animators -as said before, me -some kid in a nearby school district tried coating sweet tarts in drugs or something and took them to school only to leave them on the bus -10 year old's cringey Mary Sue OCs that have magical powers and rainbow tails -our current government -some country fought a war against itself accidentally um yeah there you go

Please remember that. boy the only things I can do good at are ruining High Art, remembering and researching useless facts about things nobody cares about, and being able to put mediocre story ideas together only to not be good enough at actually writing/drawing them lmao even in my face and voice there is no sign of intelligence Consider: 1.) High Art sounds pretentious and kind of like it deserves to be reimagined, tbh. 2.) I love useless facts. Like, half my intelligence comes from the useless facts I know. I totally respect a person who can give me more of them! 3.) It's really common among creative people to get these grandiose ideas and then struggle to execute them, especially when they're young. (I don't know your age, but I'm assuming teenager or young adult just because context.) Like, I'm still in that boat half the time, you know? But you know what fixes it? Pushing through and producing flawed art for a while. It's okay. It really is. You're never going to get better unless you maybe muck up the landing every once in a while. I've seen so much improvement in myself since I started just going for things instead of getting discouraged when projects didn't totally go the way I wanted. Nothing ever does. 4.) I know it's hard, but you've really got to pull yourself out of your insecurity. Try to treat yourself like you would treat a friend if they were struggling with something, because you are actually kind of your own friend in a sense. Be kind to yourself.
