i'm pretty socially retarded and have a lack of empathy after my childhood and years working in an er. as stated earlier itt, my iq is apparently 142 (expat, not peruivan) but i always feel retarded and i suppose i'd be the first to admit i don't have this emotional intelligence. if such a skill gave me a higher degree of peace and joy, i'd be happy to obtain it. in regards to the fake or genuine smile comment you make, i guess it's not that i can't notice if the smile is real or not, it's more that i just don't care . if i ask someone how are they doing today, and they said i'm good with a half ass smile, i'll reply 'nice', because me too dude, i'm good too, just like you, i'm good too  > pic related
