Weird, any idea where this originated? I know many perform business (which is imo unrelated to actual amount of workload), but not participating in that should be a good thing...

In part because they didn't pay attention, in part because I'm very independent and focused, and don't seek advice when I don't feel I need it. They told me I could work as I please, so I did. That often meant their hidden expectations weren't met.

I simply worked differently, not less.

The only adviser I feel really got me was my very senior PhD adviser, who had weekly informal, enjoyable conversations with me and understood why I was doing what and when. A real mentor.

So my advisors were great. But they didn't have everything that I needed. But it was somehow through them that I found the other mentors

I wish I had looked out for mentors. That's definitely a mistake I made.

Same, or I wished I had started earlier. Like in highschool (I don't mean academically, but just adults I could ask for advice)

In my experience/opinion, the whole "smart but lazy" thing correlates strongly with neurodiversity. Of course, no idea what the causes are in your case
@DennisEckmeier but my idea can generalise, I think, as like you say any difference can be perceived as laziness.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

I don't think I was perceived as lazy AFAIK but I know I had really serious trouble keeping up with others who had been better trained than me (especially at the learning to learn skillset) at quite a few stages, something that, e.g., could be seen as "not trying hard enough".

After undergrad things changed and I had much better skills, but I do wish I had them taught to me from high-school like a lot of UK kids had. I can totally see somebody who thought I was British-educated could have thought I was crap back then.

During my undergrad is probably the period in my life I was told I was "stupid" (literally that word or just "women aren't as good at men at maths/compsci/programming") the most. Probably about once a week by another person on the same course, which was 90% men.

I never believed it, but I did become convinced compsci was not a healthy environment for me. And I think that has to be taken into account when women (or anybody) leaves via a leaky pipeline. They are often making the right decision for them given toxic environment.
