Do you feel smart after watching this video? Have we succeeded in elevating your ego? ;) Everyone is smart in their own ways, and we want you to know that.

According to this video, there are two types of people: 1) You're intelligent 2) You're healthy

"Please do not use this to self-diagnose" Viewers: *Imma pretend I didn't hear that*

Bc I haven't found the timestamps yet I'mma make my own so here y'all go: 0:57 - Psychological problems 1:54 - Night owls 2:52 - High expectations 3:38 - Overexcitable & high energy 4:48 - Overanalyzing things 5:52 - Can become super stressed 6:50 - Outro

"They have high expectations" is so true. Teachers keep saying im smart, but when i get a low grade and everyone is surprised, it just makes me crash and burn and it ruins my self esteem

when you come here to see if you’re smart:

6 problems only smart people has me: *laughs in dumb*

People: *You're an night owl* Me: *No, it's about that time when people are N O T disturbing you so you can manage on your own and focus more*

7. No one who understands you. 8. Being judged for over-doing your work. 9. Called lazy. 10. Getting bullied/ picked at. These are the problems I face at school being smart and yes, I have all of these over my life... I'd really appreciate it if you added these points too. Thank you Psych2Go!

POV: you're wondering if you're smart or just an anxious overthinking hamster with a bad sleep schedule

I’m insecure about my intelligence, I’m worried that I’m stupid.

I believe that while traditional IQ is an important measure of intelligence, you need to have understanding and wisdom as well. Intelligence without the ability to truly grasp it would be a curse.

We could say that I "was" smart. Back in my childhood (including middle school period) I was always stressed and anxious going to school. Even though I had really high marks, and it satisfied me, this happiness was too little compared to what I had gone through everytime (FYI: I was almost always suffering from fatigue, mostly because I'm introverted and y'know...) on top of that, I had really high expectations from my parents, which destroyed me psychologically because they always checked on me. I didn't know what I really wanted, until the first year of high school I finally knew that I wanted peace, that's why I stopped being the "smartest one" and I can't be prouder to say that. My parents for some miracle stopped to analyze what I did everytime so I was as fresh as ice: I went to school happily almost everyday (except tests but that's obvious, nothing wrong here 😂) and I mainly focused on tighting some friendships (even with teachers) and aimed at becoming a better person, that's when I was finally proud of myself. Yeah, I wasn't the smartest, but I was an educated and happy fella, probably the best feeling I ever felt (and still feel today). I'm still in high school, fourth year, still have to fight some obstacles, but I feel like nothing can stop me. I felt like sharing this here so there you go, it also made me feel better somehow

Worst part about being “gifted” is the pressure. If you do bad nobody can accept that you are struggling they think you are being lazy.

"Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." -Albert Einstein

this definitely is me, one time in sixth grade i cried because i was so stressed over a project that had to be done in a few days, i worked for about 2-3 hours and then wrote seven paragraphs thinking it had to be perfect and then the next day when we shared our progress i realized everyone else who shared wrote a paragraph each

I can safely admit here, that I find quarantine to be a HUGE blessing that has given me weeks, months and even years of peace and tranquility I never believed I would experience. My deepest sympathies to those of you who have lost loved ones. After seventy years that included hundreds of dreadfully painful days, trying my best to "fit in and enjoy" family gatherings (holidays being the worst), Covid, in all it's forms, has given me the one impenetrable excuse, with absolutely no guilt or judgement, to say "no" and stay home. Yes, I'm a Mensan. And, yes....I am occasionally lonely. It quickly passes.

Other problems: -being misunderstood -being called lazy -discussions with people who always want to be right

Everybody gangsta till your own intelligence turns against you

in the part about developing psychological disorders, yes, people who are smart often have ADHD or ASD, but that is not caused/developed because of them being smart. you’re born with ASD, it means that our brains literally work differently. I know this is mainly a wording issue, but had to say this. (also if I’m wrong please correct me! this is just to the best of my knowledge)

This is totally relatable for me I’m tired of getting moody all the time and overthinking and anxiety.Sometimes I get really passionate about my dreams and goals,and sometimes I’m just like….hmm no

people always told me I was smart and that i was so lucky but literally im the laziest person, and on top of that, a procrastinator. LOL

Here are the problems: •They often suffer from psychological disorders •They are night owls •They have high expectations •They overanalyze things •They can become super stressed •Overexcitable problems edit:*thx for all the likes lol i never had so much*

Recently my grades have been dropping a little and I noticed how I felt like a failure for having an 84 in science. This video helped me realize that I need to destress and focus on what is important.

I was labeled as “gifted” in school and have an IQ of at least 149, which was the lowest I was tested. It started after I would frequently get in trouble at school for interrupting lessons too much combined with often not paying attention. It wasn’t so bad until high school where I become much more intently focused on my social shortcomings. I became obsessed over finding friends I could form close bonds with, but failed to seem to fit in to connect with anyone in a genuine way. I could get along with anyone by mimicking social norms, but always felt lonely. Plagued by that as well as an obsession of the meaning of life I became hopeless. I didn’t know it at the time but I had a major depressive disorder that wasn’t diagnosed until my adulthood as well as social anxiety. What made things so much worse is that during this time of existential rumination I stopped putting any effort in school above the minimum required to not fail classes. My parents, which alway though me so smart, responded with unkind words, restrictions, and other behavior that made me just reject life entirely. I developed a drug habit as they had such a profound effect in bringing back my motivation which only alienated me more from my family. Life as an adult work has been trying as well. I pursued early childhood education and work with parents under the principles that would have helped me as a child. I am successful but constantly find friction with co-workers over my obsessive and over analytical nature. While they simply want to maintain the job status quo and keep the same effectiveness over time to lower job difficulty, I only want to make constant improvements and always strive to create even more work than is necessary. I chase a perfection (perfection that is unattainable, I know) but this frustrates my employers and coworkers. My life hasn’t improved much but I can cope much better than in my adolescence. I am of course a night owl as well and don’t seem to tire but I don’t find this aspect of my personality that trying. I hope to continue to help parents to approach their children with a mindset of nurturing. More than anything we need to know we are loved no matter the results of our tests or whether we go to a high level university. Our personality and effort need be celebrated while avoiding labels such as “smart” or “talented”, which can be a burden one feels for life.

"Problems only smart people have" Self hate: *activate*

7. Loner 8. Perfectionist 9. Selective 10. Easily gets bored

I relate to all except the first one. I am glad that someone discussed these problems. Thank you for the insight!

Your voice is calming and beautiful💛 I understand every single word you say 💙

"please don't self diagnose" goes to a therapist: "I-I think I might be smart..." Edit: I was never expecting this much likes holyshit

"hey can u help me" "Hey can u teach me this" " Ur showing off" "We aren't friends u can't help me" "U don't even needa study" " Teachers pet" " U think ur perfect" "U just want attention" "I expected more from you" I literally feel Soo lonely since people only talk to me when they want help:(

I really like your content ~this vid ticks all the boxes. I wasn't aware of some of the insights here. It hasn't really elevated my ego, but it has made me feel more comfortable with myself. Thank you.

As someone with an IQ of 131 I can vouch for nearly everything said in this video only 2 doesn’t apply to me. Also I am very lucky to be surrounded by people who understand those ‘overexitabilities’ and really don’t mind when they occur. Also I get frustrated quite easily which is linked to the huge amounts of stress. Also I don’t know if this is related to my intelligence but I have also had trembling fingers my entire life.

"Being a night owl" 90% of teen-agers are smart conformed

It's a gift and a curse to have a high intellect and high intelligence

I had and still have problems with how much I talk. I never thought of it as being linked to my mental capabilities. That enlightens a few things. Thanks for this video.

This Is so spot on especially the high expectations one. They all fall into each other and combine to form this total stressed out life. The accuracy in this video is actually unbelievable

Psych2Go: "This is not a scale for rating intellegence." Everyone in the comments: "Well, looks like I am smart."

Overthinking is a curse guys, sometimes i just want to cut my head off. Update: WOW , i´m so happy to see people talking with each other in the comments. i wish the best for everyone, be safe guys. Thank you.

1. Not necessarily sensitive to diseases. 2. Yes, I'm a night owl. 3. Yes, extremely high expectations, but I set those same expectations for the people around me as well. 4. Yes I am always hyperfocused on little things meaning I miss 80% of what goes on around me. 5. Yes I over analyze things because I can't work with surface level information.. It frustrates me. 6. No I don't get stressed because I talk to myself 24/7 and I take lots of time isolating myself from people. I don't think I'm smart. I just grew to become a disciplined perfectionist because I've always had to do everything on my own, even as a child. So anything less than perfect is not going to cut it, because if I don't do it no one will. This is why I took entire group projects on alone and let the other team mates enjoy the ride. Anything less than my own standards isn't good enough. It even made me arrogant and selfish. But if there's no one to have your back, it's simply necessary. You could argue only an intelligent person could handle that kind of responsibility but I hate to differentiate between "smart" and "not smart". It's all in how much you care.

This post just solidified what I already thought... Thank you for validating my life with Truth☮️💚🕯

One of my professors once said: smart people struggle with motivation/procrastination because they never had to struggle much initially. Unlike people who have to learn how to overcome struggles, we are not taught how when life eventually gets hard. It can be especially hard to ask for help when people see you, or you perceive yourself, as the smart one who should have the answers.

Before watching the video: "I'm stupid" After watching the video: "I'm exactly stupid"

I am a teacher of Gifted children. I am also Gifted. These are spit on in what I see in myself and in so many of my students.

Worthwhile creation - and thanks a lot! - but that beautiful voice... it sounds like a machine!

And everyone in the comments suddenly has 300 IQ

Me: Wanna hear a joke? My brother: Yes. Me: 6 problems only smart people have My brother: I don't get it. Me; Exactly.

I Recently scored 81/100 on a test and started having this feeling of disappointment and that's when I knew something was very wrong with me, at the same time my sleep schedule was getting worse and worse every day. I'm relieved to have stumbled upon this video and am now more aware of why I act as I do in some situations. Will be working to fix my sleep schedule one day. And ofc tysm for the vid! Also, love the references :)

Totally related🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for this video！ You let me know why I suffered and somehow give me the direction to deal with those problems and complex thoughts in my life and my head😚 Hope everyone feels better and better after watching this video！

Another problem smart kids run into: having such an easy time in school they arrive in high school, or even college, without having developed any study skills at all.

"Smart people tent to have psycological disorders" Guess I'm the new Albert Einstein

Math help me a lot when over analysing things my teacher said “simplify dont over complicate things” and I thank her for that advice

The worrying part with videos referring to "smart people", is that actually intelligent individuals (given that "intelligence" is extremely difficult to define by itself), should not really define themselves as "smart" anyway... Socrates said the phrase "Εν οίδα ότι ουδέν οίδα" which I think from time to time, and it translates as "the only thing I know is that I know nothing". The essence of this phrase gets down to: When you get to a high enough level of understanding of the world, you realize how little you really know (and probably will know till the end of your life). That realization really humbles you, and in my book actually directly contrasts with self-identifing as "smart". And I do get that knowledge and intelligence are two different things, but necessarily directly correlate with each other.

*1. They often suffer from psychological disorders* LET'S GOOOOO

1:00 : they often suffer from psychological disorders 1:55 : they are night owls 2:53: they have high expectations 3:40 : they are overexcitable and can have high energy 4:50 : they overanalyze things 5:53 : they can become super stressed you’re welcome ^^

I love the way she narrates, its so calming and soothing

i love those flowers on the head in your videos, they are too cute!

Fun fact: Most people are smart! They just dont know how to use their intelegence

TO EVERY FELLOW TEENAGER WATCHING THIS: No. Just because you’re depressed, have a crappy sleep schedule, ADHD, overanalyze, and often get overly passionate about things, doesn’t mean you’re intelligent. You’re a teenager. We’re all idiots.

Really interesting and insightful, thank you :)

Being smart is a curse and whoever breaks it will be successful

When u have none of the problems: *I’ve won..but at what cost..?*

Me, having anxiety: sMoRt.

In my opinion the biggest problem smart people have is the easily overwhelming expectations of other people, it will never be good enough and people always expect more and more because you’re intelligent

ive watched all of these kinds of videos and i'm suprised to see that i relate to all of it- although i don't even consider myself smart.

"Can you do my homework?" "You're smart why can't you just tell me" "You're just showing off!" "We're not friends anymore, you make look like a fool" More importantly being immediately judged by making a tiny mistake/ you had a bad grade and teachers forcing you to join contests you don't even like.

No one : litteraly all the viewers : *became suddenly smart af*

immensely soothing listening to this voice. Sharon den Adel of psychology.

for me, kind of with the first, right on the dot with two, three, four, and five, and with number 6 describing my every day, i could not belive how similar this video resembles things i deal with every day. thanks! y’all just earned a subscribe!

Find yourself a boyfriend like Psych2go who calls you smart

"don't self diagnose", continues to speak in reference with 'you' instead of 'they'

Have watched many videos like this , but interesting this is the first one that mentions being a night owl. My natural rhythm when I can freecycle has always been to work at night (I'm a writer), sleep in the morning, then do social stuff/chores afternoon and early evening before settling in to work at night. Have always preferred night since the world is much quieter when everyone else is asleep. Easier to get around town and go shopping after dark as well.

Your videos are so entertaining!

Everyone here is on a narcissistic trip rn

"The problem with being faster than light, is that you can only live in darkness"

People tend to confuse eloquence and intellegence. It's one thing to appear smart but beeing smart is another story.

I was told as kid that I was smart and that led to me seeing if i could pass without studying too much. When I started studying for competitive exams, I had to take and extra year just to get into the habit of studying. Moral of the story, Don't tell kids that they are smart.

Theres a difference between being smart, and scoring better - Prince EA

I once saw a quote saying "Did you know that the smarter you get the sadder you are because you understand things that you don't even want to know?" and i felt it because i started to wonder about my existence why do I exist or why does the world exists.. I even questioned myself if god does exists.. after that i had mental a breakdown i started to cry without any reason ...

As much I'm a child, I seriously experienced this before. I tend to think a lot and over analysis everything, and have high expectations for myself. Its not fun to ponder on a idea so long or you might get very negative about it. Its basically torturing yourself with ideas you shouldn't think long and hard of. Every time I do something in a certain way or someone does, I will think and the end less ideas what it could possibly means even a emotion. Stress is a another thing, and OE's. I didn't realized I have OE's due to being labeled 'problematic.' Stress is way high on my list because I stress on so many things that exist and other that don't exist. To a point I started getting white hair. I have high expectations due to being praised as a kid for having the best scores on tests, spelling bees, projects, and etc. Now as a middle schooler, its hard because I need it so everyone knows I'm still the smart kid as before. Everytime, I see a bad grade on my report cards I just scolded myself for having that even its a B+ (its not fun) As a smart person, just try to do things on your own pace. If you didn't exceeded at the first time it means your not there yet but you have more to learn. Try to be organized as much as possible. Study's test & gets notes and ask questions! Don't be so hard on yourself for having a C's or D's even a B's because we are learning and we tried. What Im telling you is that just don't be so hard on yourself for having a bad grade. Just have fun and do your best.

I’ve always had issues with the saying “knowledge is power” because, although it is true in a way, it makes people forget it is also an incredible struggle.

Me: An idiot Also me: watching problems of smart people

I'm one of the students who always got good grades in class but It always makes me feel ashamed when they ask me for answer that I don't know. Just because I have good grades doesn't mean I always know the answer. I'm also not your cheat sheet THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Thank you for validating me

1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes 4. I generally have high energy but never exited 5. Yes 6. I don't get stressed, so no I blame my depression for my answers on 4 and 6 BC I don't really feel much emotion since I was diagnosed.

Can we just talk about how soothing her voice is?

Criteria for being a genius: 1. Psychological disorders 2. Nocturnal proclivities 3. High expectations 4. Overexcitability and high energy levels 5. Overanalysis 6. High-stress levels

Your voice is so pleasent ❤️.....

Ok but ur voice is so calming

I hate it when people call me "gifted" or "talented" I consider it more as an insult. They make it look like I'm lucky that I'm smart but the reality is they never knew what I've been through to reach the top.

The worst part is when you struggle and people don’t believe you or think you can do anything because you’re smart, like, I can’t do 5 things at the same time!

i see the Barnum Effect is being applied very well in this situation.

Kudos to University Kebangsaan Makaysia for the outstanding achievement. ❤

What this should be called: Why being smart sucks XD

Me: expresses concern about my future studies and career Them: "you're smart, you'll make it" Me: *well tHANK YOU JANET, DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT*

Calm voice over + educative material = bliss

THE ANIMATION STYLE IS SO CUTEE🥹🫶🫶

“hey what’s the answer to this question?” “can you help me with my homework?” “Jeez, chill out, why are you so worried about you’re grades?” “Can you just shut up, we know you’re smart” “So even a smart person can make a mistake” “

people coming here desperately trying to relate: o mY gOSh sO trUE

I get all of them. But also, aren't smart people developing some kind of barriers to prevent this problems form happening? (except the mental illness ones) I mean... smart people don't want to feel stressed about everything, so they create psychological barriers that control their emotions when that time comes again.
