dumb ( stupid ) : missing the sense in talk ( Sometimes get the sense when re-thought later )
I do most daily routines and has good relationship with known persons. But, the dumb feeling pulls me back ( eg: “not creating” new friends , not getting another job/getting out of comfort zone )
What do you “passively” do to overcome this ? Else , what are the active tasks you do?
Thanks, I do have curiosity about learning like most persons I know.
What kills my curiosity are :
Its like most people’s attitude ( If I am in that better place/position , I will learn more. In current place, I have to take more effort so I wont try at all ! ). So, thats a part of my dumbness .
When there’s a lot to learn or do, break it up into smaller chunks. It makes it feel less overwhelming, which is the biggest reason why we become inconsistent, lazy and find reasons not to do the things we do actually want to do.
I’m not a doctor, but I have a lifetime of experience in being overwhelmed. I lived with the resulting anxiety and depression for over thirty years until finally diagnosed and medicated. The last decade has been the best since the first.
