You've heard of straight-passing, white-passing, let me introduce you to...
🌌smart-passing🌌
People just assume you're smart for totally unrelated reasons!
Do you fit into these categories?
you have glasses
you read in public
you chose a so called "prestigious" major
you chose a major that involves math beyond the four fundamental operations, chemistry or biology
you are polite to adults
you used to do above-than-the-average in school
you are shy
you don't even read books, you just buy them!
you dress in a way that your grandmother would approve
Congratulations! According to society you are smart!
Now all you have to do is convince yourself you are smart! Don't worry, the impostor syndrome is just a phase (we hope).
Please note: society does not take into consideration linguistic intelligence unless you can speak at least four languages (being European does not count, dead languages do not count), spatial intelligence, musical intelligence unless you're child prodigy, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, interpersonal intelligence (that's just called being a people person, buddy) or naturalistic intelligence. Society is not responsible for making you feel like an idiot.
