The Emotional Misunderstandings I Have Repeatedly Experienced as Someone with Borderline Intelligence

For the past two weeks, something happened that
has left my heart feeling
very heavy.


I turned that frustration, and the
emotional misunderstandings I have
repeatedly experienced as someone with borderline intelligence,
into a short manga.

…………………………………………………😔

　Starting from not understanding　　
　　　　"Emotional misunderstandings"　

　　

………………♝

Everyone has things they don't understand.

Everyone has things they cannot do easily,
and I believe I understand that we all learn to do things little by little
while struggling and grappling with them.
I think I understand that.


Even so, I want to convey this

As someone with borderline intelligence,

there are things that seem easy to others

that I truly do not understand.

"I can't" does not mean


"I don't want to."


"I don't understand" does not mean


"I am not trying."


Just because you can do something

does not mean I can do it too.


Please,
I want you to know that there is a world
that I perceive as "not understanding."
………………♗

Even I
cannot explain
what I don't understand.


That is why I feel frustrated, and

the other person doesn't understand my feelings,
so they feel frustrated too.


That is where the "emotional misunderstanding"
begins.


And not being able to explain myself
well in words is also
one of the difficulties I face
as someone with borderline intelligence.
