  These are well known stories but like with every tragedy everyone always thinks: “This won’t happen to me, because I’m different.”

    I, personally, would never think that because I’m different.

    Well, growing up in Oklahoma has definitely caused me a God complex. Being able to read instantly makes me more intelligent than most people I’ve ever met, so it’s very difficult to not assume I’m more intelligent than everyone else. The weird part is that I’ve always felt kinda dumb, but looking at everyone else, they take it beyond dumb. Everyone else is just completely illogical, like they simply do not think at all.

    So very relatable, if I met a room full of people on my level I genuinely don’t know how I’d handle that socially

      Oklahoma has to have something in the water. I had a parent teacher conference the other day and wrote “x+4=7” on the board as an example of something their middle schooler was struggling with, and I might as well as written 汉子.
