Hi Corafree,
I have to say, I’ve been called a stupid b*tch many times and it’s never pleasant, is it?
I wonder if you’re taking the ‘stupid’ part too literally. Of course you’re not stupid. And people call other people stupid all the time without believing the person they’re insulting is actually stupid. It’s not nice, but they do it.
When people call me stupid I always say, “So which university is *your* PhD from?” It’s not the cleverest line in the world, but it makes me feel better! (So far, no one has replied, “Harvard”, but I’m sure the day will come…)

Yes, well, I think I can safely say that every person in the world has experienced this! Including the super-intelligent people.
For what it’s worth, I think reading can help with almost anything. The more you read, the easier you will find it to express yourself. Reading is much better than watching TV for that.
If you find it hard to concentrate on reading, start with easier things. Even books for kids or for teenagers can be really good. The more you do it, the easier it will get.
Happy reading!
Tamar
