Yes. I honestly thought that when I joined and went to a meeting, the meeting would be like a group of super genious people trying to solve world problems. I figured I could learn a thing or two or be part of something bigger. Maybe have some people help me figure out how to build a faster car with science and stuff, how to get better fuel mileage, how to make copius amounts of cash, etc. EEEEENNNNN! It was mostly a display of d-baggery. I was really dissappointed. So I stopped going.
I sucked at school too. I grew up in an atmosphere of continuous nagging that I was an idiot, and I believed it. I was an athlete. No plans of going to college, my money would be made playing hockey. It worked for awhile, til I got hit by a car! You could imagine the life change right? Anyways, I went to school without a clue. It turned out ok. I think the mensa thing was something I had to do to prove myself. It's not something I did to waive around in peoples faces and say "I'm smarter than you!" I was really proud of myself and it boosted my confidence, because not too many other people were. So R socey, don't be so hard on yourself. What would you rather be, a guy on this forum that guys like me go to for REAL advice and expertise, or in mensa? The guy I raced for was a high school drop out that made millions on bottling water that came out of a bunch of rocks in his back yard.
Hind sight is 20/20 - life is about choices. I've made some terrible ones so I causion you about taking my advise. There are many here that give great advise though; selflessly!
