Pretty much every time I’ve encountered someone who thought they were stupid it was actually one or more of
* tiredness
* fear/anxiety
* genuinely difficult problems
* executive dysfunction
* lack of information
* lack of practice
* lack of training / poor training (topic experts are often not teaching experts)
* negative preconceptions about themself becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy
* time pressure
I’m pretty skeptical “stupid” is actually a thing
