Introverts are insanely creative. My introverted friend used to change her background into an incoming call and set a 6-minute alarm everytime she was about to go into a social situation. Since the alarm was the same as her ringtone, she got away easily. Its genius.
Write that down!! Write that down!! 📝✍️✍️
Sounds less genius and more high social anxiety and avoidance
Bruh
😂 that is genius I’m taking notes…
I'm confused. She'd change her "background"? What does that mean?

Thanks for this man
@@ankushparmar2662 not a problem happy to help
Thank you stranger
I may not be an introvert, or smart, but I have way too many friends that fit the bill, and have too low self esteem to realise. Being the group therapist for my friends it gets vaguely infuriating when they’re great, or do something impressive, and don’t ENCOURAGE THEMSELVES!
It sounds like you care deeply about your friends. Do they also support you emotionally when you need?
@@Psych2go they do, we have a very inter supportive group. We all help each other, and all vent. That said, I’m the only one who helps with the more, romantic issues. There was a point where one of my friends liked my other friend in the same group, which was tricky for me to help them through, but it went well in the end.
@@metarunner514 You deserve a true friend like yourself.
@@waftsofpetrichor thank you, that means a lot!
As someone who may fit the bill low self-esteem are my coping mechanism I'm too self conscious and which is why I prefer to be alone when I'm trying to do anything even exercise so if they're there to see what I'm doing I'll either stop or just say something that put myself down so that they wouldn't expect anything and go away
I'm introverted but I also have an introverted classmate who's a genius at most of the things in the classroom, especially in Math. Even though she just sleeps in the room most of the time, her abilities amazes me. She has friends(unlike me lol), but I admire her independence most of the time.
But I tend to look down on myself often because how I don't know to work things out and fear also stops me. That's why discovering myself is so hard, even just saying it out.
You're not alone. I had an introverted classmate who is also a genius. We shared similar hobbies but he is far more proficient in them. I have also lost my sense of self because I tried so hard to fit in at one stage in my life. I'm slowly learning more about myself but it's a struggle with my middling self-esteem.
Maybe he/she is most likely to be an intp/intj or any other introverts...
There's nothing wrong to fear something, having the courage to face it will make you see things you didn't see before though so you should try to cross that fear little by little.
"Hard time fitting in." Who cares about fitting in? We're all different. Nobody is normal. Normal is just a word invented by a group of similar people to single out people with differences. There's nothing wrong with being different.
I have a weird case where I could fit in but I know I would really not like it lol. It’s a complicated case because the ostracizing and loneliness don’t feel good and it doesn’t feel good that some people say “just fit in” but I feel more liberated just being myself.
I think Incels give a bad name to people who don’t feel like they fit in
@@sakonan4883 I'm like that too. I find it too restrictive to hide who I am just so other people can feel good about themselves.
I feel like if I had friends, I could never truly be myself around them for some reason
@@Mysterious-Night We all feel like that sometimes. That's why you gotta be yourself anyways. If you attract friends by hiding who you are, are they friends with you or the "mask of normalness" you wear? If you attract a friend by being yourself, you can be sure they are friends with YOU.
but im like abnormal abnormal abnornal tho that doesnt make sense
I never felt I fit in at school. I would read and draw during recess, watching this video made me happy about who I am. This means a lot sense I am going through a rough mental health state. I am a huge introvert and this helped me so much. It boosted my self confidence. Thank you!! ❤
Same! I kinda accidently invented a scuffed version of D&D that was very short and very linear
For me, I would like to read books and make stuff, I kept doing it and surprisingly everyone is curious about my stuff e.g. high voltage generator. At that moment, everyone was aware of me when they don't actually believe I made it. I never fit in school too, but only that moment I feel like I actually did.
I relate to everything but number 7. I have lost my sense of self years ago; I don't know exactly who I am anymore. However, this video helps. I'm glad my "flaws" are actually signs of intelligence.
I remember very clearly , when I first watched "Genius" , a documentary series on Einstein . I just loved him so much , for he was everything I want to be . My family and friends called him insane , but I only admired the man more . His introversion and social anxiety , craze of discovering things was just so relatable and still is . Whether I am a genius or not , I am happy with the fact that introversion doesn't mean degradation in various standards of life . A little bit of optimism is all that you need .
Unfortunately, a recent neuroscience news study found that people with greater optimism tend to have poorer judgment.
I have all the signs but im dumb :)
Same dude
How Do U Watch The Video When It Came Out 2 Minutes Ago And Is 5 Minutes Long??

@@metarunner514 Whos Him 😭
I have all the dumb, but I'm signs
One of the most challenging and thought driving realizations that has come upon me is how important it is to push myself in social situations, even as an awkward, introverted thinker.
I really relate to this a lot. I used to sleep in class and one of my favorite subject is math. I only have to see it once or twice and understand it. Never really thought about it over much because I thought it was the normal in my world.
Growing up, it's always been frustrating for my parents because I was always bored in school and not like all of the other kids. I finished a year's worth of math in a month and the subject of govn and econ within 2 weeks, so I wondered why school teaches so slow.
I'm now writing a novel series to adapt to film. I hope to pave the way and limitless imaginations for future generations. I've learned to take time for myself, self-care days. I listen to inspiring music / sad music to recharge because I need to feel things intensely. -INFP Excited for the next 10 years!
I don't know about Elon Musk at this point.
Also known as Elmo and Mr. Tweet.
Who?
@@homer4635you have the right to be in silence, anything you say can and will be use against you in the court of law . 😅
Also agree. He is unveiling the depths of his darkness.
He craves a very wide, specific type of attention. There's no way he's an introvert. He's the type who'd claim to be one to seem more "deep"
Thank you. This video encapsulates my personality seamlessly. :) But I believe we shouldn’t overlook the many extroverts who are also included in the list of geniuses in history.
True, but they're already plenty recognized and accepted for the simple reason that they ARE extroverts. It's us introverts who are not accepted and pressured to be "normal" who need this to help normalize introversion so we can be accepted as who we are rather than forced to fit into a mold not made for anyone close to us.
@@raz5003 That's the internet. The real world is still full of extroverts.
@@raz5003 I'd just like to point out that your arguments are similar to the arguments of people whining about LGBTQ
Lets not argue. I only intended to convey that, introvert or extravert, both can be geniuses. In the end, we all are humans and labels such as these are there to add to our understanding of the world and its citizens, not to divide us.
Hi I'm an introvert and your channel understand me so well of what I'm feeling :)
Hope you all have a great day
Thank you so much for watching! Which part of the video helped you understand yourself better?
Me too!
thanks you too
Even being an introvert genius wont help since at one point in time u will have to leave and explore in the extroverted world in order to earn credit for your findings or the world will steal it.
Shut up we are not dumb like extrovert 😂🎉🎉
@@AnuvabGhosh-sx5eu I never said introverts were dumb but can't say that for you . that comment makes no sense 😂
I relate a little to well to the clueless one XD! My history teacher thinks I'm a genius because of my ideas and points of view, but then I think my math teacher thinks I'm an idiot because I always fa the tests because I'm incapable of paying attention in class.
Einstein hated math
other way around for me
Huh, I had pondered me being both introverted, and smart. This basically confirmed it, and also explains why I _struggle_ so much with simpler things, though my family's negligence didn't help.
An autism diagnosis explained it for me. Super jagged skills, so smart with some things but cant grasp simple stuff.
@@user-ye1go6hw9r I was diagnosed with autism as well, so that makes sense too.
Confirmation bias. Table for two
@@white_isnt_a_race2338 Wow, you must be a hit at parties. You also must know both me and *user* really well to know how we think and what we are aware of, since confirmation bias is _only seeking out things that confirm what you already think_ and for the longest time I _didn't_ think I was smart, and it was only after seeing multiple things that suggested I was smarter than I gave myself credit for that I started thinking it, and this actually gave the detail that made me see that those suspicions might be true. Also, if confirmation bias is such a concern for you, point me to something that would _go against_ this videos points and I will happily look at it and come back.
@@white_isnt_a_race2338 while I acknowledge its role in everything, you have no idea what the road to my diagnosis looked like, and how many misdiagnosis i had because of (teachers parents school counselors GPs own confirmation bias)... it has completely changed everything, including my ability to keep myself on this side of the dirt.
I don't know if I'd be bold enough to label myself a genius, but pretty much all of those apply to me. I started school a year early, and then was bumped up another full grade on top of that. I was a latchkey kid; my parents weren't around that much (for reasons that I'll only get into on a second post, because of the subject matter), so I was taught how to take care of myself. I've been cooking for myself since I was 4. Other kids didn't interest me. I spent all my time alone, either playing video games or reading. I started reading Stephen King when I was 6, and had already completed my high school's English reading curriculum before I'd even started high school. Despite my academic performance, I was regarded as a pariah. Back then in the 80s and 90s, I knew I was "different", but the term used by modern mainstream discourse is non-binary. Everyone else seemed to know as well, despite my best efforts. Gender roles made no sense to me; they were just arbitrary rules that everyone followed for no reason. I was also raised in a religious cult, and was the only one who seemed aware of it and asked questions. Yeah, just imagine being a child and realizing that _everyone around you is crazy._ I won't go into it unless someone asks, but my childhood was basically a perpetual nightmare. And no one ever came to save me.
Thanks to my grades, I was able to get a paid internship with a major bank when I was only 15. This introduced me to the corporate world much sooner than my peers. But more importantly, it taught me how predatory student loans are. Back then, the "conventional wisdom" was to just get a loan, go to college, get a degree in whatever, and there would be a job waiting for you. But I knew that was insanity; all you had to do was take a step back and actually _look_ how things worked. I'd gotten into Berkeley at 16, but couldn't afford it. My mom had also lost my college fund on a bad investment, and she reacted very badly to my coming out. So, I had to put myself through college without student loans or help from my folks. I gave up on Berkeley and went to a local college, and then transferred later. I worked 3 jobs to make it happen, and sacrificed my physical and mental health and all common luxuries in order to complete my goal. Imagine eating nothing but canned food and sleeping on subways for a few years. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I knew better. By the time I got my first degree, I was exhausted in every way a person can be. _But I didn't know anyone a cent._ Skip forward to the present day, and I'm the only person I know who isn't saddled with crippling debt.
I spent the rest of my 20s rebuilding my finances by staying in the corporate world. I excelled at logistics and audits, and was popular with clients and respected by the staff. However, that respect was conditional; if I ever questioned some nonsensical customer service policy (and there were _plenty_ of them), I was told to just shut up and go along with it. I've always had a hard time connecting with other people, and the staff was no different. There were lots of issues, but it came to a head in 2011 during the Occupy Wall Street movement. The branch I was stationed in was actually on the front lines for some of the most violent protests. We had busted ATMs, broken windows, threats against staff, you name it. It culminated with a few thousand people marching through the streets and surrounding out building. Despite this, we were forced to go to work; the company wanted to put on a brave face for the PR, and would fire us on the spot if we refused to cooperate. We were trapped in that building for about 5 hours. We were told the cops were going to escort us out, but it never happened. And once it was all over, we were expected to go to work as if the company hadn't risked our lives for the sake of optics.
I ended up having a very public mental breakdown, and was forced into therapy. It saved my life, but it came at the cost of my career. Those months in therapy were rough, but it forced me to look at myself and reassess my priorities. I couldn't go back to the corporate world. I also had a second career as a video game reviewer. I've been playing games for 40 years, and had started writing about them in college as a way to keep my writing sharp after I'd finished my English prerequisites. I wrote over 700 reviews in analytical/persuasive essay format, none of that shallow, generic stuff you see today. I had a massive readership with over 2 million views, all gained via word of mouth. I also won over 30 writing contests. But I'd grown disillusioned with the gaming industry and gaming as a whole; that's a whole separate post in itself. I didn't want to spend another decade of my life sitting in front of a screen, pushing buttons, and playing iterations of the same old games with newer graphics. I didn't want to live vicariously through fiction. I needed something more... _real._
So, I walked away. Both figuratively and literally; I started wandering the streets of San Francisco after my therapy sessions were done. First it was to the touristy spots, then neighborhoods and trails. As of now, I've covered about 3/4 of the city on foot. I didn't stop there, either. Turns out, my curiosity and adventurous streaks run deep. I started going to other places in California, then other states, and then other countries. As of now, I've been to 30 countries spanning 6 continents, and have been systematically checking off entries on my bucket list. I love hiking; being surrounded by nature - and away from people - is wonderful. Beaches, mountains, rainforests, deserts, glaciers, volcanoes, wildlife, ancient ruins, UNESCO sites... I'm up for anything. I picked up photography as a secondary hobby as a way to record my interests. I didn't realize this at the time, but it helped me hone my natural spatial awareness skills; I seek out details, shapes, colors, lighting, etc. that others would overlook. It's resulted in some spectacular photos, but I can't link them here due to how comments work. Regardless, taking the chance to travel and photograph everything was one of the best choices I've made. I don't like people, but the world itself is fascinating in terms of how systems interact and create different things. It led me to go back to college remotely during the pandemic and earn my second and third degrees, this time in Environmental Science and Geography. Now my focus is on Remote Sensing and GIS.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows, though. Due to my experiences, I've always been very isolated. The effects they had on my mind were dire; officially, I'm diagnosed with Personality Disorder Unspecified, Depression, and PTSD. I despise being around other people in a way that goes far beyond introversion. People make even less sense to me than they did before; what little faith and trust I've had in others have been destroyed in the last few years. I have no one in my life; I recently went a whole month without talking to another human being in person. I haven't had any kind of relationship since college. Romance and having kids don't appeal to me at all, which makes me the black sheep of my family. That whole "genius loner" cliche is _very_ overrated. If I was really a genius, I'd have found a way to live with everything that's happened to me, and have a future to live for.
TLDR: I relate with everything mentioned in this video, but I don't think I'm bold enough to label myself a genius. I've been taking care of myself since I was a child, started reading adult books at 6, started a successful career at 15, got into college at 16, had to put myself through said college without student loans and by working 3 jobs instead, had a successful career in the game industry, live without debt, traveled all over the world, found my love for hiking and photography, and went back to college remotely to pursue Environmental Science and Geography. I thrive on observation, logistics, analysis, and spatial awareness. However, I grew up in mostly social isolation; parents were neglectful at best, I was born and raised in a cult, and I was a social outcast due to be non-binary. My childhood was a nightmare. I sacrificed everything to reach my academic goals, missed out on my 20s, and was ultimately used and discarded by the company that I'd worked so long for. My mental health leaves much to be desired, and I have no one in my life. The whole "genius loner" cliche is very overrated. If I was a genius, I'd have found a way to live with everything that's happened to me, and have a future to live for.
That was an amazing story I am amazed with what you have been through. Maybe u should add writing a biography book to that bucket list.
@@kristelgo2682 Thanks, it was just a brief summary. I had to leave tons out because of the character limit, and this site's auto censor prevents me from directly stating the darker and more graphic things I've lived through. And yeah, an autobiography has been in the works for years. These days, it takes more effort to convince myself to stay alive long enough to write it.
Seems like a genius, alright. Geniuses aren't perfect.
What about pets or animals? Have you ever try to have a pet?
Definitely not a genius or smart
I'm an introvert myself, and sometimes, I question my brain processes and it makes me do dumb things.
Wow, what an enlightening video! It's such a relief to see a content creator shedding light on the positive aspects of introversion and the incredible potential introverted geniuses hold. This video not only celebrates the unique traits of introverts but also empowers them to embrace their strengths and make the most of their talents. Thank you for reminding us that being introverted doesn't mean we can't achieve greatness; it just means we have a different way of approaching the world. Truly inspiring and encouraging! 🌟
I'm probably more an introvert idiot😂
dw ur not alone 💀
You mean a foolish introvert?
Don't worry that's fine.
me too🥲
same lol
Brilliant video! As an introverted genius myself, it's so heartwarming to see these signs celebrated and understood. Embracing our unique strengths is the key to unlocking our full potential. Thank you for spreading positivity and appreciation for introverted minds! 🥰
I doubt if I'm an introvert genius. But some of these do describe me a bit. I like people but I do prefer to be alone, as a kid I never followed any latest craze or fad that was popular at the time. However one sign fits me the most and it what gets me upset all the time is that I feel clueless a few things; why this sign upsets me the most is because of the relationship with my late father. No matter what I do even in my adulthood is that he always say "Quit acting stupid!" To me. If I make one simple mistake or if I forget something or if I have trouble remembering people's names to go with their faces he belittles me and puts me down, treating me liked I'm meantaly unable to take care of myself. Also he thinks of me this way because I'm mildly autistic and because I still love to watch cartoons I mean come on lots of adults still watches cartoons otherwise we wouldn't have shows liked the Simpsons or Family Guy; but with him it's "Your head is always on those stupid cartoons. No wonder you act stupid all the time." What hurts me meantaly to this day is that he died not realizing that he is wrong about me and never once told he was sorry for how he treated me to the end.
I'm sorry if this bumming you kind folks out but I had to get it off my chest I guess when I watched videos like this
Try to contextualize that when you think about it;
what good is the opinion of a dead guy?
Rando hint of the day.
Carry on guy.
I love this video.
So glad I started watching this channel again! I love learning more about my personality.
Thank you so much for your videos, after 40 years I nearly can accept what I am one day can maybe deal with it.
It is a big relief to me, because I can stop thinking about why I could be wrong in this world.
Now I am looking forward what I can do now with it now to make it useful for me and for others.
Thanks for sharing this video! It was really helpful and informative.
I'm a male Infj(29) that was tested out at genius level around 135,sometime when I was in elementary school.was Wiagnosed with adhd very young,but im not so sure about that now. Probably somhwere on a the spectrum though. Cannabis is very helpful for my mind. I've always been about to excell at most thing i do. i do have the issue of anlysis porasisis with many of my hobbies especially music. I find when i take breaks from things i like so much i spend most of my time doing them, i can get back to doing what comes naturally to me.
Being able to perceive different perspectives
I always feel intrigued by your amazing videos, keep on uploading more interesting videos. 😊
Hardest part of all of this is understanding and explaining yourself without coming off as a standoffish know it all. I suppress it. Even now I don’t know if I’m legitimately connecting with this video or if I just want to because it strokes an ego.
Amazing video as always!! i feel identificated with some of these aspects.
Loove the art style of the characters btw, they look cute haha
it describes me so well
the fact that my personality is ISTJ this is most certainly accurate
My personality is ISTP
Unfortunately the Myer Briggs test isn't very consistent or reliable. The OCEAN test is the most agreed upon bc it can predict things about you very well, while also being repeatable and reliable

Yup that’s me and I was 40 before someone tested, observed and told me - It explained A LOT ! And knowing why things are different for you or don’t always work out is crucial for your selfesteam and makes you Think more positive about yourself and your future possibilities
Please do a video on the link between high intelligence and cognitive and/or personality disorders.
I fit in the most of the topics, and its nice to see than ur video can understand me better than my friends and even family, thank you a *lot* ❤
Bro why the heck is her voice soo calming to my mind i just want to listen to it all day
Your expination flattens my brain that it made it smooth
I am actually pretty happy that I relate to them all, I mean I watched the full video and I found myself to completely match to it. But people around me don't see me as a person who has potential, they often ignore my strength.
wow this really described me. Love your content
So I fit the video perfectly, I mean like PERFECTLY on the things fit on me, such as the hobies, like learnig new languages as was displayed in video, or the overthinking.
Even the thinks that were not said, but were displayed just fitted perfectly on me.
Your voice is so soothing💙
I always tried to fit in somewhere, and would blame myself when I wouldn't. I think I've ended up wasting a lot of years trying to. It's like I fit in "partially" with a group here and there. Outside of having to be around people to make a living, I end up spending most of the rest of my time alone, either reading up on some of my interests, taking care of necessary tasks and chores, etc. I AM finally getting a much better sense of "self". I'm 56, so it's a little later than I wish I would have. Such is life.
The music fits in PERFECTLY
Well done! I agree.
This channel has helped me understand myself a lot," since I was a little people called the crazy coco 🥥 for questioning a lot, learning is being my passion since I was 4 years old only my grandma used to understand me❤
I fit a lot of things of on this list but also have a terrible memory and I have problems with observing things probably due to ADHD from what I tried to research. Anyway these videos are very interesting and relaxing so thank you for making them.
Welp, I hit all but one of those... but wow, those were so surprisingly accurate to me!
I probably need to work on my "sense of self" & become more confident so I can better reach my full potential as a person, so thank you for helping me realize that!
Truly obsessed in this yt channel❤🎉
I can relate to each 'n' every sign!
And here is some life advice. Every future boss you have is going to utterly hate you for being a individualist and forward thinker. If its not their way its the you're fired way. Despite any significant advancement you find by thinking "outside their box". You are best suited to creating your own work. By Being an entrepreneur. Find a market and build a business in work you enjoy doing. Or for an introverted genius, you are only a burden in the machine trying to be a working cog like the rest. For which you never will be.
That is what I learned.
Tnks for video. I like your voice.
I love that there’s captions
Now I know I'm deffinetly not a genius 😅 Thanks for this video, your voice is co calm and warm :D
all of these fit me so well
well then
Great video
The thumbnail is just adorable ^^
These are the words I like to hear.
I have such a good sense of my self that i know im not a genius
I love this video because it reassures me that I'm definitely an introvert but not a genius 😂😂😂. I have all the or almost all the traits of an introvert but nearly non of the traits of high intelligence. The only traits of high intelligence i have is i don't fit, i like to learn (specific things though), and I like to analyze things (almost to the point of obsessive)
One of my favorite frases was
"why they don't get it "
Until I realized why they don't. Thanks for this video 💕💗💕
Yes, yes I do relate. Quiet is one of my favourite books. I could not put it down and read it in one sitting.
thanks for sharing this content my friend Godbless you
I grasp the information in more than one sense
Her voice is soo sweet ❤
I’m early btw I love your videos ❤❤❤
ok this is LITERALLY me.
unbelievable haha every point was exactly my day to day life
once a new math teacher joined in our school when I was in 8th grade & he used to take our class,but he always told me I'm not focussing in class,belived & told others that I'm gonna fail and many more but i didn't know any of these untill he told me these😂
so what happened was after result he got me stand up in the class and asked me only one thing,how did you take the exam? (I was like what? did he gone mad or something? what kind of qn is it? no one asked me this before) you don't focuss in my class,even though I'm teaching everything in such a way that elementary student will understand & when I ask you the Simplist common sense, you can't answer it? How did you do this good on exam then gave my result, & told me how he used to think about me 💀 but he got to know me well after long time, then after the final result, when we got into the new class & got new teacher,he was so understanding,he observed all of us & tried to figure out how everyone in our class was he told me about how type of student I actually was, he was the one who told me that I can solve critical questions that others can't but I can't solve the simplest one cause I think in a difficult way😊
I never got to be the 1st one during school cause even after getting amazing grade in difficult subjects, l used to have less grade in subjects that had no difficult thinking like language, religious,socials ,, & that affected my results a little too 🙂
I am no genius but I am slowly becoming aware of that which I’m lacking
Improving is better than being gifted from the start in my opinion
Like Zuko from the last airbender said
I’ve always had to struggle and that’s made me strong
Made me into who I am
I can relate somewhat :)
I relate to all of it tbh and plus I’m selective when it comes to who I want in my life or a specific person I want
Can you please make a video about therapist friends?
I want to be one myself but so bad at giving advice and graduated yesterday so want to be more comfortive the next school I go to!
It doesnt have to be a video it can be just a comment about tips 😅
My family would always push "common sense" on me, indirectly making me feel like I was an idiot. Nowadays though, I just don't care. We all see the world differently than others, and some of us interact with that world differently. Not my problem that they don't understand me; frankly I like it that way. (If this sounds a bit harsh to anyone, note: my family is a big source of some childhood trauma, so yes I'm bitter towards some of them in secret)
I definitely have many interests and feel that I also don't fit in. One of the things that I find hard is that I can't seem to find decent people who have common interests to me. I find it difficult when I have no one to share the things I love with, as most people dismiss the things I like entirely, rather than taking at least a small interest in my hobbies, like I do for theirs.
Of course I do fit with the signs mentioned but at times always good to be with friends time by time also there is other that also needs an honorable mention that is to Steven Hawkins he to is a genius and very knowledgeable same with the Reggae legend Bob Marley he to is very knowledgeable
You described me on a video
And I love that
I'm not sure if I'd label myself as a "genius", but as a child I was always trying to fit in with people because I was afriad of being left out and being seen as the "freak" of the school, because of that I was in the wrong friend groups and trying to fit in with the wrong people. I kept asking my "friends" if they were friends or if they were just my way of getter through life, they said the latter, I always asked myslef why I hung out with these people but never took it to heart. I was bullied a lot in elementary school and by my own biological father (long story) so I withdrew into my phone and watching TV and/or playing video games. Now as a 22 year old adult I am very afraid that I've missed my chance at living a life and I'll never live up to my potential as a "genius". I've begun to stop watching so much TV and to actually take it upon myself to read more and study more and be the person I want to be. I've always had a passion for science and engineering and biology but I've never studied it. Because of my aspergers I was always in a sense of depression and I worried I would always be in that depression so I never had the true confidence to move out of my fog. I just hope that I'm not to late.
I’m re-watching this because I fit every single thing.
I often think I’m dumb, because I’m not like anyone else.
Being kinda clueless is a big shocker for me, that’s why I feel kinda dumb. I’m sorta clueless, even though I know who I am and what I want.
If everything says I’m not dumb, but instead I am always judging myself like I am.
I make stupid mistakes because I want to find out what happens and other things too
I am so very observant in my environment, that I feel strange for being this way. It's odd, I feel like I'm *too* observant. I'm also clueless and often feel I don't fit in. My friends consider me more social , but I'm starting to believe that they're just anti-social! 😅 I am definitely not a genius, but I am certainly introverted. :) Explains much about me.
As a man with all the traits while living in pain
i dont see this as an absolute win
oh god, im the most clueless person alive
i literally didn't know about weird stuff until this year as a 14 year old and one of my female friends had to teach me what periods were. despite that, i was called for living under a huge rock since i didn't even know normal tiktok songs which were trending or something. however, i would always rather engage into history, maths, geography and stuff because i found them so interesting to do. i wasn't allowed to use social media until last year and i'd see everyone with phones watching yt shorts or more tiktok. i was jealous until i realised this wasn't actually a bad thing. i kind of started appreciating myself for living under a rock at an early age since it has so much benefits to you yourself.
pls tell if you can relate :)

Can confirm
I soend way too much time in math daydreaming and the same in some other subjects
My best friend is the perfect definition of this, so I clicked on the video to see if that might be true clinically, instead of just what our friend group dubbed him. Not only does he perfectly fit everyone of these, but for some reason, so do I. I am the biggest extrovert ever lol
INTP here! Yesss it’s me the weirdo the alien 👽 😂😂
PS. Another lists is very sharp intuition ❤
Highly creative, graphic artist, musician. I can fix almost anything, handy with tools. I don’t get energy from being around too many people, too many people are a drain on my energy.
I relate to just about all of these
this fits me so well it is unsettling
Sometime I wonder if I will be an untold genius
i hope to grow into a genius
How about long retention and memory? Or ready access to previously learned material and previous experiences?
I thought my brother would fit this😂
I hate when everybody tries to be my friend.
I like to select my friend, not getting selected by others
Totally off question but if you have a rude friend but they don’t know they’re being rude would they be a fake friend?
All expect the last one are more or less relatable and true for me making me feel a bit better for myself knowing that even if I'm a lonely pringle I have some working brain there at least 😂 That also proves that my bestie is more likely to be a hurt extrovert rather than an introvert since I kinda suspected that is the reason we relate so much to each other but we are too far from each other at the same time! (I don't call her stupid just recently I watched this one video showing the differences between introvert and hurt extrovert too and it looked she would relate to the stuff stated in the video there)
I hold no traits of genius only knowledge I have gathered over my life do not mistake those words for a lack of confidence but a desire to always seek.
In turn I wonder at times what the line between my own madness maybe even though I also see a degree logic.
I am a programmer, a dreamer and have a eye that seeks ever last detail.
I equally enjoy the nature of the mind it's self as a enigma most beautiful.
Thanks for another cute video 😊 🙏🏻
As for me, I prefer solitude and creativity. But I do enjoy creative discourse with a clever fellow Being who brings a sharp wit to the table.
One Young Lady in particular has fascinated me time and again. Whether She's aware of it or not, that's a huge turn-on for this Boy. And ... sharp eye for obscure detail, long-term memory, super-complex planning & execution (typically scheming to get one over on me) ... oh, heck yea. I'd probably wring Her neck when She pulls Her stunts on me, but I'm usually too busy being amused and downright impressed by it. She has crossed the line a few times, and I let Her know. I have had to fire the proverbial Shot Across the Bow a few times. But ... gotta admit ... this Young Lady was born to impress. And yes ... ALL boxes checked in bold here.
Couldn't be prouder of my young (semi-evil) Genius Friend. And She knows whom She is.

ALL of these line up with me.
But I don't feel comfortable even calling myself intelligent, let alone a "genius".
I know enough to know how little I actually know & usually assume I'm the least intelligent in the room.
The difference is I'm in my head all the time. So I think about things those who aren't, don't.
I'm sure if they where also in their head all the time they'd think of many the same things.
So I'd say its less connected to intelligence & more so priorities & interests.
I love your voice ❤️
At this point of my age, i don't have any urge to fit in anymore. I'd rather be alone.
