Ain’t that the absolute fuckin truth

I 100% get this! So true! I'd hate to calculate the hours I have spent giving audience to potential issues/problems that never even came to fruition.

why do I always find myself in a position where the only answer society gives me is "it's because you're more intelligent that most people, you're above the others.. I don't give a sh.. of being "above" I just want people think just a bit further.. just to forget themselves a bit and taking the risk of going against yourself by being true, real just want to find a way for humans to live together because what our society is doing seems full of good intentions, so why not going further and give everything to make a peacefull world were everyone is okay to question himself and listen what others has to say.. because I'll tell you one thing, what we call i telligent people is just people that are sensitive and want to be happy and give love. I am passionnate by.. all.. not everything but.. all, universe.. life and way further it's extremely difficult for me to write these messages because even in my head it isn't clear and I don't always necessarily know were I am going to.. and english isn't my native language. but everyday, with my wife, I feel, reconize myself, in these intelligent people things she lives cool and doesn't care about all the things that I do, if I am the sun, treating tons of info, emotions, thoughts, energy, I woulnd' tell you she pluto because she thinks, sometime a bit, for some things I would even compare here to saturn or jupiter but yeah in general we are speaking of a greyish white planet a bit boring in term of way to think, function, brain program.. 😂 like Uranus and sometimes falls to pluto state and may even fall into a moon.. but she has potential and I see that sometimes she goes further and I feel I helped her and she listened that may be the reason why I think we can make people think a bit further.. if we were able to make them more stupid decades after decades why couln't we make them more "intelligent" ? because most of the time it's simple things that are quite easy to process.. and that my wife and any other people who are clearly not like us, can understand and even take it for themselves.. like them appropriating it, and then even strating to learn how to think further.

Well, I have depression which includes being continuously bored and Im tired of it… so sometimes just tell people you don’t like the small talk and voice your opinions so they can change and all… I did a similar thing in the past and it led to depression as I just covered up my wounds leading to me being unconsciously being hurt… so overall, don’t leave them confused when they see you walk away, they might think it’s a 1-sided relationship/friendship and cut off ties with you.

I have always experienced this. I understand it clearly now but have not always done so. I think there is another side of this "alienation" coin though. When in social situations, and whether I decide to dumb down (I usually do) or not I usually find people drifting away from me. However I know I am not essentially socially inept or unlikeable. I know this because when not in situations that are "officially" social, such as at work, or maybe in mundane situations like getting my hair cut, people are the opposite. I am well liked and I attract people. All of this perplexes me. I don't think it is me though (as such). I think what happens is that people become much more judgemental, as well as more instinctive, when socialising. Most can actually work out your inner discomfort and don't want to be adding to it, or be participating in it. I have no solutions. I just try to restrict my life to small groups or one on one encounters, where I am much more at ease and successful. The trouble is that this often leads to invitations to social gatherings where you end up going through the whole thing again...

You are probably arrogant.

story of my life bro, to a T!

I could write a book about the dangerous and sad lack of basic common sense and pitifully low shreds of intelligence I've been unfortunate to witness first hand from so many people in so many different ways: for example, I met a whole family of 5 who stood there smiling and telling me the story of a dangerous kitten they had to bring to the vet and have it put down because it attacked the dad and scratched him all over on his face. Then they casually mentioned they had it in an enclosed cardboard box and when they finally opened the box, the tiny beast savagely attacked him. They had no clue whatsoever that the poor kitten had a claustrophobic panic attack being trapped inside a dark, stuffy, hot box for who knows how long, which also sounds like there were no air vents in the box anywhere. People who can't connect the dots just make my head explode,......and they're everywhere

The BEST I’ve heard!!! With ME, I’m NOT very smart, BUT have the ability to understand things smart people don’t ~~~~ never considered that intelligent… I’ve learned not to worry or be overly concerned about these matters! I find amusing SMART people and those of intelligence, BECAUSE they worry about what others think, I’m now 70… took awhile for me to come to grips with the way I am SO now, I enjoy ME AND watching others🤷🏽‍♀️ An amusing species, humankind!!!

It’s not gone, you just learned to deal with it. I am 61 also. I have many “crutches” to give myself some space. Many of these developed organically over time, others were realizations that happened quickly. I don’t believe I’m particularly intelligent but I have been around some who are and some who were not. 1-I still overanalyze those I believe are smart and do my best to be nice with those who aren’t. 2-Most of my life I’ve had trouble decision making, often feeling I didn’t have enough information but now I make decisions much more quickly. If for example, if I’m driving somewhere and I’m considering which route to take I will decide at the first traffic signal, choosing the green if I’m in a rush and the red if I’m not in a hurry. The hard part is accepting the decision and not spending anymore time thinking about it after it is made. I use “if this/ then I’ll do that” uncountable times to get through my day. 3- I rely on my wife for some things. She is on my smart list, not for technical stuff so-much but “people stuff”. I often ask her what someone meant or what she thinks the reason for someone’s actions are. I have learned to accept her thoughts on such things, she has proven herself to me as exceptionally insightful and has a nice, caring bias if things are unclear at all. I have also learned a great deal from her examples. 4- along similar lines, work used to be maddening, almost unbearable even. I’m in a technical field (aviation) and natural progression moves you to a position of leadership after a few decades of doing the job. I preferred to work out of a tool box over managing tasks, people and priorities. But making a conscious effort to delegate tasks, accept decisions of those on my crew (whenever possible) and most importantly back them up when things go wrong has been eye opening therapy for me. 5- counting things. This was a hobby, a passion for me for many years. Walk into a room I’ve never been in, count the ceiling tiles on the short wall, fold that over to the long side add the remainder and multiply for a total, then chairs, tables, people, windows go back to the ceiling for a double check, actually count the long wall to verify my answer was correct. One day a child at the dentists office asked me what I was looking at and it dawned on me I was craning my neck around to get my count done. I was embarrassed in front of the child! I’ve worked pretty hard to give up this “habit” or obsession or whatever it is and I’ve done pretty well. Not doing it automatically was the hard part, I had to consciously STOP. There are more things but I realize this post is getting long so I will stop here. I suspect that like me, you have just learned to deal with things and accepted that you don’t have to do or be responsible for everything. And learned to appreciate the value and meaning of a true smile.

Spend some time each day acting like an idiot.

I'm 56 and beginning to find peace with myself too. I am what I am, I've changed as much about myself as I want to or can, and I'm ok with the rest.

Thanks for taking the time to write your comment. I always feel a satisfaction when someone puts in words something that's already with me.

Perfectionist doesn't necessarily mean that you look "perfect", it simply means that you have to do things in most effective way. For example, I find it very annoying when people pack things in a bag in wrong way, like they just chaotically throw stuff in it. Or something as simple as how people connect cables to their computer, leaving wires hanging on their own weight ... it hurts my eyes. I always tape my cables so they dont hang from their own weight and this is why in my entire life, i have never had a broken cable .. while lot of people i talk to, they constantly break their headset cables, USB ports ..etc ..etc .. and all that is because they don't have intelligence to understand how basic physics work. So basically what i'm saying, is that perfection can look chaotic to low IQ people and they never understand the real meaning of perfection. Intelligent people also pay less attention to looks and more attention to the effectiveness of things.
