idk if this is just a me specific issue, but did anyone else play dumb for friendship? like acting as if you didnt know things so people would like you better. i did that for most of my teen years and now im struggling to figure out how to be myself
I used to do that because people thought it was funny, but then I was surrounded by so many people who genuinely thought I was stupid and treated me like a total idiot and that made me crazy anxious
