On the positive side I never have to duck like my dh does.

But your problem has no solution, since it's not medically possible to increase one's height. It's not right to waste mental/emotional energy.

But for me it could be that I have something wrong in my brain that needs correcting, i need medication, or some kind of therapy to resolve it.

As for it being moronic, well who is say? Any problem that causes a person distress is never "moronic".

There is no magic pill to increase intelligence. Sorry but it is the same as my case. Just learn to live with it.

Because it is. You can treat illnesses of the brain that are caused by chemical imbalances like depression the same way you can treat diabetes. But you can not cure diabetes.

Hang around people who are trustworthy and who have successful relationships with others. Pay attention to what they do and say and you will absorb more of what you feel you need. We only learn how to interpret the world around us accurately by trial and error. In this way, you are no different than anyone.
