I'll walk away mid conversation or even not respond

Do you think you respond and you don't, cause I know someone like that. It's gotten better over the years but it still happens.

I have to work a lot harder now days b/c of that. But at the same time, it is what it is, and I just have to deal with the hurdles that I have to overcome

Motivation > IQ. Many of the wealthiest people I know aren't that smart. It's almost like they don't realize all the ways they could fail and just do something, while more intelligent people can be paralyzed with worries and neuroses.

Fwiw, you never seemed dumb to me.

Yeah its usually that or I'll hear you and am paying attention to you, but something in my brain malfunctioned or something. Also thanks, b/c I've had people lie to me saying how smart I was yet their actions proved otherwise. They would talk bad about me in front of my face like I wasn't even in the room 🤡
