8 Struggles of Being a Highly Intelligent Person
Intelligent people are gifted at analyzing concepts and building upon them to form a better understanding of the world and those around them, how everything is connected, and why things are the way they are. A Highly Intelligent Person often has remarkably high IQs, academic achievements, and go on to become successful leaders and trailblazers in their fields. However, they are faced with certain problems and challenges that only they can relate to. Having said that, here are 8 struggles only highly intelligent people will understand.

Biggest struggle: *answering whether I am actually highly intelligent or just a smug idiot*
😂😂😂
OKeily tbh I think I might be both
@Marisol M WARNING: [Please if you prefer understanding what I said and making sure your not misinterpreting what I said please read the entire comment or read it twice to make sure. Since this is a pretty long comment.] Or it means the person has self doubt because they are self aware of their lack of intellect. Or it's the other way around since just, because ones intelligent doesn't mean they are good at self awareness. If one doubts their intellect it's, because they know their intellectual flaws so they assume they aren't that intelligent. If one lacks self awareness, but is intelligent they may doubt their intellect, because they don't want to make assumptions about themselves when they don't know much about themselves. After all most intelligent people tend to do to much learning about THINGS rather than PEOPLE. So they might not be that self aware about themselves. Since weirdly enough learning more about others helps one learn more about themselves. So if you don't do enough socialising you won't understand yourself that well. Unless you do constant self reflection, which I am not 100% sure that would always work out for a person. Since you need more than self reflection to help understand yourself. Since you need to be able to look at other perspectives to further your understanding of yourself. Therefore you still need social interaction. Since most intelligent people are introverted or socially awkward this generally causes problems with the person's self awareness. Though this is not taking into account other things that might be able to by pass all that. Another thing to consider is that this video lists traits that MOST intelligent people have. Their is bound to be abnormality. Like extravert geniuses do exist. There is also the fact that plenty of people have these traits that are listed in the video, but are not geniuses. Most geniuses are introverts, but most introverts are not geniuses.
I always just say, I am just smart enough to realize there is no good way to answer that question.
@Marisol M This is not true. Highly intelligent people rarely lack confidence in their general intelligence, instead they lack confidence in any specific opinion. Understanding that hidden facets of a construct can radically change ones understanding and opinion. Highly intelligent people see and and understand that that any equation which represents a real life phenomenon is going to be immensely complex making high levels of confidence in any specific model irrational.
I guess i’m smart enough to know that i’m not highly intelligent.
humble brag
I know nothing- Socrates
Based on what the Dunning Kruger experiment results tell us that means you are probably one of the smart ones. ;)
There are different fields of "highly intelligent". If the IQ is not for you, try the EQ - Emotional Intelligence Quotient. It's more rewarding, anyway. And if that's not for you, you'll find something. Or you create something. Your choice.
23kgoat lol i feel that
Struggle #1: Constantly wondering whether you’re really highly intelligent or if you’re just falling victim to the Dunning-Kruger effect
Struggle #2: having accepted that you're highly intelligent, and STILL wondereing if you're falling victim to the Dunning-Kruger effect...
One problem with being a highly intelligent person is everyone asks you for advice and asks you questions and when you have to tell them that you don’t know, they’re always surprised that you don’t know things It’s also difficult being intelligent with a very fast brain because you have to get your ideas out fast or you’ll lose them so you don’t have time for things like punctuation or correct grammar sometimes And some people will only look at grammar and punctuation in judge that as a sign of intelligence, but ignore the massive of paragraph I wrote that’s one thing I’ve learned a lot from Reddit people will ignore your entire point just to call you out on your grammar
Highly intelligent people do not know all the answers, actually IMO they have more questions that certainties. If people point your grammar out, they certainly miss the point. You don't need to restrict yourself if they don't understand
Or they ask you a question and you do know the answer, but it's not what they wanted to hear. What they were really looking for was a little white lie that would make them feel good about themselves, not the blunt hard facts.
Punctuation is not for slow people. The ability to organize your thoughts into current structure before you lose them is the bare minimum of retention required, and absolutely a pillar of intelligence. Of course the internet loves your comment...
blud stfu u did not just diagnose urself as highly intelligent

@@andyappleton3353 😂 I was gonna mention this too. The dumber a person is the more confident & smart they think they are because they don't know what they don't know. But when you learn more you start to realise there's so much you still don't know & are therefore less confident. Unless I think you hit the end genius level & then you know you know a lot on that topic/s.
100% right!!! But I really feel frustrated seeing all others feeling happy with silly thinks, getting out and laugh, having a lot of friends, being listened, having a sense of happiness.......but i don't.
It's the same for me. I totally understand that.
Same here. I sometimes feel that social norms are very wired, for example I have a very hard time having fun and dancing with other people because it feels very unnecessary and I don’t see the point with it
Even tho you can’t see the road. You do steer the wheel. What I’ve learned to do is literally try to dumb myself down. I literally try to not see so far ahead. And it’s easier to enjoy the little things. I imagine my brain as a tight rope. And if I lean too far to these tendencies I will fall. Not saying it will ever go away
Im joking but work on your ego then your iq will flourish
I feel like i just have the worst of both worlds, im lonely and stupid
Wow, this was spot on!

@Σταυρούλα WHAT are you talking about?? Where did you get that idea from?
I feel smart and I also feel those struggles. Thanks for knowing about it!
When I was a teenager and realized that I was smarter than average, I started to use my intelligence as a tool for everything (something I kind of notice that people don't do), so I used it for personal growth and overcoming my challenges. I *used* to correlate with most if not all things in this list, but nowadays pretty much all the struggles are gone (although i still don't get out as much, mostly just due to being an introvert, but i still have an active social life)
great comment, anyone who is on the more intelligent side and experience these "struggles" should be able to notice them and solve them ;)
These seems like my story too
You are just average, bro.
Cringed so hard reading this
ur not smart. You don't "unlock" your iq to start using it
"...small minds discuss people." Sociologists: 👁👄👁
Underrated.
Severely underrated
Not to be rude or anything but, I think the video is talking about specific people around a person (about neighbors, family drama, lovers' quarrel, etc.) and sociology is more on the ideas (theories, etc.) about people in general... Isn't it?
@@amiraaxel2935 correct, you got the idea
funny cuz the quote was taken seriously even tho it really meant people who *complain* on people's behavior This is the reason how artistic simplicity can overcloud true intent.
Everyone's ego: let me introduce myself.
I feel personally attacked

Psych2Go: Pats head :It’s going easy on you:
Hello :D
As small minds talk about people
Thank you for clearing it up for me I have no questions at all 🙂 Good luck 🍀
Emotional intelligence is in my opinion one of the most important thing for success and happiness. No matter how smart you are if you cannot work and interact with other people you will have hard times.
Summary: 1) You get bored with small talk 2) You’re careful with your words 3) You are socially awkward 4) You struggle to make good friends 5) You don’t get out much 6) You’re overly analytical 7) Your mind constantly craves exercise 8) You’re always feeling pressured to succeed

Ok I might relate to most of these, but I'm still dumb.
... that just means I’m an introvert
@@bendavis6457 I relate to all of these but I am the dumbest person alive
Intelligent people know what to say in social surroundings they don't feel awkward only dorks do
"Average minds discuss events" Historians: ...I'm going to pretend I didn't see that.
"Small minds discuss people" Psychologists: Are we a joke to you?
Technically, historians study events and map out patterns and psychologists study the inner workings of the human minds, map out patterns and try to figure out ways to find the reasons behind them. So.... meh
Crystal Conners True, but that doesn’t make for an amusing comment.
Sorry, if I offended you. That wasn't what I was trying to do. And I'd like to apologize in advance if what I write next seems mean or rude (...I'm usually not a good judge of that lol) but I wasn't trying to make an amusing comment. It was more of a.... passing observation of sorts. (I'd like to apologize again if you're offended. Sorry.)
Crystal Conners No, no. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, you didn’t offend me, your observation was in the right and relevant. I only pointed out that my comment wasn’t trying to be informative, but just for laughs :) I‘m sorry if my comment sounded defensive, or otherwise passive-agressive. I’m not good at determening this thing either :/
This is so relatable it’s sad… This explains why I stare into space so much.
I thought it was because I’m on some spectrum
Because you mentioned space: I often admire the beauty of the moon or certain stars or planets, when they are visible. Then I want to tell my collogues about it, so they can watch them too. Sometimes I tell them about Jupiter or Mars being visible at the moment. But they are all: "aha....... " And thats it. No talk. No admire. No nothing. Same with the beauty of the nature. Small things. Birds, ducks, meadows. I often stand still on my walk and watch the scenery. Yet I rarely have someone that shares my thoughts.
So good and familiar, thank you! ❤
Me clicking on this thinking I’m highly intelligent
Same hahhaha
Same hahhah
thanks for bursting my bubble (,:
Me too 😂
yes omgggg i hate this
POV: you relate with all of these, but you don’t have the confidence to consider yourself intelligent
Well... I am NOT intelligent. I was just tested for a higher-than-average IQ
Unlesa you're also high in dark triad traits, if you mean emotional confidence, they have a lot of that. But if you mean rational confidence then yeah, hard to tell where you are on the totem pole since you can't read minds. You know you're up there in intelligence but just not easy to be confident about how high up/who might be more capable.
Yea cuz I don’t know which way to turn
intelligent people realize they are not intelligent and so they strive to learn more, making themselves more intelligent.
@@intensopower9398 same, just tested above average, that's not being highly intelligent, it's just plain intelligent
Thank you for the ego boost, I was actually not feeling too great (it has something to do with reason six funny enough) but now you made me realize that this could be a sign of intelligence! I am smart!!
I was like this before college. Now I have really good friends (I got those at school as well, but not as many), I enjoy more events and I try my best to get into good conversations. Nowadays I have one of the struggles from the video: The pressure to always succeed/ to do something. I've learned that this pressure comes from within but I actually like this urge, because it keeps me moving. You shouldnt be to harsh with yourself and you also shouldnt do too little.
"Intelligent people tend to have less friends than the average person. The smarter you are the more selective you become" -Nikola Tesla
I don't know if someone famous actually said that but that is an interesting statement
I dont have any friend and m Im dumb af
omg... I totally relate to that.... I don't have many friends and I feel very guilty at the fact I'm too selective about people. Honestly, having to know more things than others is a real curse. There are some times I think of this as a curse because no one understands you at all, and it's hard to state all of your thoughts out loud, because there are too many of them. I wish I had OP ways of speaking and I wish I could think less carefully about what I'm about to say. Heck, I'm thinking about what I should say not to be offensive or degrading in anyway right now. Honestly, people out there who want to know more... Sometimes, knowledge is a curse that makes you very, very, very depressed. (once you know how the world and people are, you truly value wholesome moments for what they are)
I really think I shouldn't have said that... also, I really like the quote you found. This comment is underrated.
fewer friends, not less friends
You missed the most important struggle of all: having to deal with unintelligent people who believe they are smart.
We live in a society where highly intelligent people are doubtful, whereas stupid people are hubris and ignorant. I love the world we live in 😒
Sounds like you've got a rough time 😉😅
haha you got it right!
Condescending, if that’s you’re biggest struggle than you may be over estimating yourself.
FUUUUCK, ur so right omg
It’s so interesting learning about the minds and opinions of smart people. I greatly admire highly intelligent people and love learning about how their minds think and create 😊 I’m just a little average fellow, but I hope to get better every day ❤
This channel is just an excuse for socially awkward people to feel special and tell them they’re smart. Truly intelligent people would know how not to be like that and would make friends if they wanted to instead of feeling sorry for themselves. I imagine you are more intelligent than you think as you aren’t on here bragging you have all the symptoms like everyone else is, wanting validation they are smart
@@TayWoode okay, you’re not completely wrong. If you “claim”or see yourself as “intelligent” then why not let your light shine, show your intelligence in your own special way. show your creativity and the weird, dark ,funny side of you.. people may actually find you funny or interesting- but also many intelligent people struggle with mental health which hinders them from not being able to make friends or communicate idk
@@TayWoode your wrong people with higher intelligence do struggle with these things my younger brother expresses the difficulties that this video is showing but he scored a 152 on a professional iq test so i do not believe what you are saying is true i will not continue to argue with you and any attempt to argue this will just exacerbate the image of you that is a stupid person jealous of intelligent people and thus trying to paint an image that the truly intelligent are just stupid socially awkward dummies to make yourself feel better so unless you have a truly convincing argument you will just dig a deeper hole. do not try to insult my little bro and his people
Smart enough to beguile us with your adorable comment.
God Bless You, while we are only 2% or so of the population, if more people were like you--they would realize 98% of us are just trying to improve everyone's life, but instead they tend to do the exact opposite of what we recommend or ignore us. Instead, they should ask us to explain the rational for our recommendation more fully so that maybe they can see better what we see.
You just described my entire life. Amazing.
“you don’t go out much” me: in lockdown also me: ah, intelligence

Well, I never thought about it like this until watching through this video. One day I may actually find peers worth talking to, I used to have a friend group but I think I outgrew them. Sad really because I do struggle socially, speaking to people generally bores me, small talk I do not care for and I do throw myself into random projects.
as someone with autism i find your videos super helpful with trying to explain to people how i see the world... and i have to say thank you... even though it may not seen like a lot this is for a neurodivergent person... i love seeing your videos in my feed and you always are there to push me in the right derection when im confused on life... via in a realtionship where i do not know if im the jerk or if i just dont understand... thank you Psych2go
The worst combo is being highly intelligent yet suffering from anxiety and depression...
omg yessssssss
Indeed.
This has been the last decade of my life. Knowing I could be successful in most things I'm interested in if I could just get out of my own damn way, but never finding a way to break through. Been one long negative feedback loop.
Those are very common among intelligent people. Anxiety and depression.
Yes
This sounds more like "The Struggles of An Intellectual Introvert"
As an extrovert myself, I felt it applies equally. The desire to be understood and accepted by others is a painful struggle.
@@ColinSemple I'm incredibly extroverted. I don't know a stranger BUT it does get lonely feeling like the smartest person in the room a lot of the time and not being able to start a conversation about what interests me without getting confused stares. I definitely understand what you're saying.
“Small minds discuss people”
Well not really. I have friends in my class that are extroverted and share all these traits. And um my class is a gifted class (meaning on a test the students scored above the 98th percentile of the population in terms of intelligence)
@@infinitytme676 you feel like the smartest person in the room Whao,talk about narcisism
I love hearing this voice all psych2go videos always calms me down
Sometimes being intelligent is annoying because everyone will point your errors and look like something big happened. Everyone strives to be intelligent but when you are you get so overwhelmed.
Intelligence isn’t the grades you get in school hope yall know that
True that
Tell that to the feminazis.
Why would you hope for that ? We want people to think they are intelligent and we want them to be incorrect but think they are correct this makes it easier for us actual intelligent people who suffer these drones daily the opportunity to utilise these NPC characters to our benefit and make profits and build and innovate while they are distracted by things that we imply or teach them is important or is worth something , happiness for example , they think they need this or that it’s actually real or something that can be attained lol , the clever part is you just dangle something and say this will make you happy or show them another drone claiming to be happy and get them to smile because we told them smiling means happy , and boom they buy it , but it’s a double edged sword see even though happiness is just a concept and not a tangible proven or sustainable thing or feeling that doesn’t mean it can’t be attained. If they believe this house or car or clothes will make them happy then they will make themselves happy to the best their brain can be it , now this doesn’t last long because humans are better at suffering and hardship and adversity it’s why our species is the dominant species we are worse than cockroaches, you can try and drown and your body will automatically try to survive even better example is a drowning person will drown another person in order to survive without even thinking twice the instincts just kick in and it’s auto mode . So what we do is we let purchase our happy products then we get their influences to demonstrate they don’t bring happiness anymore which they don’t for long anyways because being happy is boring . Best idea was a pandemic , i didn’t buy into the danger of it but u thrived i the fear of society , watching these idiots buy all the toilet paper and show the true nature of humans when it’s do or die they always pick themselves over others it’s only later they will be kind to others and share things etc onl after they have seen someone else do it which is why they panic buying stupid shit in the first place , I could go on forever but I forgot what I was talking about because I’m looking at my memories of these idiots haha omg but yeah don’t go educating people please I need them dumb so I can exploit them , cheers
Ye, allready know that, grades is just preferences from the teachers side and remember dump stuff while you are in an nihilistic crisis.

Kind of like how the media has spent a year dividing us with the most ridiculous allegations , used the word white in every negative connotation there is ,and applied it to all white people didn’t matter if your a good person or racist or not, got a lot of us hurt and mistreated by the ignorant, and now are putting all these let’s do this together commercials like what :now we’re good white people who care!

all of these apply Tom me besides 2
Yeah all of the above for me. But I never thought I was that smart. Like I sometimes struggle with simple tasks and often overlook the most obvious things.
Concepts, events, and people... Yeah, that's a good way to explain it. 🙇🏻♂️
This video offers great insights, but it overlooks a crucial aspect: Solutions to the struggles. Example: The power of mindset. The key to thriving in any situation lies not just in intelligence, but in developing the right attitude. It's essential to understand your purpose - to ponder deeply on why you're here. Setting clear goals for what you want to achieve during your time on Earth is just as important. Strive for excellence, be adaptable, and regularly engage in self-reflection. Ask yourself any day: 'Am I still happy?', 'Am I still on my path?' 'How can I improve?' Remember, it's the journey itself that's the true destination. Embrace this journey with a positive and purposeful mindset is one of the methodologies to live a happy and purposeful life.
Acceptance of the situation
Nobody: Me: “I suck at making friends, must be a genius”

I don't how if my relation to this video is genuine "intelligence" or being autistic it's hard to tell sometimes.
this is scarily accurate, as someone who is at the top of their class/grade and struggles with all of these.
You have the most pleasant voice I've heard in a long time! 🥳😂
Imagine being annoyed at everyone around you, but at the same time craving their acceptance... It's miserable.
“But they’re so shallow!” “But what if they don’t like you?” “But why should I care how much they like you?” “No questions, acceptance and high social status is mandatory.”
Sadly I can say I've experienced this before, and it's pretty horrible especially if you're awkward.
Why does an intelligent person want to be accepted by a group of dumb people? Better to be alone.
That’s how I feel all the time. I think my classmates are imbeciles, but at the same time I really want to fit in with them :/
Exactly...
I can't tell if I'm the dumbest person on the planet or I'm actually smart.
I mean dumb people don't usually know they are dumb
I feel you...
They say smart people think they are dumb
if you cant tell then you probably dumb
@@whatever6874 I disagree, for to think is to exist. Everyone is intelligent in there own way. I pity those who think less of others. Think about it.
I was tested for this when I was in primary school, and as a girl with high abilities, I can relate to all this and confirm it with my own experience. I thought i couldn't make friends due to my intelligence (it was part of it, i was also socially awkward). However, now I'm 18 and have more friends than my sister and I am happy where I am. I don't have any trouble making friends so I will say its only a part of the journey and don't worry if now you only have one or two friends, you still haven't found your people but you will ❤

I'm academically not smart but I have taken many personality and communication tests and they all say I am a logician. And when I read up on it I agree with everything it says, its so hard to explain to people about my interests unless they already understand it. This is why its so hard for me to work with people, I also always think about what to say before saying it and what their possible reactions to my words could be. I always want to know things and scientific facts. I feel dumb but at the same time I feel smart, its so hard to explain.
I relate to all of this except the last one "feeling pressured to succeed." Mainly because I don't care what people expect of me or want out of me. But all these points are spot on. I always hear "I wish I had your intelligence" I usually reply with "be careful what you wish for, I would trade it for acceptance in a heartbeat." When I go on trips, my radio is off so I can focus and think about a topic in my head. Or when I walk around in the store I have noise cancelling earbuds with nothing playing so I can focus on a problem in my head. I despise 'small talk' and I NEVER go out even though invited, when I am out (rarely), all im thinking is how to get back home to my studies. This condition is a lonely place.
Its not about ppl! Uh want the best for yourself and uh feel its sin to waste time periodtttt
And yet, you have the most important place

Lo
"Highly intelligent people are socially awkward" is not the same as "awkward people are highly intelligent". xD
I call that nonsense. Socially awkward people get along with each other. Highly intelligent people can't help making sense, so they don't get along easily with people addicted to doing and saying things that will have a negative butterfly effect.
@@jasonlisonbee ikr i totally agree
At age 2.5, I got diagnosed with autism in the high functioning area. So I tend to think really logically. But I am so glad, I'm starting to overcome these struggles bit by bit. Because you can learn everything, and if you are one of the people who has these struggles, you can learn it even easier. So I'm fully on my journey to improve my communication skills so I can function well socially. I also really got fascinated in analyzing emotions and how the mind works and this really helped building EQ and feeling better overall.
i can relate very very good to all 8 of the mentioned strugles......and i am kinda proud about it
“The problem with being intelligent is that it REALLY hurts when you do something stupid.” -Someone I can’t remember
Also the truth. You basically cant allow yourself to make any mistake. Not for the other peoples sake but for your own.
Humility may be an intelligent choice.
oh yeah... really true
@Seeing Through thats true of course. But it doesnt feel like that. It feels as if you had failed in some way (maybe because you expect from yourself to be better than others but at that moment it seems as if you are not? That might be it). Even if you know no one expexts you to never make mistakes. I guess its possible to overcome that but its hard.
I think that's pride?
When you're clearly not highly intelligent but still come here for self-validation lol

I feel all of these except the social ones. I don't really struggle socially, and ive always been everything but serious
i relate to almost all of these ( i also got 2nd place on a kahoot recently, i was devistated because i had constently gotten 1st place on every other kahoot for the past year and a half)
People who are consistently at peace with their own mental health in this day and age. They are probably the new smart we all aspire to be.
If there was a slew of replies here, I'd hope they'd be as sane and quait as your reply but mayb one day
If you're "at peace" with you're mental health than you've admitted defeat already and settled for less. Its always about progression.
@@deezybruh123 Can you rationalise why being "at peace" should be taken in a negative context? My take with your comment is, if it is always about "progression", it feels like the capitalist version of mental health.
hope ur well xx
@@jordanhaynes9728 Thank you, you too ❤
"There is so much inputs, that it blocks your output... " Allright that is the perfect explanation.
2 weeks late on my essay on abstract concepts. Decided to write one on "Fear". Well, fear of failure has eliminated my ability to write it
@@bkelsey6692 are u trying to fail lmao do your essay
You try writing an essay about the concept of fear when you have performance anxiety! Its an ironic cycle of pain!
I’ve been looking for a way to explain that for so long, and now I finally have one!!
Yes..... U r right...... Bcz of this problem, people used to call us Confused.....
thank you for this video, i relate to most of these things, but what it taught me that i should be content with where i am and going, and validation should not mean much to me
bro i swear people always say “oh i wish i was a smart person” like its not always a good thing
This video is just telling me I’m not highly intelligent in 8 different ways
At least You are funny ;)
Me too 😭
Mist opportunity to say in 9 different ways
All the 8 traits come with drawbacks also, so you must be grateful
Im not highly intelligent.... im Just only High.
“Your mind has the munchies” is the cutest description of this problem that I’ve ever heard... I like it, thank you! :D
Yes
Helo I Am InTeLiGeNt
You are a brain. Feed that thing well.
I fill those munchies by playing games and doing mentally challenging things
♥️♥️♥️
Excellent presentatin...Thank You...more than you will ever know !!
I've learned how to overcome these issues by accepting who I am. Also, there is no such thing as failure in my life. Every "failure" is a learning experience to better myself and to show my character and morals.
What alot of people in the comments need to know is intelligent people may have social anxiety, but social anxiety doesn't give you intelligence.
I love you.
Yesh and that's why I'm still a fricking idiot(I don't even know how to spell this lol)
Correct my friend
@@NexTheCorrupt gross
Ahh yes… my brain telling me that im intelligent or special, just to protect me of realize how average I am…
Me: depressed, paranoid, careful, only 2 friends, constantly stressed, unable to keep any interest in anyone or anything, and little to no ability to emote with people. Me: I must be sMorT
You need a therapy my friend at that point... it helps a lot.
I feel the exact same way
Depressed, intelligent... all the same thing, right?
literally me, but then watched this video and realized am not smort
You just described me
This describes my life almost perfectly - help - no really, every little bit of this seriously applies to me - thats crazy!
I'm in the gifted and still a sociopath and psycho path also depressed. Depression was already stuck before watching your videos, I didn't know what A sociopath was...
1.Majority of people think they're smarter than average. 2. Most idiots consider themselves smart and know-it-all. Truly intelligent people realize how much they dont know, and there's always room for improvement.
It's called the dunning Kruger effect
Is a roughly-accurate assessment of one's own intelligence impossible? Seems desirable to know how one's tool actually measures out.
That is so true!! Couldnt agree more.
Actually I don’t know about that, I perceive that very differently, like, from my young age I was always persuaded that I was better at something than another (maybe to encourage myself because I had always had a very low self esteem, but that’s not the right mentality I know that already) and I tend to think it this way even now (I could add that I think I’m pretty intelligent but I don’t want to sound presomptuous or something… So sorry in advance for making you all reading this thinking that even tho a few are likely to see this comment) So anyway huh. Yea. I don’t know what’s going on my mind, and I’m also asperger with autistics tendencies so that might be the reason why that’s not very clear in my brain…
@@aneeku7519 aspie here too🙋♂️
When you're not intelligent enough but is watching this...Ohh well.. im just curious what it feels like to be smart 😅
I think I'm very smart and she's right, it can be very lonely and sometimes sad. Also there's a major test to patience and me being a female can make it difficult with certain men. That's why I tell people I think being intelligent is sometimes overrated. There's so much more to life than just being smart. But I also understand the admiration.
She didn't mention the name of any condition, but what she said matched up perfectly with something called "high potential". I have it, so I can tell... It's not pleasant, let me just say that. Expectations are the worse thing, personally they cause me to backpedal and do awful, disappointing myself and everyone else in the process. Anxiety is pretty much my whole life at this point.
It sucks. If you're smart everybody around you thinks that you know everything. And if you failed once, those hardships and efforts that you showed them will disappear like a freakin smoke. They'll get disappointed. Ps. IM NOT SMART.

Not that good especially with mental issues like i have : )
This just confirmed what I know about myself already thank you for making a cartoon to enlighten my peers
I can totally relate to the feeling pressured to succed, even withing myself, the constant craving of mind stimulating activities, being overly analytical, and not getting out much. But the one thing that I dont relate to (luckily) is the lack of friends. I have found mulitple freind groups that I fit into so well, its hard for me to even decide which I like better.
"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know." Ernest Hemingway "Ignorance is bliss." -Thomas Gray
I would say that as soon as I speak of my ideas relating to science and philosophy and human constructs like marriage my friends who are always judging people and relaying useless information about how much they remember from the past and where they have been, they seem to be annoyed with me that I don't remember those things or I say I try not to judge people. I have begun to realise as I get older that I live in this 24 hours because this is all we have and I've wasted so much of my life in the company of people who just have good memory's for people's lives they have come across, hey ho thanks for this,
@@suzangroves959 that's really beautiful
@Fallon Waye so true
@Fallon Waye you can find happiness- before you find awareness. If you're not aware you arent aware of who knows what, whats not to be happy about? Life would be exceedingly more simple and easy to understand. And how can you truly feel entitled to tell someone else their happiness is wrong or incorrect? I think i just argued in defense of science deniers but 🤷
The connotations of ignorance are always negative. Even if ignorant people tend to be happier, it doesn't mean that their lifestyle is more practical than the one of those who are aware of the harsh side of the world. The more knowledge you accumulate, the more benefits it rewards - because with more knowledge, navigating around the world becomes easier; your life becomes generally better. It is better to search for the flaws of something, rather than only watching its positive side.
Everyone that clicked on this video: *i'm something of a highly intelligent person myself*
How are you doing, fellow highly intelligent people?
Who said I was watching this video for info on myself?
Me watching this video getting high af and popping a wellbutrin: ye
I think I'm an idiot, but people keep calling me smart so that's why I'm here.
Lol
I have some online groups who are friendly, but whenever I'm with people in person, I can't do any small talk unless it relates to my interests and hobbies. I also noticed that the location of an intellectual's home geographically wasn't mentioned and is potentially a very big factor when it comes to social awkwardness and friendship development. I'm located in a rural town away from most of the friends I've made in person from university and college courses, and so I lost contact with them very easily because whilst I knew them in person, I also felt that they wouldn't be interested in meeting up once the courses were over. However, in contrast to my situation, I believe that those who live in big towns and cities are more likely to have longer friendships than those who live further apart that are very likely to just say "let's meet online". It's just not the same. I want to be able to physically meet people I know online on a weekly or daily basis, but everyone I know feels like they live vastly different lives and live further than Id'd be comfortable with travelling. If anyone else who lives and feels like this, please comment or like! It would be nice to know if people agree with my thoughts.
How do you deal with the pressure to succeed? The pressure from within specifically. Also, that bit on knowing things other don't being a secret pleasure, spot on.
“Highly intelligent person” Hoo boy I’m curious what kind of crowd this is gonna bring in
Is this sarcasm supposed to mean you think only idiots who think they're smart will watch this
Yea, these can be just usual introvert things that doesnt have to mean that you are smart
(burp) Moooorty . tbh a smart person shouldn't have a hard time communicating with anyone because they're smart enough to recognize how other people communicate and match their level effectively. The "smart people hate small talk" thing immediately throws me off because small talk is a great way to get to know someone and communicate with very low stakes. To imply that "smart people" only want to talk about high-concept, complicated shit is stupid. I love debate and media analysis and high-concept stuff, but it gets exhausting. Talking about the weather or a something "unimportant" is easy. It's like saying "talented baseball players don't want to just play catch" or something. Of course they do. Shoot.
M-K-L i don‘t agree with that statement. Actually, highly intelligent people have a hard time communicating with other people, because they usually have other mannerisms and interests. Thats why gifted students are often bullied in school, apart from the jealousy. Being socially intelligent isn’t the same as being highly intelligent 🤷♀️
Tinker Belle “gifted students are bullied in school” is exactly the kind of generalization that causes this misunderstanding. It isn’t even necessarily accurate. As a socially anxious gifted student who was never bullied in school, I feel the need to voice that this correlation between intelligence and social ineptitude is complete bologna. There are confident smarties. There are shy dummies. It’s never as black and white as many like to think.
My Mom cried when she read my first standardized test scores in First grade; she said being so intelligent, I'd never be happy. Fifty years later, I can tell you that I am actually very happy, but it required stepping away from what she and most others would consider 'success'.
Does that mean you are happy but only fifty years later or how should your comment be interpreted?
@@aminbinsalim1995 - everyone's path is unique. It took me a long time to realize my own happiness fell outside of the daily practices of those society considers 'successful'.
@@floydblandston108 It seems like you equate happiness to success, am i wrong to infer that? If that's how you view it then why? And please pardon me for inquiring if it's too invasive or personal. And if i may add some more questions. First of all i respectfully think you're mother was just worried about you but didn't know to use a better way to say it, and i apologize if It's like i am rubbing salt in your wound but knowing that it took you this long to find your happiness, where then lyed the problem? Did you try for example to do what you're mother told you in order to be happy but actually were wrong untill you were able to get out of it on your own? Or do you see some thruth to what she said based on your experience and what you witnessed around you regarding people that are intelligent or highly intelligent? Props to you for your efforts and finding happiness
@@aminbinsalim1995 - have you read 'Candide' by Voltaire? If not, I would suggest you start there.
@@floydblandston108 Thank you for the suggestion, but with all due respect does it have to do with our discussion? Because as far as i am concerned, i've asked you a few questions, if you're not willing to respond it's totally ok but i wonder if i might be misunderstood or not but at least i know i yet to actually be explicit with my intention so i think it would be reasonable to give you the befenit of the doubt. Does your comment means you got what i intend to convey or that you assume you got it? P.S: I assume you are someone who has toughness but please do not worry, i mean no harm
Pov: You need a 7 min KZhead video to validate your intelligence. The amount of urge you felt to click on this, defines your perception about your own self. In my opinion, it's rare that people would have decided to watch this out of curiosity, to increase their understanding about behavioral psychology. And that, in my opinion, is how this channel runs i.e A direct statement on your identity, is what runs this channel. However, the points mentioned here are valid but does not represent the entirety of the the personality or behavioral traits mentioned. Somehow managing to associate a common particular trait with intelligence has proved to be beneficial for both, the creators and viewers, financially and emotionally respectively. Keep it up. Test and practice your analytical skills, problem solving skills, spacial reasoning skills and verbal comprehension skills if a "higher level of intelligence " is what you desire. -A practicing Neurologist
Yes, I actual have these same struggles on a daily basis. I try have important and intellectual conversations with most individuals in my life but they can't handle it or don't care.
I’m either highly intelligent or I’m just a narcissist
Biggest struggle: answering whether I am actually highly intelligent or just a smug idiot
Same
It do be like that 🤷♀️
Lol
..this is legit my thoughts right now lol
Me: *watches video* Also me: *can’t relate to anything in this video because I’m stupid af*
I love ur name
Bah! Stupidity isn't being unable to relate to these issues. It's just like intelligence, there's no single definition. Don't go putting yourself down just because you watched a 7 minute lecture.
rip
Sucks to be you
I like your name UwU
Looking inwards, this reminds me of how close to home that Dexter quote was “people fake a lot of human interactions, but I feel like I fake them all, and I fake them very well, that is my burden”
Thank you very much for this video, it helped me a lot ! I love your work !
the biggest struggle I can think of is: "am i actually smart enough, or am I going on confirmation bias based on what a few individuals close to me have said"
Just watch the general buzz in the comments of several issues. if you see the overwhelming sea of widow licking, floor drooling stupidity represented by 80+% of the comments you are likely smart. If you think 80% of the comments are interesting, you are one of THEM...
@@86Corvus so 90% of the people who read them are smart?
Yes
The fact that you question yourself that way should give you your answer. Unintelligent people don't question.
@@ramyfarah5293 what is question
The one trait this video missed was, people who talk to themselves. Self narration is very helpful with staying on track of your day to day tasks, and also really great for your mental health.
Agreed
I think that is not only in highly intelligent, but in more smart than others. I think that it was out because of that. Btw its only my opinion dont hate🤷♂️.
Agreed, I do it a lot
I’m very curious on this. Can you expand on self narration? Do you mean as in saying out loud what you’re currently doing?
I believe most humans do talk themselves but not out loud so I assume you mean speaking out loud to ones self.
i really enjoyed this video
You forgot one point: Other people thinking, that they are smarter than the intelligent one. This can drive you insane. No mater what you are doing, it will be always wrong.
It's sad to realize that school taught you only that intelligence is having good grades and if you study worse, you"ll mean nothing to society. Imagine just being sociable, intelligent, nice, funny and confident person - then you go to school and the enviroment kills your personality, you become depressed, anxious, tired kid with self image issues :(
@@ailenecuevas9598 that is not right...that teacher should be fired.
I don’t have to imagine🥲
Jip I’m in that club. My teacher told me when I was 5: I am to dumb and it’s not worth explaining anything to me. Forever afraid to fail or especially be bad at sth in front of someone
Man that is just 100% true! Hopefully sometime or some year schools will better understand the human mind and change their depression system of learning.
The purpose of most education systems is not to create intelligent citizens capable of critical thinking. The purpose is to create citizens who are willing and capable of running machines and systems without thinking about the purpose and sensibleness thereof.
The worst is when you know you're intelligent but can't manifest your intelligence into anything useful yet bc uve got so much crap going on in your life
bruuuhhh, mhmmm
Or when you want to do something that really interests you but school has you locked in to the normal path
@@antisocialpenguin2398 This was literally me from 5th grade all the way to graduating high school. I completely understand at that point why people dropped out of school/ran away.
I feel that bro
Absolutely, the most scary thing is not be able to use that potential as you would like, due to environmental reasons
All of them. And feeding my brain with interesting stuff gets harder and harder year after year.
I am exactly each one of these. Feels good to know not alone and its normal.
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts"
And that the smart people are outnumbered by the fools, this world is not made for highly intelligent people. If you are not socially educated/integrated then you got massive problems to get into an habitat where you can use your intelligence properly. social inequality and an unleashed misanthropic capitalism are the roots of most of individual struggles with what this clip framed so nice as "social awkwardness". What got this in common with the COVID-19? The consequence of the virus is, that the virus works as an catalyst. In lesser time, as without this nasty little boy, we will see worldwide the issues in "our" system. And IF we are smart enough (or if the smart people are loud enough) than we got perhaps a chance to fix our problems. And the virus is the less important problem we got. Who is not making the Rick Grimes move in the last year, will know what i mean...
This! 100%
that quote is attributed to one of my all time favorite philosophers: Bertrand Russell
Well thats why being wise is better than being intelligent or smart, as u get to succeed in every aspect of your life in the best way possible witha high EQ too.
What if one's assurance rests in God? God is all knowing and all powerful. I don't think that applies in all situations. Our minds are limited and we can never fully comprehend the mind of God; Creator of Heaven and Earth
