I don't like slow learners. I think they all have a mean streak and can't be trusted. I don't like that I feel that way but I can't help it.
What connection do you see between slow learning and meanness?
It's hard because it's a long story but my whole family are mostly slow learners and they have these characteristics. They've caused me a lot of harm because I'm so different than they are, even as an adult. I have seen it with others as well and finally drew a parallel. I was reading a few nights ago about how whiz kids can be made by scarring the brain stem. They have understood for a long time how the brain compensates when there is damage. I don't know if the information is true but it accounts for my situation. I was also in a cruel environment with idiots who abused and tortured me for my differences and this caused me a lot of challenges and difficulties. I'm a very passive person by nature and have a lot of love. It took a very long time for me to even feel what I feel now and it's very uncomfortable for me to feel that way too. They are the exact opposite in every way. I'm the one who was brain injured and the only left handed person in my family as well and left handedness is also associate with brain injury. I had a photographic memory when I was a child and still far better memory than the average person. I was prevented from going to school by my mother and singled out for abuse by her, the worst kinds of abuse anyone has heard of. It's a very long story but I have reasons for my feelings and they are justified. I have noticed a pattern of bad behavior with slow learners. They can be nice people too but don't get on their wrong side. They hate me just for being who I am. I now, after a long history of very bad abuse, have similar feelings for them but it took a lot to get me to this place and I find it very painful to have the negative feelings too.
