I honestly don’t know i I’m stupid or smart anymore-

Everyone is here to make themselves feel better. Don't lie.

"8 Signs You Are Smarter Than You Think" me: pushes a door that says "Pull"

When they said "You're empathetic" I thought it said "You're pathetic" and I went "yeah that's me"

The Dunning Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people who are dumb think they're smart, while people who tend to be smart, think they're dumb. It's a beautiful world.

I’ve always been the “smart kid” but as I’m growing up, I’m less motivated, school sucks. I used to get sad when I got a 3, but now as long as I don’t get a 1 I’m happy.

This is ligit my brain’s thinking process: I know I secretly think im smart so that means I’m actually dumb but now I’m thinking I’m dumb so I’m smart but now I’m thinking I’m smart and it goes on and on and on

Summary: 1. You don't feel smarter than the average (c.f. Dunning-Kruger effect). 1:05 2. You're empathetic. 1:27 3. You're creative, you think outside of the box. 2:05 4. You're proactive rather than reactive. 2:33 5. You're open-minded. 3:23 6. You practise self-improvement. 4:00 7. You crave to keep learning. 4:43 8. You're emotionally aware. 5:12 I've got 7 of those.

The lil’ plant 🌱 on the head is what I’m here for.

When you’re so early that no one has posted a summary yet lol

I need this boost really hard during quarentine.

“Eight signs you are smarter than you think” *No don’t do that , don’t give me hope*

Summary 1. You deem yourself stupid. 2. "I know that feeling, bro." 3. You can make treasure out of trash. 4. "Hmm, why did this guy do this to me?" 5. "Let me know what you think." 6. Holding grudges disgust you. 7. "Knowledge is power" is your mood every day. 8. You're emotionally aware.

I'm not smart but i can relate to all these signs... I might be smarter than what I think

If this works for everyone, shouldn't that be called COMMON SENSE.

Me: *is all of this* My anxiety: "you still suck, the video is lying to you"

8 Signs You Are Smarter Than You Are: This Video Is Recommended To You

My "friends" just take advantage of my friendship and intellect and then leave me in the dirt when I need help lmao

this video be like: “You smarter if you breathe”

Can you make “ Signs that you are dumber than you think”

*8 Signs you are Smarter than you think:* 1. You are always Ten Billion Percent certain on things

The only reason I feel smart is because people tell me so , otherwise I don’t feel that I’m smart, although I do think outside the box .

1:57 When you have high EQ, you say that you have a high IQ instead. EQ is for emotional intelligence btw. Also, can you make a video titled "8 signs you are dumber than you think"? I believe the world needs that one more.

Summary 1. You dont feel smarter than avarage 2. You are empathetic 3. You are creative 4. You are proactive 5. You are open-minded 6. You pratice self-improvement 7. You crave to keep learning 8. You are emontionally aware

So it’s confirmed, I’m as stupid as I thought 😂

Not feeling smarter than "average" is not what the Dunning-Kruger effect says. Very smart people do know that they are, but think of how amny things they know they do not know. They will often (not always) underestimate their abilities, but that does not mean that they think they are average. 😍 This is a major flaw in the video lecture. The rest is good.

"...it could be a sign of higher intelligence" *looking up* i knew aliens were real

Me before watching this: Maybe I'm not stupid after all? Me after watching this and realizing none of it applies to me: Ah. So I AM stupid.

I believe when we start understanding people better than others, this is the key. It's empathy

Her voice is so calming ♥️

Me : fits all the aspects Also me : nah, I'm probably just narcissistic

Me: im probably smarter than i thi- Me: *wait*

Am I the only one who thinks her voice sounds so sweet and kind? Btw I love your videos, it teaches and makes me understands other things more

Me: shows all these signs Also me: *[ CONFUSED SCREAMING ]*

When you say "my brain" you actually speak to yourself in third person😳

Don't mind me, just want to stroke my egos

The real one is... you know the answer to 2+2 without using a calculator.

I've never been this early before. 1) I don't know if I'm smart. I'm paradoxically the smartest and dumbest person in the room. Unless it's emotional intelligence. Then it's I'm denser than a black hole. 2) I can't read emotions. At all. 3) Yeah, I'm creative. 4) I'm extremely impulsive. 5) I sometimes look for new experiences. I'm looking for more and more everyday. 6) I'm shit at self-care. Though I do "self check". Again nonexistent emotional intelligence. 7) Yes Yes Yes! I will never be out of things to learn! Learning is tastier than pizza, more priceless than the a puppy and more special than anything in the universe. 8) No emotional intelligence to speak of. I am very easily manipulated.

Me just being an emotional scorpio: **anxiety- mAyBe depression- bottling up everything** InTeLlEGeNt? Brain: don't even *try* to get out of this hole you've unknowingly dug yourself into.

Great video!!! Thanks you so much for consider my suggestion and putting some references!!! It helps even more!! You guys are improving a lot, keep it up!!!

Me *sees title* My one brain cell: *clicks*

Am I the only one who never knew that EQ existed? Prob just me xD

Me: *comes to see if my stupidity is actually smartness* Me: *leaves having only become stupider*

Thankyou for making these videos, and I’ve discovered that I’m a HSP, and I’ve always thought that i was just being to sensitive, and crying out of nowhere, and i notice way more details than people around me, i think a lot, and i do over process a lot, this may be the wrong video to comment about my trait, but I’m very glad to find your videos on RU-vid, thank you !

Im not first. But I won’t be the last. But one thing is true. I sure was fast!

Litterally when someone tells me something Im like "what?" And when i say that i finally understand what they said when i say what

I feel like I have most of these traits, 1. I understand most people and their emotions, I've always been fascinated with emotions and what it does to people 2. I've never seen myself as a smart or intelligent person because I've never been the best at my school 3. I am pretty creative, I always make up many stories in my head, even though I feel like the stories I make are so stupid 4. I love learning, I feel like I'm the only one, who genuinely loves learning most of the time, of course I have my bad days where I hate learning but most of the time, I love it 5. I'm mostly open minded, I don't really judge as long no one is getting hurt, a lot of my classmates aren't as open minded because of religious reasons and even though it hurts me I understand their reasons and much rather let everyone be happy with their beliefs then impulsively get mad because they don't see things like I do, which brings me to number 6. I feel like I'm proactive( I'm not sure though, probably not) whenever I get into a fight on the internet I don't just react and start shouting and swearing uncontrollably (like most people I've seen) I read through their reasons and answers politely cause I don't want to shout at someone who I don't know, cause that's irrational and unnecessary to me, but who knows maybe I'm not intelligent at all maybe I'm just stupid like everyone else or maybe I am intelligent, doesn't really matter to me 😁😃

i used to feel veey smart. now everyone makes me feel like an idiot..

I was tested in the 140s IQ range when I was a kid. I started school a year early early, and was nearly skipped another grade on top of that. College was easy for me, and I'm one that has a cool head in emergencies. Reading people isn't hard, either. I'm great at writing and photography, because I use my analytical skills for both. I never stop learning; literature, the sciences, history, languages... For me, it's all about observation and curiosity. The problem is, I do it so much that I'm disconnected from those around me. I've been diagnosed with Schizoid Personality Order and Depression, and spend my time isolated. I have no relationships. I love traveling and experiencing new things, but I don't emotionally connect with people. The fact that I don't have any true passion or direction in life despite all I've done greatly bothers me. This is a huge blind spot, and I don't know how to fix it. Also, I fall short in several subjects. For example, I don't know anything involving the technical aspects of music, no do I have any talent for it. Same goes with anything involving astrophysics, aeronautics, oceanography, sailing, spelunking, pottery, medicine... My coordination is average at best, and I haven't played any sports since college. Math is decent, but Calculus was a real headache. There are innumerable parts of history that I still haven't covered yet; I want to focus more on Asian history and philosophy to learn more about my heritage. I'm trying to teach myself Mandarin right now, but it's much, _much_ harder than European languages due to the sheer amount of differences and emphasis on tones. All I can do is keep studying, learning, and applying whatever I can. But now that I'm getting older, it may be necessary for me to narrow down my field of interests to maybe 3 or 4, and specialize from there. I wish I could go back to college and earn a doctorate, but it's so ridiculously expensive now. Regardless, my username isn't just for show; I really do intend to be polymath.

I’m a new subscriber. My name is Anh, and I’m really smart but suffering depression. I started suffering from depression last year. I also have entomophobia, the fear of insects.

You guys have been working a lot these days : 0 thank you for that

Wow thanks for this. Related to this a lot and now I feel better about myself 😊👍

me: literally aces the final also me: i literally have 2 brain cells

I’m so stupid: by “signs” I thought they meant zodiac signs🤦‍♀️

Wow I have all of these ! Thank you for making me feel better!

my therapist says I’m extremely smart and my dad say I have the highest IQ and EQ in the family but I feel dumb as bricks so idk (I get good school marks aswell)

I knew there was a reason me and my friends were able to survive until round 19 (Cod Waw Zombies)

Hello! I’m sorry! This is kind of unrelated.. but my best friend has really bad anxiety.. especially nowadays! She used to go to therapy but can’t afford it anymore! I’ve been helping her with it, but I really want to be able to do more!! I looked up what I can do to help, but mostly found what *not* to say or do to someone with anxiety! So I still don’t know what I *should* do.. it would mean a lot to me if you out made a video on how to help someone with anxiety! I love your channel, by the way! I think you guys are doing an amazing thing for the world 💖

Emotional awareness isn't just knowing wether you're being manipulated, it's the knowledge of others feelings

Thank you.Your videos help me too much.Thanks for motivating me!

When someone possess all 8 signs: Person: damn I'm smart Dunning-Kruger effect: Well Yes, but actually No Anotha 1: s/he's too dangerous to be left alive

"We deal with problems everyday-" Ad: "Do you ever wonder why men push away women who are *perfect* for them?"

When they said you are empathetic, I thought for like 5 straight seconds they said "pathetic" and I was like, I mean your not wrong

Video: you are smarter than you think. Me: *still gets confused about left and right* umm

Definitely helps the imposter syndrome a bit thank you!

Me: So I’m smarter than I think then? Also me: *tries to skewer a live crocodile that was in a pool full of algae that is stuck on it* Hmmmmm sure

5 of them are definitely me, the other ones, I'd have to reflect on more to know for certain - thank you for this content quite interesting :)

This videos are helping me enormously. I have always considered a weakness of me to be the first to apologise after a disagreement to have that relationship back, as if I was the submissive one. I could relate to all of the signs in the video, but I always thought of them as weaknesses

Literally everyone is thinking, “yeah that about sums me up.”

me after seeing this video : *wait so am i a genius ?* me 2 seconds later : *hey , what if animals were named humans and humans were named animals ? what if we're all in a lucid dream and waking up is what we call "death"?*

Came to lower my ego but now I feel smart af. Thank you video, very cool.

I can relate to all the signs, but I still don't believe that I'm smart.

Sign 1: You Mine the Diamonds before Gold in Minecraft

Thank you for this!,💓💓💓

me: *fits all descriptions* huh. i guess i am smart. also me: * goes to a room and forgets why i went there the first place* lol

Every get that situation where you think your solution to a problem is stupid but when you tell people they find it amazing?

I aligned with the intelligence signs, **until Middle School blew me over.**

I lack in maths so hard that it makes me feel so stupid sometimes but then there are those little moments I suddenly see through and say to myself "you're not that stupid then you think..." and this video helps a lot to gain more self awareness. Thank you!

The self improvement / saying sorry thing kinda opens the door for toxic relationships

but why’d she spell “average” as “avarage” at 1:06😭😭

1:yep 2:yea 3:definitely 4:absolutely 5:....how do u know????? 6:sadly yew 7:oh....heck yes

Heyy I'm new here. I love your video. You know what I usually fall in thoughts where I create my own world and one more thing a plant on your character's head has a deep roots in your mind. I'm a student of psychology and I'm grateful for this knowledge.. Thank you.

Psyche to Go you are pretty smart. I like your videos especially the sketches describing the situations. You explain everything in an intelligent way😊😊

I feel like this makes me even more doubtful about my intelligence than before :/

When I read the title I was like AH bet

You helped so incredibly much💛🧡

I practically revived while watching this vid. It is pretty cool how ur vids are created :) I'm usually as reactive as a vulcan, but you helped me ti turn into a feather that can go in the smallest gaps to explore :D Thank you 😍

I'M HERE

Me: has a pretty reasonable amount of intelligence Also me: does stupid stuff like accidentally dropping my phone in the floor at least once every two weeks Why am I like this 😂

Always take my time to process the information. It helps me in getting a base understanding of how the process works.

I would love if you guys could make a video about art therapy sometime in the future. I'd be so excited to see what you find since I am majoring in art therapy at my university

The signs are 1. You do not feel smarter than 2. You are empathetic 3. You are creative 4. You are proactive 5. You are open minded 6. You practice self improvement 7. You crave to keep learning 8. You are emotionally aware Thank me later

I love how the hypnotist’s hair has bones on the x-ray.

i just love this!!! it so explains my life right now

Now it makes more sense why I’m more creative and thought provoking when I’m studying or learning something new

Me: **Always thinks I'm dumb and stupid** "OMG I'M SMARTER THAN OUR TOP 1" (not really lol)

Yeeeaaaah I’m a complete dumbass like I didn’t hit ANY of the points here

Wow this helped me a lot thanks

(.....I match all of these at different levels, which was quite a boost, thanks😁😂💜)
