The Wound of Words
As a child you may have been told that you were unintelligent, by parents teachers friends society. Or maybe you were born with a disability that made you feel unintelligent – such as a lisp, speech impediment, learning disability or ADHD. Or you moved to a foreign country as a child and didn’t speak the language, so you felt like you weren’t on par. When we have this wound, it grows in our subconscious to become an insecurity around our intelligence or our ability to communicate properly. It makes us feel different because of how we think or talk. Or it might feel like you just can’t communicate the ideas in your head to others the way you want; it doesn’t make sense to others, or doesn’t sound the same to them as it does to you. One way this wound manifests, is the person feeling like they can’t fit in because of their communication or thinking, and so they put others on a pedestal. Those who they deem are more intelligent, more educated, or speak better, become their idols and they try to live up to them. For others, the wound makes them bitter toward anyone who they think is smarter than they are. These people may try to avoid any situation where they have to be intellectual or communicate, especially if the situation requires higher education.
Your superpower is that you’re more intelligent than most people. You think and communicate in a way that is superior to others, and it’s hard for them to catch up to you.
