Can Anyone Please Explain This To Me? by weirdo44: 1:07am On Mar 19, 2022 |
Hi Nairalanders, please pardon my grammatical errors. I need some advice concerning what's happening in my life, I'm fed up. I must have been experiencing it for a long time but I just noticed and fully accepted that I have a mental disorder. I am extremely dull, I forget things easily, I'm slow at doing some things; normal house chores that shouldn't take more than 10 minutes could last me 30 minutes or more to complete. This issue has affected my performance at work and home, even when I'm with my friends, it affected my study too(when I was still in secondary school) In school(back then), I struggle with studying, tho I still quite understand some subjects, I never understand math, I can't solve a simple calculation. Throughout my years in high school, I never had C6 in maths, it's always D7 and it's been that way right from JSS1. It was after high school when I wanted to sit for the jamb exam that I noticed something is wrong somewhere because, despite much reading, I tend to forget everything easily. Because I so much like to study, I did jamb twice, the first trial, I had 224 and second trial, after spending many nights and days to read I scored 249 but I wasn't given admission, so I stopped education so I can learn a vocational skill/ handwork I learned Barbing and it took me 2years to mastered it (what normally would take 6months or 1year). now the main problem is, I'm extremely slow in cutting hair(like using 30 or 40 minutes to cut a customer) which my boss and my fellow apprentice would use 10 minutes to accomplish. If I made up my mind that I will try my very best to be fast while barbing, I'll still end up spending much time, I dont just understand it, I'm extremely unproductive. Tell me something in a minute, the next minute I would have forgotten, I can't even remember any event that happened during my childhood, nothing! a slow, dull, and useless to myself. Currently, I've stopped Barbing because I'm extremely slow and it's a glaring I can't make it there. Please someone should tell me there's a cure for this, and if there's none, please tell me how best I can manage it .Thanks |

It is good you identify with your weakness and you are also bold enough to share. This is not exactly a mental case, you need close monitoring, companionship and the right game. Play outdoor and indoor games (Exercise often). Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Move around with a pen and paper to help with memory. Keep a diary and record events. Your case is not worth seeing a psychologist, you need a good friend who can help you through this. I do hope you don't marry the wrong person also. 2 Likes |

weirdo44: Signs of dyslexia (adult) Everyone's experience of dyslexia will be individual to them but there are common indicators. A cluster of these indicators alongside abilities in other areas could suggest dyslexia, and should be investigated further. Do you: Confuse visually similar words such as cat and cot Spell erratically Find it hard to scan or skim text Read/write slowly Need to re-read paragraphs to understand them Find it hard to listen and maintain focus Find it hard to concentrate if there are distractions Feel sensations of mental overload/switching off Have difficulty telling left from right Get confused when given several instructions at once Have difficulty organising thoughts on paper Often forget conversations or important dates Have difficulty with personal organisation, time management and prioritising tasks Avoid certain types of work or study Find some tasks really easy but unexpectedly challenged by others Have poor self-esteem, especially if dyslexic difficulties have not been identified in earlier life 2 Likes |

Stop comparing urself with others, everyone is unique in their own way. And I don't think you are dull. I mean you typed all that up there, a dull person can not do that. There's really no drug you can use to help with what you think you need. But you can take conscious steps like, regular workout, being consciously proud of who you are, constant practice, eating right. You go they alright las las 2 Likes |

weirdo44: You are not useless. You are just a square peg. All you need to do is find a square hole to fit in. You expect a solution to come like magic because you think you need fixing like a car in a mechanic shop. It is possible you have been trying to fit into the wrong places all your life. There are people who got sacked from their job because they do things too fast. Do they have a problem? I wish i could continue with this talk but i have seen your reply to other posts and they all show you are eager and desperate for a sharp sharp solution. You will only hurt yourself. 2 Likes |

weirdo44:I think you need to understand yourself more, the pressure you are putting yourself through is no good for your mental health. 240+ jamb score is not bad atall... I had 246 and I made it into the university. Getting into uni no be by jamb score o. Baba I have seen pple with 100, 50, even 20 jamb score on second trial, what do you have to say about those. I'm a graphics designer and it took me a couple of years to get to the level I am now, something that I have seen other pple achieve in months. But right now I freelance on international platforms with lots of positive reviews to show for it and I'm not doing badly. Yes you may have challenges but you are not as bad as you are painting it honestly. Live your life man and enjoy it! PS, that you are able to understand all the stuffs ihv written up there, you are definitely not in the class of dull pple. 2 Likes |

My brother that you are slow does not mean u are dull Secondly, if u forget things, then see a doctor for that But what I see in u is a serious young man, who is committed to goals Finished secondary school Did jamb n scored above 200 twice Now learned a vocational skill My brother you are intelligent n smart As per slowness, accept yourself o, the way u are It could be annoying to others Broda u came to this life urself U came to live for God n urself n.not people Keep that in mind What I will advise is this 1.Have a doctor friend u see once in six months 2.If you have money, change ur business to a more convinient one that allow u to attend to people who come n go e.g. selling something 3.Dont be worrying about ur slowness.....who fastness help? 4.You are a successful young man, so stay productive 5.Be proactive and set goals for yourself like marriage goals, self improvement n savings or changing ur business 6.Still go back to ur barbing line, if u can't find another business to do......if u are good at barbing n u Barb it very well, people won't care whether u use 30 minutes. I know guy near me, he is not slow, but he does not mind, can take 30minutes to bad ur hair. So, bro. Accept urself n be comfortable in ur own skin. One thing u must learn not to do. I don't do it. And if anybody try it with me, he is in trouble. Never compare urself with anybody Never compare ur ability or talent with anybody Never compare ur weakness with anybody U are u Learn to confident in ur slowness, as long as u are productive, it is okay Anybody try to rush u, don't allow if I don't allow people to rush me I do things at my pace If you can't wait Leave If u HV money, set up ur own barbing salon n Barb people hair well I mean very well Those who like u will come Those who want quality will come You can't please everybody Please God n urself If you accept ur self m are confident in ur barbing talent, bro. Expand it And above all, pray for God blessing on ur life continuously, n to help u meet a good girl You are okay I dont remember my childhood like that I forget things easily but I don't let it worry me So if u are very worried, see a doctor.....he.may HV one or two ideas to help u improve ur memory But as for ur complain about intelligence n slowness, bro. You are okay, Love yourself for who u are. Have u heard the expression, slow n steady? People like u can be very reliable n trustworthy Don't judge urself with ur book abilities. Or how long it took.to learn barbing. U started it. U finished it. That's says more about u. 2 Likes |
