Only a poorfag would make up their riches. It's like wearing a blinky blink Rolex because you're too poor to have the self-confidence to rock some non-obvious expansive item or even cheap shit.

And you now what makes it even more hilarious? How unbelievably butthurt and angry you get over other peoples private collections.

The Road To Wigan Pier:
>I habitually allowed myself, for instance, to be dressed and undressed by my Burmese boy. This was because he was a Burman and undisgusting; I could not have endured to let an English manservant handle me in that intimate manner. I felt towards a Burman almost as I felt towards a woman. Like most other races, the Burmese have a distinctive smell–I cannot describe it: it is a smell that makes one’s teeth tingle–but this smell never disgusted me. (Incidentally, Orientals say that we smell. The Chinese, I believe, say that a white man smells like a corpse. The Burmese say the same–though no Burman was ever rude enough to say so to me.) And in a way my attitude was defensible, for if one faces the fact one must admit that most Mongolians have much nicer bodies than most white men. Compare the firm-knit silken skin of the Burman, which does not wrinkle at all till he is past forty, and then merely withers up like a piece of dry leather, with the coarse-grained, flabby, sagging skin of the white man.
>The white man has lank ugly hair growing down his legs and the backs of his arms and in an ugly patch on his chest. The Burman has only a tuft or two of stiff black hair at the appropriate places; for the rest he is quite hairless and is usually beardless as well.

How do Formal Logic faggots feel about the fact that their entire stupid Word Chess bullshit is debunked by the fact that I can tell any of them they need to have sex and automatically win the argument despite this being objectively illogical?
>my face when a bunch of autistic STEM retards are going to respond to this flailing around trying to do mental gymnastics about why fucking is irrelevant and will make themselves look like desperate virgins who only learn stupid language game shit like logic to cope with the fact that they will never know what a vagina feels like

Assume the worst: that you're actually low IQ. Accept it and stop worrying about it. After all, if you've accepted that you indeed have a low IQ, what's there to worry about? You only worry when you think your perceived image of yourself might be worse than the reality of who you are. Assuming the worst eliminates this fear. Then, when you actually manage to do something cool or even outperform others you will be very pleasantly surprised, and when you are not as successful you will not be disparaged because that's natural for someone with a low IQ.
Realize that most people have a lot of insecurities like you do. That they're not pretty, that they're bad at talking to people, that they're low IQ. It's what often makes them easy to exploit. The exact same tactics that work on children: "Oh, you would be able to do this for me if you were smart enough. Oh all the cool kids do this thing" also work on adults, with minor adjustments of complexity. Eliminating your insecurities means you will no longer be susceptible to these tactics. "You can't do this? What are you, low IQ?", "Yes, your point being?". People will freak out and it will feel good.
Try to focus your attention outwardly to things rather than inwardly towards yourself. It's very easy to get caught in inner mental loops and waste a tremendous amount of time. When you find yourself in these situations try to something external, doesn't matter how simple. Make a meal, water the flowers, go for a walk, draw something. You will feel much better.
Take all of this with a grain of salt. This is simply what worked for me, it might not work for you.
Hope all the best for you anon!
