Are we supposed to feel this way?

Sorry for all these posts,
I feel I use half of my brain—one side. I feel one side of my brain is neglected—my brain is active on one side not on the other side. I’m using my right side but not my left side which is odd because my portion of the brain tests show I’m more a left-brainer than a right-brainer. It’s almost half and half but we humans don’t use all our brains. We use half of it, portions of it, rather, and we cannot think more or use it more than we should because it’s different. We are not perfect.

What I want to give out is that the brain portion I’m supposed to use isn’t working which is why I feel like I’m mentally handicapped or something, stuck in something I can’t get out of.

Update: When I want to think or use my brain, it doesn’t work, properly. Idk, I feel I’m supporting my head with something inside it—a big glob.

Wait, which brain portion do you feel unable to use?

@BlueVeins The left one—ability to think logically or analytically. I lack street smarts but get good marks (grades) at school.

@MangoMegalodon If you lacked the ability to think logically and analytically, wouldn't it be the other way around? I think street smarts is moreso social intelligence whereas school smarts is logical and analytical intelligence (as well as rote memorization).

@BlueVeins I’m not sure. You made a valid and great point. Brain tests say I’m left brained when I don’t know much about Math. I have no sense of creativity and need to try harder. In school, they gave me things to be creative with, but I failed and never gave real creativity—only thing I can do is draw and color (maybe nicely), that’s it.

But I know I lack something

Okay, there are some things you should know. One, that myth about using only a small percentage of our brains? Utterly false. It doesn't follow the rules of evolution nor is it observable in nature.

Two, no reputable brain test will indicate which side of your brain you use, because again, 'right and left brain' is mostly myth. Research shows the brain draws information relevant to a single thought from multiple areas of the entire brain. In other words, it's areas all work together to reach a common conclusion.

Rather than worry about what part of your brain is activated, maybe take a look at your lifestyle and create more time to exercise different aspects of yourself, whether it's artistic pursuit, academic study or an adrenaline rush. And if you're getting any of this information from the internet, don't.

You never know. Tomorrow may be different. I've been struggling with some similar issues but I refuse to give up and I try to improve upon myself every day :)

@SolGryn That’s good to never give up. Maybe you’ll come along and meet great people who will help you out. No matter what, always keep that brave face on you.
