i'm the fisrt to admit i am not all that smart. i don't use big words. i often will not let on i am smarter then i act. don't get mix up or have much to say about differnt things.
yeah i will spell words wrong or use wrong grammer. i have people tell me i spelled word wrong or use the wrong gramar. but it depend how they might go about it to tell me. if some would say hey u need to go back to school and learn how to spell or learn gramar, yeah that gets on my nerves. then i respone back in not a nice way. now if someone tell me you spell this word this way and it should be like this, i don't mind.
most people don't know i grew up with a learning disablty on my life, i learn different then most people. i am a hand on kind of person. then with all the head injuries i had suffer through my life i had brain damage that make me not think clear at times, and forget all the things i learned in school.
but i will can say i am very wise. when it comes to life. i took all my faults and mistakes i learned a leason from them, then all the classes i took i pass that ontop others. i can go pretty any area i want too and without worry if someone will mess with me. i mean bad areas but i can also mix in many other different group of people without worry.
i don't care what people think of me, as long i am out there carry myself respectfully and treating other right. i never judge anyone and i am one of the most honest person who could ever met.
but often when people often think i have no clue what i am doing, or just try to make me look like i am stuipd that gets on my nerves.
i recently started working with my brother and his company, when i come up with new idea to make things work or run easier he's often surpise.
here the last weeks after a deer hit my car, a few people think i had no clue what i was doing, so i've been telling people what you think i am that damn stuipd ? i do know what i am doing..
how do you deal with people like this ? do you tell straight up ?

hi syankee525. i fully understand what you mean. But i do believe otherwise. you may not be good at some things but you're best with other stuff.
all throughout my life i felt that people believe that i'm dumb and stupid. i am more inclined to arts then academics. i am an enormous daydreamer and people often see me as absentminded. my iq's superior but somehow i cant do simple tasks that require me to pay attention to details and tasks which i have difficulty with all my jobs- past and present. most often i go home and cry because i feel like i am the most inadequate person in the whole wide universe. office mates play pranks at me for fun. they laugh behind my back because i have difficulty with short term memory. this has been a major issue in my life. yes, sometimes people make me feel less than a person. how do i deal with this? mope around and allow my self-esteem to plummet into the lowest level possible. then, i dream about being in another place and working as an artist someday, something im inclined to do and get back on track for another working day.
Just believe in yourself, its great that you've got new creative ideas for your brothers' company. Suprise him more! focus on the things you do best. things will be looking up. Good luck to both of us!

not sure how old you are. but i learn i don't allow people to take over my emotions or my self-esteem.
to me as long you don't treat people that way, and you respect all you are a great person.
if you want to become a artist i say go after your dream no matter what anyone say otherwise.
i'm into the creative things too, i write peorty and i even got into writing songs. so many always told me you can't and won;t. well now i look at them and say well i guess since you think i cant or couldn't then why do i have three of my peoms pulbished in three books, and why did i not only won awards for my poerty but i also won awards for some songs for not being picked up by famous people.
i also learn to help me to deal with things, robin willaim once said this, you got to learn to laugh at yourself and your faults. so i will make fun of myself for my medical issues and even about my learning disablty. because i know i am a good person, no matter what anyone thinks. i tell people really fast yeah i am much smarter then i look or act..
i do have a freind and a newphew the sameway. they are slow but good people, ok my nephew use his disablty toward his favorite. to take advange of people. but i tell the family he's smarter then he put on to be
but you go after your dream, get your art out there, belive in yourself.

i dont think anyone has a right to make other people feel less. as we all know no one is perfect and everybody makes mistakes. i think, the only reason those people try to make another person less is because they know they are inferior and they just want to make themselves feel good by hurting other's feelings.
all i can say to those kinds of people who think they're superior but in reality they're not, is "Shame on them". :)

People who try n do that usually have some sort of complex with themselves, they have to make u feel low to make themselves feel good! I don't pay it any mind, I know who I am and what I'm about; I'll just be wasting breath cause they're not going to change!

If any one scolded me so many times first I do think about that. First I feel very bad and then I think about that matter. I think like why they are scolded me as a stupid. After than I realize myself and try avoid that type of mistakes. If I didn't do any mistakes then they will scolded me I will straightly said to that people. Happy myLotting.
