Pretty much every time I’ve encountered someone who thought they were stupid it was actually one or more of
* tiredness
* fear/anxiety
* genuinely difficult problems
* executive dysfunction
* lack of information
* lack of practice
* lack of training / poor training (topic experts are often not teaching experts)
* negative preconceptions about themself becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy
* time pressureI’m pretty skeptical “stupid” is actually a thing

@Catfish_Man i think “lazy” (when applied to humans) is similarly not a real thing either.
