It's hard. I always knew I was different but I didn't know why until I was 14 when I took an IQ test and found out I had an IQ of 73. At first I was in denial but overtime I came to terms with my learning disabilities and started to understand what was wrong with me. It's affects you in a lot of ways. You learn slower than everyone else. Things that come easy for everyone else take you forever to get a grasp of and I get overwhelmed with information very easily.
It's held me down my whole life. It gives me a massive a inferiority complex and it limits my opportunities. I really wish I had a normal IQ like everyone else.
