7 Reasons Why Highly Intelligent People Are Less Happy

- Here are 7 reasons why highly intelligent people are less happy. Intelligence is a very important part of life, but it does not guarantee happiness. So, what are the struggles only highly intelligent people have? For starters, smart people have fewer friends, and it is often hard for them to find love. And since they’re usually introverts who have high standards and a tendency to overanalyze things, more often than not, highly intelligent people prefer to be alone.
Furthermore, highly intelligent people struggle with depression and anxiety more than average humans because of their high expectations for themselves and others around them. This can lead them to feel lonely or isolated.
While intelligence has many advantages, there are certainly some downsides of being highly intelligent.

The burden of being highly intelligent is that you often know too much, and this might rob you of your happiness.
☹️
I just switched to a new field of work and everyone with 15-30 years experience,I surpassed them within 3 months and became the go to guy at work,it made my life hell😭😭😭😭, help😢😢
I have all 7 traits and was told in school I was below average IQ. Now in my 60's I am reminded by everyone around me that I am very intelligent. Too late. My formative years were damaged by conservative narrow minded teachers in rural Ireland.
It's never too late, I was treated the exact same way as I never complied with the norms.
I am now in my 40's and today I start my own business in Art. Never ever give up on yourself as long as you are alive and breathing.
I know the feeling only,too well,at least you,know you are bright,i dont care what people say i know i can spell,
I'm from sir Lanka, agree with you 100%
I think school only measures a very small part of intelligence. I struggled in school but did well enough to get by. I have ADHD and have a hard time paying attention but it was hard to diagnose because my IQ is high. The issue is is I just have a lot of unnecessary information because I can retain Information that I’m interested in but when it comes to some thing that is boring to me it is hard for me to remember it. I honestly think that our school system is set up just to memorize things. There’s a lot of facts that I know just because I’ve heard them enough. But when I got older I actually investigated more into the facts. For example with history American history and history in the United States is very narrowly taught. I’ve elaborated on the information I’ve learned as an adult well past what I ever could’ve imagine learning as a child. I honestly learn a lot from books and TH-cam. (I just love the feeling of paper back though and going on adventures to the library).
That being said I am absolutely horrible at math I can remember numbers but it takes me a while to do advanced math like algebra. I like geometry but it’s only because it comes up a lot and architecture and I’m really interested in building things. But that’s pretty much as far as that goes.
The only thing that stops a person from success is usually oneself.
I'm seldom socialising, because it's boring, and a time waste, not being interested into gossip & smalltalk. I can tick all the boxes...and being overthinking things quite often...which causes emotional stress, but not from that alone. Into some ways, perfectionism is killing it.
@@peacefulhuman8725 Yes, i know, say this often to myself.
I feel that, growing up, intelligence was measured by how well you could read a textbook and pass a test (which was not for me), whereas now intelligence is measured by your creativity, grit, and all things not taught in a traditional school setting.... And to think I was deemed stupid because school was not for me.
Know is one is think,what we lack in one,we gain in another,god gave us all,different gift's,and we could be here a life time,and still not know every thing,the only brighted man too walk ,on the earth was jesus, a men,
Yeah, because schools and universities are satanic indoctrination centers that are meant to make and keep you a dumb, system-conforming slave following the herd of other sheeples not questioning things you ought to.
School doesn't teach you to be smart. It just teaches you to follow the rules and not step out of line.
“Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know” -Earnest Hemingway
Again, that statement comes from one intelligent man. What does he know about the happiness of 98% of the other hi-IQ people? Nothing! ;)
'Cause he never looked too far
#8. They feel they are surrounded by people that don’t “get it”.
And it's true. They don't. We are also more likely to figure out when a conspiracy is going on.
I find this interesting, because growing up I remember explaining/debating with people that "dumb" people are always happier than intelligent people. - (Now that I am a lot older, I can admit being jealous occasionally of the obliviously ever-happy bubble heads)
Isn't that funny, I did too without realising that I was unhappy because of my intelligence. I thought it was the other way around, the way people treated me, was like I was the bubble head.
With respect, I have some difficulty reconciling your self-perception with your chosen cypher: "Fuck Putin".
Because as one of my favourite authors said: knowing a lot is real is real sick and knowing a lot will bring you pain, i think he was right after all the who doesn't know or dont wanna know is more happy without sad facts
It is true that ignorance is bliss.
It's not that highly intelligent people are less happy, it's just that they tend to be more realistic about the world around them and their place within it. They know that happiness is not a guarantee, and that life can be difficult at times. They also understand that success is not always based on intelligence or talent, but rather hard work and perseverance.
Therefore, instead of chasing after happiness, which may or may not come, they focus on other things that are more important to them such as relationships, family, and personal achievement. In other words, they find fulfillment in things that are lasting and meaningful rather than fleeting moments of happiness.
I am from India
I am introvert
And i love your channel
Keep it up 😘
Feels more like a curse than a gift. Makes people not understand why i am the way i am.
You have to find a guy intelligent as you to be your friend
And this guy will understand why you are the way you are
I have high standards. I tend to analyze many things. I don't care about socializing! I'm an introvert, an INFJ. But I do like to talk to those people I like and of course my family.
I so do love this video! Thanks, "Brainy Dose," for ever-yielding such solidarity, validation, & ultra-useful intel! Have an awesome evening, everyone! Peace out!💜🌍
Love ya BRAINY DOSE. You just described me to a T once again. i don't have any addictions though. There's one trait you forgot to mention-HIGHLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR STUPIDITY OR UNNECESSARY B.S. FROM PEOPLE!
Yeah, very true! I cut off many people when they're painfully naive and make disgustingly dumb decisions.
@@undyingsoul3949 thank you for your comment. i know i'm not the only one who thinks like this. stay at peace and protect it like your life depends on it. have a safe peaceful holiday season. Paul
Downloaded thank you so much. 😊 Have a fantastic day!💯
Sometimes people deliberately choose to be happy with their true nature or dissatisfied and try to please people, but they will certainly not please themselves, that is an assurance.
Ignorance is truly bliss. There is no denying this. Ignorance is like complacency though, it kills.
I love learning more. Thank you so very much. ❤
Brainy Dose.. I knew over analyzing was coming.. And less socializing. 🙏 Thank you ❤️. Always searching for more, new and challenging stuff.
This guy's voice is a medicine in itself. 👍 👌
I have often thought of my 'intelligence' as malignant. Far too often, I find the fly in the ointment. It is not that anyone around me notices. Early in my life, I instinctually learned to fake interest. And that did not make me very proud of myself. I intensely dislike conflict. A workable solution to this is to employ gentle sarcasm and wittiness. However, even this technique is not a panacea. Sometimes your listener is hurt because they take things literally. That was a lesson I came to learn as I grew older in my career and younger people in my crew would mature. The number of people who then told me I had scared them or intimidated them when they were just beginning their careers in the film industry made me feel terrible. The worst example came when a woman whom I adored and had known for over thirty years finally told me she had always found me intimidating. I continuously found myself baffled by appearing to be a walking contradiction. As a commercial director, crew members signed on to my work before anyone else's spot in the production house. I nearly always ended up with Number One crews. One of the best cinematographers in the business whom I worked with many times told me (when I confided in him my dark secret) said something in response that helped. "They said you intimidated them. They didn't say they disliked you. You nearly always get the best people. People who are good at their chosen field like to be challenged; like to learn." That gave me a new perspective and I quit trying to twist myself into a pretzel trying to please everyone. Nonetheless, being bright is isolating and exhausting. Sure, the perks are great, if you succeed at your chosen vocation. Learning how to live with yourself, however, is an entirely different story. I have a poem that I placed into a silver frame. It is by the British writer Thomas Hardy, one of the great 19th -century novelists and 20th-century poets. The poem is entitled "The Darkling Thrush". It comes very near to being a perfect example of how really 'brainy' people feel. Look it up.
Thanks so much for clarification !
Thank you so much! I asked my other son a few hours ago why are the meek and stupid so blessed? Ok, didn't mean to refer to any religion. We all are limited when it comes to intelligence. I've always been "a melancholy man" though some may think I've made it whatever that means. I appreciate your site and insight.
As a kid my teachers and even the principal would tell me I was really smart, tbh I thought they just told every kid that so I never took it seriously.
Now, as an adult I realized they weren't bullshitting. I have such a hard time making friends cause I only want to talk about things other people see as taboo, crazy, complicated or "boring".
The "friends?" I have now either ignore them or just say damn bro that's crazy.
So depressing.
Intelligent ppl know that we are all in this alone... together! The common bond of life IS: the uncertainty of death! ❤🇺🇸
As crazy as it sounds, I agree!
I consider myself reasonably intelligent but not to the extent of highly intelligent. But I relate to six out of seven signs. I may have to look into this further.
If they are emotionally intelligent, that's Good, 👍
Thanks guys for the great lessons of the day ❤
This can also apply to people who are average intelligent via book smart and life experienced. The drugs don’t have to be hard, or involved; the person could challenge that aspect into sex, or food addiction.
Thank you Sir i learned alot i highly appreciated it all your videos were amazingly created! 👍👍👍
Very informative video I liked it I liked how there was no swearing in it or cursing and it was just very opinionated and informative great work
👍🏻😊Amazing Video!!!
Ignorance is bliss and intelligent people lack ignorance....thus they lack blissful feelings.
I am not agree with the use or abuse of drugs by intelligent people. If you are enough intelligent you already know this is not an intelligent idea.
it depends on what things to do. I can be happy intellegent person and go in nature and still feeling happy, it depends of places and things.
Just look at the state of the world and how so many people accept it as it is and can't understand it is what it is because we all collectively make it what it is and we all have the capacity and the potential and the power to make it so much better and so much more humane and yet nothing changes. No wonder intelligent people get fed-up with the status quo. Ignorance needs to be bred out of existence so humanity can finally evolve!
Not so sure about the drug or alcohol issues. Intelligent people know that addictions in those types of substances never end well. I sincerely doubt that some people actually do become addicted as they know better than to start using drugs.🤔❤🇺🇸
that's right
I think (and speaking from my own experience) that when you do get addicted to drugs, you can quit much easier than a "normal" person would. That's what makes intelligent people different from others, you know when to stop.
@@bumblebee_ms I agree. Was a chronic weed smoker I would smoke almost every hour of the day. Then I woke up one day and decided to quit and I haven’t smoked a joint since, it’s been months
@@dontworry2113 That's amazing, keep it up. I did the same, but with hard ones.
Nah, im decently intelligent and have always struggled with substances. I have an engineering degree, am a certified somm, and pro poker player.
This is from the bible
Ecclesiastes 1:18
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Thanks
Thanks alot
You just described me
Just a sad effing life being too smart in certain areas and realizing too late you made the wrong career moves.
Because we see all the deranged things society is doing around us and pushing our buttons real hard.
Here I'm, watching this video and thinking to myself 'oh my God, I must be a genius!'
Hahahahahahaaaa!!!...me too!
on the second point of overthinking , i have to because ive seen many times what complacency does and how catastrophic the results are , i cant afford to be complacent i cant afford to turn off my phone i shouldnt even go to sleep
Kind'a known, as they are quite self-experienced
I don’t know if I am or not. By God’s grace I have not allowed myself to even once take a drink, pot or drugs. I could see in me the possibility of lacking self control.
I do have several of the ADDs that are in the ADHD diagnoses.
When I do confront someone in the wrong, it will beat me up, the concern that I might be wrong.
I have had depression and PTSD.
Sometimes people feel that I am being negative about something when I really seeing ways it could go wrong.
I don’t know if I am but so much of this matches me.
Now throw in sarcasm and I would go oops! It must be me.
Please give the subtitle. It will be more helpful for us. Thank you..
Spot on, sir! Subscribe worthy! Oh wait im already subscribed.
This video is very good it's true that's why you can't make more friends to intelligent😊
Great sharing
Interesting. A lot of these traits are in people with ADHD
A lot of the people who grew up in severe dysfunction have overlapping traits in CPTSD, ADHD, BPD and Codependency.
This also includes introversion since we don't fit into "normal" society. It really makes sense.
Yayy I'm the first to watch and to comment
Undoubtedly you must care enough because you took the time to reply.
What is the relationship of intelligence to ethics? Are intelligent people more or less ethical than average? What role does competitive for profit capitalism play in the ethics of intelligent people? Are unethical intelligent people rewarded for being unethical? How can laws help capitalism to reward intelligent and ethical people?
I guess I'm a BRAINIAC! However, I'm a critical care doc in level I trauma and my experience is that I have not seen too many brainiac meth, heroin, etc. addicts or raging alcoholics. However, there are definitely brainiac pot heads, alcoholics, and pill poppers. This is why I like my cats. There I go overanalyzing again.
I was labeled dumb, LoL now I'm smarter than most around me and I don't brag, it's not there fault. Maybe this channel should start there own dating site.
Really intelligent people don’t have to tell people they’re really intelligent educated people have to tell people they’re really intelligent.
So weird. I’m not at all intelligent, but I check off ALL of the boxes mentioned here 🤔
You may be underestimating yourself 🙏🏼
@@LivT04 I was just about to say that.
Agreee.
The less human interaction the better
Their vast and voluminous personal total perspective of the world keeps them mentally busy almost 24/7.
.
.
I suffer from all of these negative traits which actually causes me to be unsuccessful and unable to figure things out.
My IQ is not above average either so I must not be intelligent even though I suffer from the same exact things geniuses do?
I'm too obsessive, analytical, and selective to function properly.
We worry too much about every little thing.
There’s a potential from a certain perspective this could be seen as negative trait apologist video. I’m curious what your sources are ?
Exactly ! But itś just because I´m intelligent, also not sure, if highly...
You just described ADHD
Actually contrary to this video and popular belief, truly intelligent and wise people are indeed happy and joyful. If you knew any better you wouldn't allow your-self to be miserable seeing that in doing so, you only lose and miss out.
being a "highly intleleglent" infj, its almost certain doom haha; however this may help this TH-cam channel I am working on launching succeed 🤷♂
I wish i was stupid and happy
Do you have any references for these? I'd love to learn more about this.
It can't be true! That most of the Intelligent person's are always less happy.
"Always," is a very large word that covers an enormous area.
@Sarkar - I think that we can be happy at times, but mostly not.
Turn into a slob and your happiness is likely to average only 1-day a week? Hi-IQ or not!
What’s the remedy?
Audio playback please
It's like explaining me😢
Doesn't always mean you are intelligent if you are unhappy and lonely, the ones with more intelligence will find ways to overcome unhappiness, also letting other people around feel that you ignore them is not a smart action, means you are not intelligent enough, because when they realize you don't care about them, they can take some disturbing actions against you. If you are intelligent enough you must not make others notice that you think they are idiot.
Because they have to deal with less intelligent people.
Exactly! Spot on. It's so hard to find intelligent people to have a good conversation with.
Most people love gossip and idle chit chat.
I think smart people are happy people
I must be a goddam genius because im miserable.
Wait! Highly intelligent people are more likely to develop OCD? No Wonder!. Damn
Video playback please
I have a high iq and my life is hard. I can´t share with others, it´s really frustrating and sad.
What if I’m highly intelligent, I’m just not very smart.
Why do we fear auditions even😢. How can we face public if we want to become an stage artist or a public speaker😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
3nov22 yes and no. I do have a very busy mind, with high standards, but I hate being alone. Not an introvert. I consider Introvertion, is selfish.
Increased knowledge increases your sorrow.
5👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋 absuttly.
Ignorance is bliss
Real intelligent people are those who choose happiness instead of intelligence.
Because intelligent individuals see into everything.. for Example people sending others to you to distract you from what you're doing trying to get you upset.. prepared destruction is to organized crime as predestined is to life.. petty petty petty petty Petty..
I hate it when you are 10 steps ahead of everyone. Real downer
Yepyeeh
Well the thing is here, Im considered weird because of these traits 😅
Omg you know me so well
I don't care what people think. They'd actually have to do that.
❤
Can you really find ways to overcome though??
I don't feel more intelligent than the average person, but I overthink to the point of questioning existence and why we are all here. We are just part of the life cycle, and our existence will be completely forgotten about eventually.
Yes really.its true😢😢😢😢
This video is too short!
Thank God im still dumb. Because this feels so exhausting
I smoke so much weed to slow my brain down but it's slowed too many parts now over time
