I don't think my brain is very nimble.
I don't do well in conversations. I can't think quickly enough or something. I can't come up with smart, and humorous remarks. My vocabulary isn't great either.
I don't know much about anything really. I'm an expert on nothing. I don't think I'm very intelligent. I think at most I'm average.
That's okay right? I can be average. I can be happy and average...

Look what happened to Jack... he was nimble and quick. He jumped one too many candlesticks, didn't he?

But what you do contribute is invaluable.

Me too. Expertise is overrated.

I'd rather be happy and average than unsatisfied and special.

Actually, me too. :-)
Life is too short to be unhappy all the time.

After I suddenly realized that I was average, I decided to take some online IQ tests to see if I was right. I have a feeling online IQ tests are inaccurate, so I took three.
The first one I took was this 15 min timed test without using paper and pen. I barely got through half the test. I got a score of 100.
The second one was an untimed test. I used paper and pen. I got a score of 138.
The third one I took was also untimed. I didn't use a paper and pen. I got a score of 109.
Then I re-read the instructions for the third test and found out that use of a paper and pen were permitted. I retook this test and got a score of 125.
After writing these test I realized some things.
1. I do poorly on timed tests.
2. I do better when I can use a paper and pen.
3. I have problems visualizing things.
4. I have a very hard time unscrambling words. I would totally suck at Scrabble. LOLI'm surprised at the huge variations in my scores. From 100 to 138? That's crazy.
One thing seems pretty clear, I'm not below average and I'm not a genius.

thanks for talking with me
and for letting me rave more often than not
you really helped me a little while ago over on admin...
really...
you have a lot of insight you know
really
some of the things you have been coming up with...
you helped me outyou do have empathy
and sometimes...
you do know what to say to people
you do
sometimes it is about finding the confidence to say it
it is kind of putting yourself out there and sometimes people do disregard a post that took a lot of mental effort etc to compose
it gets easier with practice
but sometimes it is hard
sometimes i have no idea what to say...
i've lost it a lot in the past few months...
been off the ball quite a lot
can't find the words to say to people either...blocks took it out of me
shattered me
thats how i feel about themyou hang in there
:-)

((((((((((((((((agent858)))))))))))))))))
I'm really glad I was able to help you out. I don't know what I did exactly, but I'm glad it helped. :-)
I think you're terrific too. :-)
You've helped me so many times, I'm sure what I do for you pales in comparison.
I think you're an invaluable member here. I miss you when you're blocked. I hope Dr. Bob hears what you and others have to say about the system here.
Right now I'm glad you are posting, but I don't want to see your blocks get increased.

You say things that you would admire if you heard other people say them. Own that part, too. You ought not to pick and choose from the reality that you have available to you. Take it all in.
Wisdom is passed forward.
You've had some passed to you,
and now you pass it, too.Somehow, wisdom violates the law that energy can neither be created or destroyed.
