Yes!! Yes!! Yes!! There have literally been studies that prove this. It’s referred to as having an external locus of control as opposed to an internal locus of control and and it’s an entire perspective shift! Coming to u from a former “gifted kid” amidst an intense locus shift!
wish ppl realized "gifted kid burnout" isnt "wah ppl arent saying im smart anymore" its "ive had my entire sense of self-worth propped up on being nebulously Intelligent & now that i have to apply real-world skills nobody bothered to teach me, ive realized it's easier to not try"
I find that a lot of stupid people hide behind big words and flowery vocabulary, and a lot of smart people aren’t afraid to use basic language to get their ideas across in an easy to understand way. Also I’m stoned on the toilet right now.
Funny how I’ve been living on my own for two years: paying rent, buying groceries and gas, paying my tuition and phone bill, buying my own clothes and school supplies, purchasing my own medicine...yet somehow I’m still considered a “dependent” so I won’t get a stimulus check
@HeatherTDay I got sick of hearing “no” anytime I asked for an extension due to illness or family emergency, I literally stopped asking and just started saying I was taking them. Went from “May I?” To “I will be taking an extra day.” Prof was dumbfounded but realized he couldn’t argue
