my lover is a very high iq person (140) and he’s so awesome and yea has a lot of knowlegde about a lot of things, but recently i took an iq test and i got 85, it sucks, i told him that i hope that does not affect any aspect of our relationship!! and i’m not going to sugar code it but honestly i think that difference does cause a bit of trouble in our relationship because i am aware that my low iq may cause problems or it could make him feel annoyed/bothered!! what can i do to improve that?? i love him so much and i don’t want him to feel like i don’t understand him, sometiems i don’t a lot but, i always understand the general idea of the stuff he likes and i’m always seeking out more knowledge from him and the wider internet. thank you!!!
edit: i’ve always thought i was 100 or 150+ iq because i am interested in open source software, linux, foss, gnu, the fediverse, and reading, etc!! programming too
It’s their fifth most recent post, from three days ago. I found it by just looking at the community and searching IQ. It was on page 2 for me.
Also, what do you even mean doxxing them? Nobody said anything about posting their real name and address.
I meant the other, different user, by username.
Mentioning a user isn’t doxxing, they literally picked that username to use publicly. Doxxing is leaking personally identifying information, like their real name, home address, phone number, workplace, etc.
Maybe, but it would be like pointing out “Hey, this user has low IQ too”.
Don’t know what else to call that, unnecessarily adding someone to such information elsewhere than originally mentioned.
I guess? You could instead link the post, that doesn’t ping anyone and offers contextual information to other commenters since it was directly asked. If OP wanted to keep it private so that no one would know, they probably wouldn’t have posted it on the public internet.
But it’s kind of quaint/endearing that you wanted to protect their “privacy,” though. Not a bad attitude at all, it’s just not common practice since people don’t tend to accidentally make posts about things they want to keep secret.
