I’m a student at university trying his best to learn. Some of my friends here and back home are some smart ass kids in smart kid majors and I really like them as people, but sometimes they joke around that I’m dumb or something and it really gets to me. I think I’m decently smart sometimes but I have a lot of health anxiety around developing mental issues later in life (schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, etc) and when I move home for summer I plan on talking to a therapist about my anxiety. Today I asked a question about a company contract on Reddit while doing research on companies to invest in and someone said that I had 3 brain cells and I’m trying not to let it ruin my night. Why does this stuff affect me so much??
