why the fuck does everyone keep putting me down because i don't know something 90% of other people know?

Mildly Annoyed :snoo_facepalm:

very often, i get someone online AND IRL talking about something like a car component, or something like name 5 countries in fucking africa, or something like that in a fair context, where the questions make sense to ask. its not just questions out of the blue. but whenever i dont know how to answer, or im just plain confused, i'm always called a himbo, or indirectly being called stupid, because supposedly it's "common knowledge."

and i just wanna say...CAN NORMALISE NOT KNOWING SOMETHING? I MEAN COME ONNN BRO. WTF IS THE BIG BEN??? WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW THE BIG BEN??? AM I EVER GONNA SEE THE BIG FUCKING BEN? NO. WHO EVEN THE FUCK IS BEN????? OH, IT'S A CLOCK??? THANKS FOR TELLING ME! I DIDN'T CARE, UNTIL YOU STARTED MOCKING ME FOR NOT KNOWING IT. BIG BEN ISNT GONNA FUCKING SAVE YOUR LIFE, YOU KNOW.

AND THEN SOME OTHER ASSHOLE WHEN I MENTION THE "CLOCK" IMMEDIATELY CALLS ME OUT MAKING ME FEEL STUPID AGAIN BY SAYING: "heh...that's...actually a BELL, you dumb fuck! xD" ARE WE DEADASS?

i mean SERIOUSLY, WHY CAN'T I BE UNKNOWLEDGEABLE IN PEACE???? OH, DID YOU HEAR ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH [insert yadda yadda politics stuff] NO DUDE. I DON'T FUCKING LIKE POLITICS. I DON'T KNOW HALF OF IT, AND I WANT IT TO STAY THAT WAY. ITS NOT GONNA HELP ME PASS MY CLASSES, ITS NOT GONNA HELP ME BE A BETTER PERSON, AND ITS NOT GONNA HELP ME LIVE.

i mean, maybe i'm just neurodivergent(i have been considering getting checked for ADHD for a while😭) because i don't get why EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THESE THINGS SO CLEARLY, AND I DON'T. when i see a car, i think "oh yeah, that's gonna get someone from point A to point B!" simple!

NOT: "OHHH YEAH, LOOK AT THE RIMS ON THAT BAD BOY!!! LOOK AT THE LIFT ON THAT TRUCK MAN!!! [INSERT WEIRDLY SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT A CAR EVERYONE SEEMS TO KNOW SOMEHOW]" WHEN I HEAR POLITICS, I THINK: "president, republicans, democrats, obama, or something." NOT WHATEVER THE FUCK EVERYONE ELSE HAS GOING ON. I MEAN, WHO CARES??? TRUMP ISNT GONNA CRACK YOU BRO. MY BAD FOR NOT KNOWING THE NAME OF EVERY PRESIDENT, EVEN IF I AM AMERICAN.

and that also leads to addressing how EVERYONE seems to fucking LOVE putting people down, JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE AMERICAN? NOT ALL AMERICANS ARE BRAINDEAD BRO. THERE'S SOME DUMB ASS PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. THE LOWEST IQ AVERAGE IS LOCATED IN SOUTH ASIA AND FUCKING AFRICA.

im sorry to anyone affilated with those continents/regions...i mean no harm...

but seriously, this is the reason why i can't help but hate speaking to people, or even interacting with people. i cant have a simple convo at school without either someone bringing up a stupidly complicated topic, or someone just being completely awkward and braindead. its so annoying. i literally dont have any friends because of this(and other factors obviously), when i'm literally almost done with highschool. people fucking suck, men, women, other genders, everyone fucking equally sucks, and i hate how much i get put down because of everyone's high expectations for me.
