Those that can do it passively have it engrained in them through repetition it's not an actual sign of intelligence

By reilo Go To PostThe definition of actually using your brain rather than muscle memory is weird to you? OkMaybe I'm not understanding your post then. It sounded as if you were dismissing repetition as a valid tool to gain intelligence/proficiency.
It's a totally valid tool but it's not an indicator of overall intelligence, is what I am saying. It's why standardized testing has been scrutinized as a flawed measurement of intelligence because it relies on learning and answering questions more by memorization rather than critical thought.

This is a shot in the dark I guess but can anyone here give me some advice around looking for a therapist? I think I need to talk to a professional but I've heard enough horror stories about bad therapists doing more harm than good.
Don't really want to talk to friends/family about this so maybe this place can help idk.

Think it matters that you identify the issue first and then look either into helpgroups or a social service which can point you into the right direction.
Most therapists which you can freely go to are sort of "general' therapists but then there are highly specialised ones that aren't easily accessible for everyone.
I think (I don't actually know) a general therapist will refer you to a specialist after a few sessions if needed ?
I hope you're okay buddy! Everybody should go to therapy honestly

A lot of psychologists only accept appointments by referral from your doctor, so that's probably the easiest place to start.
I don't know if psychologist or psychiatrist is the right word. I know in Florida at least, you can book an appoint with a psychiatrist without any referral.

Go for it.
I’m in a bad mental state right now. I previously talked about my family here but it’s become a bit worse. Just surprised I’m still doing mostly okay despite everything but some days are worse than others.

Just surprised I’m still doing mostly okay despite everything but some days are worse than others.A bad mind space can colour the world. My sisters visited me this weekend and it was like having my eyes opened, and the fog lifted just for a little bit.
My suggestion, find some good friends to surround yourself with, if your family situation isn't great.
Also, make plans and have things to look forward to.
Yeah I’ve been keeping myself busy with guitar, games, books and seeing friends. Just hoping things pan out with a bit of distance. So far it’s helped my own mental state but it also feels unresolved which is unfortunate to me.
sometimes family are like friends you never asked for lol..
