is coping a sign of low iq?

[yhaposantana]

thinking abt it, coping may be a sign of low iq, if you are actively denying what’s true and creating false realities to make yourself feel better, it makes you stay at the same place if not worse so how would you get better at anything? the smartest people in the world earned that title because they kept on searching for more information and never thought it was enough, curiosity is what led to humans evolution so doing the opposite technically is technically devolving your brain and turn you into a mindless animal

Everyone copes, even those who you consider intelligent.

 

[yhaposantana]

you’re right to a certain extent, most people cope even the greats wheter it comes to athletes actors billionaires whatever, but the reason their great is because most of the time they were honest with themselves and realize they were capable of more and worked harder in order to reach their goal

yea fair enough, childhood trauma is severely under looked, people’s brain are so fucked from past events that it changes their way of thinking, it’s so sad, it happened to even me, i coped for so long but it took me years to realize what actually works and what doesn’t. but yes we should live a meaningful life, but also one shouldn’t think normal it’s enough, i believe every human should strive for greatness even if that isn’t their destiny

Depends on the type of cope
