#9 - You invent new words like suineg and tell people it means genius in some obscure language you learned during a Top Hat Seminar you attended seven years ago while traveling through Asia searching for your life's purpose (which happens to be finding paid subscribers on Substack).
This is proof I'm gonna be a bestselling world-famous guy this time next year I check off all of these! Wait it means I'll be paid peanuts like Howard was, dammit!
I always knew I was a misunderstood genius, I just never realized that there were others like me. This brings me great relief to know that I am not alone. However, I do feel a little bit less misunderstood and therefore a little less special and may be required to eliminate all others like me. I'm sure you'll see it coming though and understand the bigger picture.
This caught my attention because I'm a Time-Traveller. I was very intrigued by number 1 on your list. But then I realised this is all tongue in cheek, which is fine. It was an amusing article and I'm glad I read it.
I do invent new words from time to time, including portmanteau profanities which I introduce convincingly as being a cultural holdover from my exotic youth. But my issue seems to be that I am entirely all too well understood, due to oversharing vast swathes of my life and opinions, and yet people tend to prefer to believe I'm joking and rarely heed the warnings.

Jk, anyways good list haha.
But did your grandma ALSO make you the world's best cinnamon buns and send you home with homemade dill pickles? That is the true measure of genius.

I've never misunderstood myself, I am a genius

What happens if you are a somewhat understood genius? Is there a way to become more misunderstood?
I tried to tip you twice, but I don't think it went through. Did it?
