Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

I'M STUPID, DUMB. I JUST TRY TO BE OVERSMART SO I GET ATTENTION

I'm really dumb and stupid. Im so clumsy. And as I daydream, I try to be an extrovert and centre of attention in reality but unfortunately end up appearing even more dumb. Ive been called so by my teachers in primary school and by others who are not even superior to me like my teachers are. Since ive grown now, nobody tells this to me in my face. But im sure thats what they'll be thinking.......she's so stupid. The unfortunate part is.......im soon going to complete my mbbs in a year. So im gonna be a doctor with mind full of guilt to such an extent that she believes even her family, her own parents find her clumsy. But there are some good times when i feel it may not be so and i'm just thinking too much. I know rhis guilt is not worth it but at the same time I cant get over it. Plz help!

Comment by Roel on August 3, 2015 at 1:52am: I often feel like I'm stupid too and teachers used to call me supid as well whene I was little.

I'm autistic: I actually am socially retarded and no matter how much I try, I always do things the wrong way in public and none of my friends seems to accept I am like this, they just don't want me to act "like a retard" and are often mad at me because of it. It makes me feel even more dumber.

I'm sure a lot of other people can relate to what you were telling too, so you have no reason to feel like anoutcast. Good luck with becoming a doctor ;)

Please: NEVER apologize for having feelings. Mood shifts can be difficult. Who ever judges you for being imperfect of for having a heart isn't worty to make you feel even worse.

By writing this you didn't bother anyone. (even if you felt happy the next second or so) We care, and we like to help :) Don't hesitate to talk when you are feeling down, even if you think you will feel beter quickly. You better get it out fast, instead of just swallow the pain.

Comment by Simran on July 31, 2015 at 2:01pm: Rose and reza...I hope u've read this comment(the last one by me). I'm really sorry to have bothered u over my mood shifts. It's an apology from my side!!!

Comment by Simran on July 31, 2015 at 1:41pm: Actually I wouldn't have written this blog as it it is wrong to criticise urself(as u said). But it was one of those days when I felt dumb, lethargic, slow, timid......in simple words SOCIALLY AWKWARD! I mean u should see the way I eat, talk, walk in public. If I had to see myself from public's point of view i would've thought to myself 'this girl is socially retarded. She behaves like she's been exposed to less of the world'. This makes me feel lonely and judged. And Yeh....academically I've been doing well right from the beginning. But that's not enough. The most imp thing u need is to be socially fit. I hope u understand I don't feel like this always.....and so I apologize if it was a matter of worry for you. Thankyou for ur advice.....it means a lot to me:-)

Well i don't know about you but where i live becoming a doctor is a great deal!

The only problem i think you have my friend is low self confidence.and it's allright!I mean i have low self confidence as well.But i'm trying and trying to become a more confident person.

I suggest you to think less and do more.or lets say daydream less and do more.If you don't have a job get a job.

if you're not in a good shape go swimming,jogging,,work out.

Accept Yourself!! people are different.this is our difference.Don't run away from life.

Sorry if i talked too much.

wish you luck!!!!!!

Comment by rose on July 29, 2015 at 6:17am: You are going to be a doctor and you think you're stupid!

HOW IT CAN BE!

Actually "No one in this world is stupid"

Every person has his own special gifts and talents (the God gave them to him) witch make him unique.

Some people cannot see these great specifications in themselves but that does not mean that they do not exist.

Your problem is not that you're stupid. Your problem is that you did not meet a good person to tell you how much great you are, to show you those good specifications in you.

But believe me they do exist.

You don't have to be the best. All what you need is to be better every single day (in very small steps).

And the first thing that you need to be better in it and to develop it is how to feel good about yourself and how to respect it. Tell yourself every day that you have so much and you can give so much to this world.

Count every tiny good thing you do and be happy about it.

Wish you luck,
