I have an IQ of 150 and I feel so alone. It doesn't feel triumphant, it's just isolating. I have to dumb down my natural speech to speak with ordinary people. I can't connect with virtually anyone, even and especially intellectual types who take mental flowcharts of predictable lines as curiosity in the same way normies do, albeit with a slightly larger tapestry.
I often emulate lower IQ levels to make social connections. It's effective, but depressing. I've gone through phases of being arrogant in my youth, to humility in my 20s, and now, as I enter my 30s, I realize I really AM that much smarter than virtually all of humanity, even the more advanced pockets of it. Wr ARE that stupid, that wretched.
I'm not all that capable by my own standards, but ordinary people treat me like some kind of deity, for better or worse. They really are retard children.
Someone just tell me to tip my fedora and call me cringe already

Don’t resent your gifts, embrace them. You will find likeminded individuals if you keep putting your authentic self out there when the situation calls for it. Or make peace with the loneliness, that’s the path I took.

Give yourself brain damage. Controlled oxygen deprivation. Just drop some IQ and you can rejoin humanity.

Addiction worked for me. A little bit here and there. Not necessarily drougs just any sort of addiction. It worked for a while at least. The sex.
I have more enjoyable interactions now. Like a few ones, here and there, to avoid being completely unadaptable, you know? But i still don’t look foward to it.
I try to get new addictions here and there. Changue them every now and then. Otherwise is unbearable.
I tried to get more stupid, but i always feel it coming back.
I have a few degrees, is just unsustainable to socialize for long periods of time.
It gets worse overtime.
I have a few people like me that i met online.
They help, a lot.
Just hang in there anon.

I also learn Japanese, piano, juggling, and many more! Also you are here every single time I post and literally follow me around and comment about me for hours every time I am here. What is your life like? I bet you're super popular and successful and not a virgin and have a good relationship with your family.

I was a bit of a dilettante in my youth and fancied myself a genius of extraordinary but untapped potential. As I get older I realize that though my intellectual gifts are my birthright, they do not define me, and there are many ways to live authentically in the world (in addition to connecting with other big brainers who approach or sometimes even surpass my depth). In fact I once very seriously thought of leaving my kind and loving girlfriend who is not as bright as me, but the more I accepted her love, her warmth, the more I appreciated that she always listened even when she didn't understand - among an uncountable infinity of other reasons - the less I began to rely on my intellect as my sole source of comfort in this world.
Learn to appreciate the elegance of simplicity. Slow down a bit. Step outside of your comfort zone and practice gaining mastery in the world, rather than merely within your mind. Educate others. Teach them what they may never have figured out on their own, and then teach them how to figure it out. But also, listen to people's hearts, not just their thoughts. Your gift could allow you to expand further than you ever believed possible, if only you stopped letting it isolate you so much.

If you really were that smart you would have figured out a solution to the riddle of retards years ago. Plenty of geniuses find their way with ease. Your problem is not your mighty intellect but your personality and just plain you. Fix that before woe is meing

This anon gets it.
I guess the mighty 150 IQ, +3 1/3 σ ahead of the goddamn curve is unable to figure out such trivial matter..
Another one exposed by the razor...

>I have an IQ of 150
No you don't. One of the characteristics of true intelligence is the ability to relate to and interact with all sorts of people, without "dumbing down."
What you have is a lot of education and the foolishness of thinking that makes you superior to others. Stop feeding your own ego and actually listen to some of the "ordinary people." You might learn something.

There are different ways to be smart, this guy is probably great with grasping scientific concepts and things like that but poor socially.
I know a lot of neurodivergent types like this, I guess in order to succeed you need a certain amount of intelligence to offset your brain being quirky.

No, this guy is not smart. He's just a spoiled and snobbish teenager (or manchild) complaining about normies because he's either jealous of people enjoying their lives or they made fun of him and he couldn't take it like a champ.
Whenever people start with "i have an iq of..." you can bet they don't. It's like saying you're 6'5 or have a 10 inch unbent duck. 99,999% of times it isn't true.
That's not even considering IQ as a metric is stupid. It doesn't do anything and is far too simplistic.
Come on, you've been in this site long enough that people lie/exaggerate all the time... it's the internet.

I know a guy with ADHD who had his IQ clinically tested and is in the 99th percentile (or was it 1%, I always forget how that shit works) - he understands anything mathetmatical or mechanical with ease and basically carries the 10 man R&D department at work and yet the other day he flooded his house with semi-toxic gas because he forgot to read about the risks of some resin or plastic he was working with.
His wife laments that after 20 years together he still can't consistently remember to put his plate in the dishwasher when he's done with it.
He also told a guy he hated his dog, that had died 5 years ago and they were reminiscing about so social skills not great lol.

Sure, i believe you this could've happened. However, we could spend all week litigating the validity of the IQ test. I'm not going to go there. You can discuss this with other anons over at /sci/
My point is: guy comes in here, claims an arbitrarily large mental ability and then proceeds to use that as a way to justify his grievances to normies.
...And they take this as a face value, because they also have the same grievances.
So, what sort of advice this guy is seeking? Or is it all about validation?

Once you get past a certain point the conversational iq gap of 30 begins to apply to near every casual interaction. Yet you still crave social interaction, you just have to accept people for what they can do. Otherwise, consider solipsism

He should join Mensa, would fit right in with the fart huffers
Yet something about his post tells me he avoids situations where others might challenge his perceived intellectual superiority. The whole thing reeks of crocodile tears, pretentious lamentation and disdain for everyone not him.
Joe Bob may not meet his standards for companionship (no one does) and exists merely as a symbol of the stupid and wretched but he also tells good jokes, is handy with HVAC, likes to go fishing and camping, and will lend an ear when times are hard, solid life advice when you need some, and his truck when you move. Who would you rather spend your free time with, Joe Bob or OP?

IQ is real. You can argue about how well IQ tests measure it, but you cannot seriously claim that IQ does not exist or that it is meaningless. Differences are obvious. Some children master multiple languages or reach elite levels in complex games like chess at a very young age. Others struggle with basic written instructions on how to prepare instant noodles. This gap is not cultural myth or social construction. It is a fact of nature. You can complain about the fairness of reality, but denying reality is just absurd.

who told you that you have an IQ of 150? did you actually get professionally evaluated or did you do one of those online tests? actually, don't answer, i already know it's the latter.
No one who is actually smart and has a high IQ goes on an anime basket weaving forum to flaunt it. you shoulf join those faggots at Mensa whose greatest accomplishment in life is being born. you'd fit right in. you're like those niggers who flaunt their 12 inch bbcs like it's some kind of achievement.

If you're really worried about having to artificially "dumb down" you speech, learn another language like Thai or Chinese or something. You will not run out of languages.

...Yep. IQ doesn't win chess games or make you a polyglot. And chess isn't about intelligence, any 1100+ player will tell you that. That guy just outed himself as a midwit who was once flattered by a number and a curve on the screen and now is trying to make it reality.
Oh well, many such cases. /sci/core
