Do you feel smart after watching this video? Have we succeeded in elevating your ego? ;) Everyone is smart in their own ways, and we want you to know that.
Bc I haven't found the timestamps yet I'mma make my own so here y'all go: 0:57 - Psychological problems 1:54 - Night owls 2:52 - High expectations 3:38 - Overexcitable & high energy 4:48 - Overanalyzing things 5:52 - Can become super stressed 6:50 - Outro
Well there are a lot of average or below average people. I don't think people should be ashamed of being below average because it isn't their fault. But unless you've had an official IQ test you don't know. More intelligent people apparently have more doubts about their intelligence, I've heard. Also there are other qualities that are very important too. Some smart people are terrible in other ways and lots of smart people do poorly in life.
I am insecure about my age... I always have to act different cause I would look really weird if not- I have only friends that are older than me and I have the feeling that they are still younger than me it’s so weird haha
"They have high expectations" is so true. Teachers keep saying im smart, but when i get a low grade and everyone is surprised, it just makes me crash and burn and it ruins my self esteem
That's happened to me once when we were playing a fun game in class (keep in mind this was for FUN) and I missed it and on the big screen in the classroom it didn't show names. But someone said "who got that one wrong? " I just sat in the back quietly. Ofc the person in front of me just HAD to be nosy and they looked at my screen and said very loudly "she did! " and everyone looked at me laughing and I felt terrible. Like big deal I got one wrong. Cmon ppl it was a fun TRVIA game. I can't be this awesome all the time yknow.
Yeah, I also kinda hate that word in general too, because it assumes that you never had to work for your skills and were simply "built different". And people can't accept that not everything will be a breeze, like you said.
7. No one who understands you. 8. Being judged for over-doing your work. 9. Called lazy. 10. Getting bullied/ picked at. These are the problems I face at school being smart and yes, I have all of these over my life... I'd really appreciate it if you added these points too. Thank you Psych2Go!
Youd have to be an ididot to follow the Standart "smart" by Psych2Go. There are people with photographic/Eidetic/../ memories remembering every intricate detail they have done/said/learned/thought/internalised/acted/what everyone else has said.. and more. People who innately comprehend material the level of Masters with confirmation from students or teachers that it is a difficult subject to master let alone by a glance look into it and know more than the teacher has been taught. My moms cousin is an alcoholic he lives in his apartment covered with books, his bed has sanked in stolen/bought books he might or might not be intelligent but for someone like him to exist comparable to me who barerly reads the amount he does per day, it's hard to think I'm even slightly intelligent instead dumb stupid pathetic loser - that's literally what I am every day
8 and 9 are exactly how my life is. It’s weird how you can over do work and still be “lazy.” I can’t really agree with 7 because I never talk about my feelings, I was raised to know that it is only for bad people, so nobody can really understand me or not if I don’t give them anything to understand. For 10, luckily where I live finding a bully is like finding a four leaf clover. They’re very rare.
I don't express my feelings either but there is a sense in people whether how the person is feeling. I have that feeling but as no one really likes me alot and I get bullied half the time on school, I can't help anyone. But then there is this sense. I agree with you.
@@Pikachu-nj3cx Sorry about all that bullying, that sucks. I get what you mean on where people can sense others’ feelings, and I do agree that people can be bad at sensing my feelings. I’ll sit alone at lunch a lot of the time at school and people think it’s because I’m sad and lonely so they try to sit next to me and cheer me up, but in reality I’m only alone because I want to be alone and I couldn’t be happier.
@Beair Thank you so much... Things have been rough at home everyday since my parents business blew up and they are never home (Probably since I was 7)... It really sucks but I appreciate your care and concern for me... Peach out to you too.
I mean ur pfp is from diabolik lovers..so yeah u prob are but then..The guy in the picture is kanato- and his character design is not bad so..Nevermind we'r all idiots
At least you don't have to go through all the stress that us intelligent people have. Intelligence is like a superpower. It works when it works, but can weaken the user.
I think that's what makes us lucky. The problems we have gives us more opportunities and chances to be stronger and more successful than an average person. Because in trying to resolve these personal problems that we have, we learn a lot and become better and stronger. It's just my opinion though.
I believe that while traditional IQ is an important measure of intelligence, you need to have understanding and wisdom as well. Intelligence without the ability to truly grasp it would be a curse.
agreed. I find a lot of people hating against using an IQ saying it's inaccurate, but really, I reckon it just comes down to what you value most (aspects)

I would say the genuine people who watched this video truly suffer from theese problems. I don't think they would lie about having theese issues since it's nothing to brag about. I clicked on this video just for curiosity, and at the end i became really sad knowing that i might develop a mental disorder
@@xxMistiK Right, I have all of these problems and am just starting to realise that there is a possibility that I am somewhat high IQ Lmao. I love myself now.
Recently my grades have been dropping a little and I noticed how I felt like a failure for having an 84 in science. This video helped me realize that I need to destress and focus on what is important.
I can safely admit here, that I find quarantine to be a HUGE blessing that has given me weeks, months and even years of peace and tranquility I never believed I would experience. My deepest sympathies to those of you who have lost loved ones. After seventy years that included hundreds of dreadfully painful days, trying my best to "fit in and enjoy" family gatherings (holidays being the worst), Covid, in all it's forms, has given me the one impenetrable excuse, with absolutely no guilt or judgement, to say "no" and stay home. Yes, I'm a Mensan. And, yes....I am occasionally lonely. It quickly passes.
One of my professors once said: smart people struggle with motivation/procrastination because they never had to struggle much initially. Unlike people who have to learn how to overcome struggles, we are not taught how when life eventually gets hard. It can be especially hard to ask for help when people see you, or you perceive yourself, as the smart one who should have the answers.
this is so true as a someone who is seen as a “smart student” people always have high expectations of me and think that im hardworking and all but in reality it’s really hard to find motivation to do something and it’s even harder to ask for help because everyone sees me as the kid who knows it all so im always terrified that people will think lesser of me if i ask for help, thinking im dumb and will become disappointed of me
Ahhh, I've heard this a lot, and I never really believed it until maybe two years ago. It's begun to resonate with my current situation in school, because everything has been increasing in difficulty and I've always expected myself to be able to accomplish what I need to. It's been quite taxing struggling to build up motivation and incentive that I really did take for granted a while back. Your professor speaks an honest truth, and I hope my school takes note of this and begins to reach out more to the students whose performance has been changing because of their own internal struggles and expectations.
Why do you have to hit me this hard.. I grew up having to take care of myself, because at age 4 my parents got divorced and were constantly working. So i had to not only raise myself but also my little brother. And on top of that, i had already started teaching myself english in grade 2 due to my dad jumping on the early train for computers. Unfortunately, i am not as gifted in terms of aim as Shroud
Alright, i know what you meant. But, beeing faster than light doesn't necessarely mean you will always be in darkness, tecnically speaking. I'm lazy now, so i don't want to explain it... Just think about it, if you are faster than light you won't be reachead by the light behind you, but the light in your front will stil bright your way.
@@adamant8435 His/ Her brother didn't have the symptoms in this video and he said " I don't get it" and "I don't get it" is another way of saying "I don't know what you're talking about"
I'm one of the students who always got good grades in class but It always makes me feel ashamed when they ask me for answer that I don't know. Just because I have good grades doesn't mean I always know the answer. I'm also not your cheat sheet THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Yeah! Sometimes, if I get decent grades in tests or I’m just seen as kind of smart, it doesn’t mean I’d know the answer. As an unconfident person, I don’t have much pride in my answers and I don’t believe they’re correct most of the time, even if they are. This is why this video is something I can actually relate to because I’m always scared of getting something wrong for the feeling of being judged by people around me.
@@rio5793 bruh, for me its gotten to the point where im ashamed for getting a question on a kahoot quiz wrong, or I dont end up in the top 5 ☠️ im grateful we rarely have to put our real names in because I’d feel so bad for not meeting people’s expectations... on a kahoot quiz
@@pokaay3163 YES SO MUCH!! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve messed up on things I both understood and never understood! Thank gosh that it doesn’t show further than 5 ;-;
this definitely is me, one time in sixth grade i cried because i was so stressed over a project that had to be done in a few days, i worked for about 2-3 hours and then wrote seven paragraphs thinking it had to be perfect and then the next day when we shared our progress i realized everyone else who shared wrote a paragraph each
Oh yeah. I procrastinate and am a perfectionist, but if I get below an M (my school does B (Beginning) I (Intermediate) M (Mastery)) I feel like a failure. My family teachers and friends are always telling me that I shouldn't be scared of failure, but it TERRIFIES me. I've always been the "smart, good, responsible kid, who is the teachers pet" but it makes me soooo stressed and always want to be right. Like, I shouldn't need to answer every question the teaches ask, but I want them to know I try. Gods this went long, I'm sorry.
@@ninaarandomhunterofartemis962 I feel you, though it's a good experience to write long essays on a TH-cam comment lol 😆😆 Hope you're having a good time, and I guess I'm actually still struggling with that.
Another problem smart kids run into: having such an easy time in school they arrive in high school, or even college, without having developed any study skills at all.
not really me. i would consider myself a smart person, but i was never able to transfer my intelligence to tests. i always got a lot of bad results back
The worst part is when you struggle and people don’t believe you or think you can do anything because you’re smart, like, I can’t do 5 things at the same time!
Relatable i am always expected to do the best get A's and if not im just a dissapointment i mean what about them tryinh to force someone to their expectations....
@ARandomPerson 1273, and it hurts a lot because, when you get good grades or a good result, they give all the credit to your smartness and they don't see all the effort that you put in everything you do.
I always get straight A’s and I have always been put in advanced classes and I suffer from literally everything you mentioned in the video. My attention span is horrible, and I constantly overthink things. When someone makes a negative comment I spend hours at night thinking about it, and it drives me crazy. I really needed to see this video, thanks 😊
I've been in advanced classes (in a school that is a military school prep) since 2nd grade it's a struggle for me cuz people expect too much and I can't even keep up with non-advanced classes
I was labeled as “gifted” in school and have an IQ of at least 149, which was the lowest I was tested. It started after I would frequently get in trouble at school for interrupting lessons too much combined with often not paying attention. It wasn’t so bad until high school where I become much more intently focused on my social shortcomings. I became obsessed over finding friends I could form close bonds with, but failed to seem to fit in to connect with anyone in a genuine way. I could get along with anyone by mimicking social norms, but always felt lonely. Plagued by that as well as an obsession of the meaning of life I became hopeless. I didn’t know it at the time but I had a major depressive disorder that wasn’t diagnosed until my adulthood as well as social anxiety. What made things so much worse is that during this time of existential rumination I stopped putting any effort in school above the minimum required to not fail classes. My parents, which alway though me so smart, responded with unkind words, restrictions, and other behavior that made me just reject life entirely. I developed a drug habit as they had such a profound effect in bringing back my motivation which only alienated me more from my family. Life as an adult work has been trying as well. I pursued early childhood education and work with parents under the principles that would have helped me as a child. I am successful but constantly find friction with co-workers over my obsessive and over analytical nature. While they simply want to maintain the job status quo and keep the same effectiveness over time to lower job difficulty, I only want to make constant improvements and always strive to create even more work than is necessary. I chase a perfection (perfection that is unattainable, I know) but this frustrates my employers and coworkers. My life hasn’t improved much but I can cope much better than in my adolescence. I am of course a night owl as well and don’t seem to tire but I don’t find this aspect of my personality that trying. I hope to continue to help parents to approach their children with a mindset of nurturing. More than anything we need to know we are loved no matter the results of our tests or whether we go to a high level university. Our personality and effort need be celebrated while avoiding labels such as “smart” or “talented”, which can be a burden one feels for life.
It's actually true tho...cause u know what's happening because u have that ability but sometimes there are some things which would have been better if we did not know about...
Overthinking is a curse guys, sometimes i just want to cut my head off. Update: WOW , i´m so happy to see people talking with each other in the comments. i wish the best for everyone, be safe guys. Thank you.
That one exam where I somehow missed that there was one more question and I knew the answer so I would have had a perfect score. It was undergrad and I've been done with grad school for years. Yes, now I'm thinking about it again and stopped paying attention to the video. 😐
To this day I still remember my physics exam where I misread "electron" for "proton" and gave the exact opposite answer to all sub-questions of question 6.
@@XSemperIdem5 a similar experience happened to me, there was this Science test and I had this one definition which had two parts, I only wrote one part and ended up getting a 98% on that BECAUSE I DIDN'T ADD THE SECOND PART OF THAT DEFINITION, I still never forgave myself for that
in the part about developing psychological disorders, yes, people who are smart often have ADHD or ASD, but that is not caused/developed because of them being smart. you’re born with ASD, it means that our brains literally work differently. I know this is mainly a wording issue, but had to say this. (also if I’m wrong please correct me! this is just to the best of my knowledge)
"hey can u help me" "Hey can u teach me this" " Ur showing off" "We aren't friends u can't help me" "U don't even needa study" " Teachers pet" " U think ur perfect" "U just want attention" "I expected more from you" I literally feel Soo lonely since people only talk to me when they want help:(
I’ve stopped being that way. I srsly just built my character and started ignoring such comments politely by telling them to go ask the teacher or search it up and focus well. As I’ve started to ignore, they haven’t been coming to me for help. I built my character so that the other person thinks twice before approaching me for such questions and comments. It took time, effort, experience, downfalls.. but I’m trying my best :)
Oh my god same💞 A classmate just called me a nerdy freak and that I can never be trusted 2 months ago , now there are 5 assignments , so she wants my help. She's "sorry" that she was "mean" and she "didn't think this through" . HOW CAN YOU NOT THINK SUCH A BIG THING BEFORE BICKERING ABOUT IT !!! AND NOT APOLOGIZE FOR 2 MONTHS ????
The third one is so true for me. Since I was little, people had expectations for me to succeed. Even my classmates used to make comments like "if she doesn't know the answer, how am I supposed to?" and I felt kinda obligated to know everything.
I could relate to this the most too. My parents and classmates always assume I’m gonna do very, very well on everything I do in school and most of the time, that’s true for you and me, laurc. That pressure people don’t realize they’re putting on you to do well is annoying as hell and you stress and study more over a test than the people who actually need to study that long. You never are proud of you’re grades; they’re expected. The good grades never lift you up; just the bad ones that crush you. I’m just restating what everyone is saying in the comments but I’m getting it out of me with my own words so thanks for reading
@@lukeraffo I couldn't agree with you more. The part where you talked about grades is what hits me the most. They are always above 8.5 in a scale from 0 to 10 and when I get a slightly lower grade, it's like a nightmare.
@@laurcgaming4460 and the worst part is, in the end, your grades never really mattered at all. They have little to no impact on the majority of peoples lives. It’s about the other types of intelligence, not just regurgitation of facts. School sucks
What's worse is when you're so good at what you do that people just assume "Oh, no worries, I don't have to work as hard because the ol' genius here has it all under control!" NO YOU FOOLS, HELP ME OUT A BIT 😂😂
That is so true. A lot of my teachers they say that I am a very smart but my grade are bad, therefore I'm not studying hard enough Well, Im dyslexic and I have some health prob but I'm so used to it that I think it's normal cause I have been living with it my entire life and I exercise/gym to overcome it
I like how all of this basically confirms the old saying "ignorance is bliss." It really is. It's strange, then, that we all seem to have an inherent desire to NOT be ignorant.
"You should have a back-up plan tho , INCASE it doesn't work , chances of which happening are very high because people smarter than you exist but you're smart , you'll make it.... still get a back-up plan tho" ??? DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST DIE OR WHAT???
Omg thats so fucken true "i have no doubt that you will succeed flawlessly" oh rly ? Imagin if i could just be that clueless i would be so much happier
My biggest problem being the “smart kid” is that students often ask me questions before the teacher. Everyone expects me to have the answers. I’m also constantly worried about messing up because if I don’t understand something lots of other people will struggle as well.
Oh, interesting. Mine is that other students also ask me questions before the teacher too. The thing is when I tell them an answer then they ask me how I got it or something similar and I'm no good at explaining it and it takes time for them to understand. I have to repeat a couple of times before they get it.
I completely get that. Trying to explain something that I don’t understand is the worst. I have done it so much I’ve gotten good at it, which of course makes people ask more
Yes. But in my case when I don't understand sometimes and finally (not to often) I ask to my teachera... they expect to I already know the answer. ... That's why I ask them!
In my opinion the biggest problem smart people have is the easily overwhelming expectations of other people, it will never be good enough and people always expect more and more because you’re intelligent
uhm it's 4:38am and my alarm is on 7:30am (I'm gonna go on a trip with friends) I should probably go to sleep- (edit just so my other replies make sense: I didn't check the messages and the trip was cancelled)
The expectations part is on point. I'm always an honor student and whenever I see my scores soar high it doesn't make me glad anymore. It just relieves me that I was able to reach the expectations of me
Same I used to get so excited about getting good grades but now I'm just relieved I didn't fail or get an average grade like you said whenever I get a perfect score now I'm just like whatever
@@lovetdp4416 this is too real. I thought it was like this for everyone, but then people praise me or repeat the “wow you’re so smart” line. They act like its a given, and it does not feel goooood. I get so anxious when I take tests and my heart drops every time they signal progress reports or (god forbid) report cards coming out. I’ve been drilled with this message that I’ll never get into a good college if my grades arent always on top, and I feel so much pressure because my parents are basically relying on my grades to get scholarships to pay for tuition- they’re expectant, and I’m afraid of what will happen if I *cant* get any financial aid, and I dont want to discuss that with them because they might get angry and become inquisitive as to why I would need to rely on anything other than my grades. This quarantine has also made my sister do a lot worse in her studies, and seeing my parents get so angry and disappointed in *her* makes *me* terrified to see my grades drop also. Nowadays, waking up to “attend” school doesnt feel the same, and only brings foul emotions, and reminders of how I could spiral downwards like my sister did. Like, “I’m next,” or something like that.
Here are the problems: •They often suffer from psychological disorders •They are night owls •They have high expectations •They overanalyze things •They can become super stressed •Overexcitable problems edit:*thx for all the likes lol i never had so much*
I have all them, but I’m also very lazy, but did decent in school, did a levels, did decent, I have psychological problems OCD and People think I have ADHD because I’m always super excited, I stress a lot and can’t sleep, I never stop thinking, and I hate it, it’s tireing but yet I can’t sleep, it’s wierd. Atleast I’m not the only one xD
Would give anything in the world to be an idiot. Only a smartass would get depressed simply by being left alone for two hours to think about their self - worth compared to other people. The more I thought about it the more guilty I felt because I have literally no problems but I am sad for no mf reason.
I honestly love being smart it’s really fun. I just hate the negative stuff that comes with it. 😓😓😓 No one else thinks about it at all they just say I’m smart and very hard-working. 🤷♀️
"They over analyze things" Well that sums Up my entire Existence. Edit: yeah, like If I do something, in the past or the present. I Overthink it so much i usually have a panic attack.
I really like your content ~this vid ticks all the boxes. I wasn't aware of some of the insights here. It hasn't really elevated my ego, but it has made me feel more comfortable with myself. Thank you.
“hey what’s the answer to this question?” “can you help me with my homework?” “Jeez, chill out, why are you so worried about you’re grades?” “Can you just shut up, we know you’re smart” “So even a smart person can make a mistake” “
This is totally relatable for me I’m tired of getting moody all the time and overthinking and anxiety.Sometimes I get really passionate about my dreams and goals,and sometimes I’m just like….hmm no
1:00 : they often suffer from psychological disorders 1:55 : they are night owls 2:53: they have high expectations 3:40 : they are overexcitable and can have high energy 4:50 : they overanalyze things 5:53 : they can become super stressed you’re welcome ^^
it depends on how you define studying. i have always had decent information retention, so most of the time, i just need to read it and i will remember it. actually a quite useful ability when i was working in prison, as my supervisors were always calling me with questions, and i could recall what i had seen, then quickly pull it up and read them the information they wanted word for word as well as where i found it. its been over 2 years since i worked for them, and they will still ask me stuff as if i was still one of their sgts.
@@ariannelee6642 my ap chem teacher always accused me of learning by osmosis. But truth was, i had already read ahead out of boredom. If i can read it and apply it practically, i will retain it better as always. But not everyone learns the same. When i was an instructor, we were taught that there are 4 major ways of learning,and that most people use 2 of the 4 ways primarily. And i used that to help my students after class if they wanted the help. I love being able to teach others. I find it satisfying, especially when they really want to learn and the regular class hours ain't doing them a lot of good. I one day spent about half an hour breaking down one technique for a guy. And how i showed it to him worked for him. It clicked for him. Knowing that, i was able to help him easily grasp the material. All my students eventually graduated to becoming coworkers. And that was the success.
We could say that I "was" smart. Back in my childhood (including middle school period) I was always stressed and anxious going to school. Even though I had really high marks, and it satisfied me, this happiness was too little compared to what I had gone through everytime (FYI: I was almost always suffering from fatigue, mostly because I'm introverted and y'know...) on top of that, I had really high expectations from my parents, which destroyed me psychologically because they always checked on me. I didn't know what I really wanted, until the first year of high school I finally knew that I wanted peace, that's why I stopped being the "smartest one" and I can't be prouder to say that. My parents for some miracle stopped to analyze what I did everytime so I was as fresh as ice: I went to school happily almost everyday (except tests but that's obvious, nothing wrong here 😂) and I mainly focused on tighting some friendships (even with teachers) and aimed at becoming a better person, that's when I was finally proud of myself. Yeah, I wasn't the smartest, but I was an educated and happy fella, probably the best feeling I ever felt (and still feel today). I'm still in high school, fourth year, still have to fight some obstacles, but I feel like nothing can stop me. I felt like sharing this here so there you go, it also made me feel better somehow
The worst part is when you try something new and you aren’t perfect at it immediately. This makes you want to give up because you think you are a failure, but the pressure to succeed from yourself and others hold you back from doing so. This adds continuous stress on you as you stick with it.
I am not smart, I just have all the characteristics of people that are smart, therefore people assume I am smart and are constantly disappointed about my stupidity.
@@josephpatton5932 that's a good point regarding whether or not the original poster is smart, but that's irrelevant to the salient part of the scenario. He disappoints people Whether or not it's legit or fair they set their expectations like that, it's still a disappointment. And it sucks
I can relate, completely. I don't think people discover I'm not as smart as they thought, but I know they discover I don't put action behind my extraordinary analytical skills. It's like a disappointment of their view of my potential, and nothing is more important in the marketplace than potential Wasted potential? It's devastating
I hate it when people call me "gifted" or "talented" I consider it more as an insult. They make it look like I'm lucky that I'm smart but the reality is they never knew what I've been through to reach the top.
Exactly! I was identified as a gifted student in elementary school, still am, and people always expect me to do the best. Like, I lost so much just because I am “gifted”. I’m depressed, have anxiety, and have no friends I can relate to all because I was isolated from my peers since a young age. I have terrible social skills, no motivation for anything and procrastinate everything. Then, everyone says that I’m lucky because I’m smart. I’m not lucky, people, okay? I just want to be normal, which I can’t be because I have no other identity apart from being “smart”. Sorry for unloading all of this on you.
Happens to all of us unfortunately ... People just look at you and reject you while saying you're smart/intelligent ... They haven't thought a single second about what it feels to truly be someone like us. Tortured by our own mind.
I once saw a quote saying "Did you know that the smarter you get the sadder you are because you understand things that you don't even want to know?" and i felt it because i started to wonder about my existence why do I exist or why does the world exists.. I even questioned myself if god does exists.. after that i had mental a breakdown i started to cry without any reason ...
That interesting, because there’s a quote in the Qur’an says something along the lines of” The intelligent people are the most afraid of god” because there intelligence makes them aware and see how vast and complex the world we live in is, and it also makes them realize just how limited we are as human beings. Though, I feel like the sadness mentioned in the quote above is a result of one not accepting these limitations and focusing on what we don’t know and can’t do, rather than what we do have and can do. Reminding ourselves of what we do have no matter how little, makes us feel more grateful, content with life and is a good way to happiness. and the whole “seeing the cup half full” is a very underrated message, imho. Sorry, for this sudden dump of thoughts. 😂 It’s just what you said really resonated with me and got all these thoughts rolling.😊
My IQ is in the top 2 percent, I have depression, almost never go to bed before 2 am, have way too high expectations, my primary school teacher was completely unable to deal with me, I tend to overanalyze, am almost constantly stressed and I feel called out.
I am often smarter then my math teacher but I don’t wanna tell him cause- you know? He’s old and nice and innocent. I don’t wanna hurt him... But I can’t ask something cause nobody understands the way I think...

And please add loneliness to this list. Beyond a point it feels like nobody gets you. Nobody understands you. What makes you tick. Find similar minds. You easily get bored soon with people. It doesn't have to be finding nerdy people. I have a 1000 friends but hardly a handful who i get excited to talk to regarding anything and be returned the same passion. It's rare you find a soul who's intelligent and also not cocky and arrogant. You end up being lonely all your life. Not able to share what you have and reciprocated. It's a cursed life and you have to make peace with it. If being extremely smart is top 1%, by definition that's lonely.
i too feel very lonely because i have not yet found anybody to really go crazy with my thoughts :( which does not necessarily mean i'm smart but damn i wish i could find someone to really talk to
Smart people do get bored more often and they are Sometimes social outcasts because Others feel stupid near them... . But most smart people are not genetically unsocial, so in the end it is your own blame If you dont dare to Live a social Life.
@@noahr9539 I do have a very social life. I'm not talking about that. I gel with people so easily and love being with people. It's hard to explain. Even though I'm with people all the time it feels like there's very very select few whom I can talk about anything and them getting excited about it and the shared passion and great conversations that come out of it. You know what I mean. I genuinely enjoy other people's company but I always feel I'm so lonely in that I can't share and talk deeply about stuff I want and be reciprocated. I always always hit a barrier.
To avoid catching all the responsibility, smart people should train themselves to become disagreeable early in life and find a network they are comfortable and can trive in. I was getting pretty sick and tired of being sandbagged with trivial problems by people, especially family and "friends" in my teenage years. Becoming more selfish and connecting with people who are actually interested in the world sorted me right out. If you're smart and unhappy please go to university and join as many clubs as you have time for.
true, every group activity i tend to take all the responsibilities because i can't say no to them and its so fucking frustrating.Maybe its my fault for letting them do what they want
The feeling of always getting amazing test scores when you were younger leading to never studying, creating terrible study habits when it really matters. Its like you know you have to study but you don't know how to study or cant bring yourself to, as you've never needed to in the past.
This is why I want to isolate myself from everyone else. I want to be invisible, but the urge of opening my mouth is just so frustratingly hard to resist.
As someone with a high IQ (145), my main problem growing up was the fact I understood life way too early on which put me in a crisis because I realized what life was truly about.
@@ellyvine1992 The problem is not only finding people that share the same interest, but who can do so at the same level. If you have researched your interest, discussing with someone who hasn't is no fun,and awkward. Were stuck socializing on the web. At least we have that.
@@qua7771 I agree, it's not just a matter of interests but so much more. You can have the same interests but still can't discuss them with some people because they simply see things differently. Luckily the web widens the search.
Do not fool yourself. It may be, indeed, that you might be smart. However, some very dumb people have these issues as well. I am living proof of this. The issues presented here are not exclusive to smart people. They just pertain more to smart people than to dumb people. But us dumb people can have these issues as well.
Criteria for being a genius: 1. Psychological disorders 2. Nocturnal proclivities 3. High expectations 4. Overexcitability and high energy levels 5. Overanalysis 6. High-stress levels
As someone with an IQ of 131 I can vouch for nearly everything said in this video only 2 doesn’t apply to me. Also I am very lucky to be surrounded by people who understand those ‘overexitabilities’ and really don’t mind when they occur. Also I get frustrated quite easily which is linked to the huge amounts of stress. Also I don’t know if this is related to my intelligence but I have also had trembling fingers my entire life.
@@paparoes4008I'm wondering what makes you think it would be relevant. Depending on what test one takes, they could qualify for entrance into Mensa at 132 if taking the Stanford-Binet test. However, a score of 148 is required for the Cattell test. See what I mean? You ever heard of the old proverb, "it's better to keep silent & thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth & remove all doubt"? No, I'm not saying you're a fool either. It's just that some things are better left unsaid is all. (The wisdom side of intelligence.) Food for thought. Anyway, having said all that, your reply seemed to me to be very honest & fair enough. Good on ya mate & take it one day at a time! Tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own. (Jesus, Matt. 6:34)
Another idea: When you’re just smart enough to have a modicum of self-awareness but you’re not smart enough to use it as a way to easily get by in school or to be socially accessible
1. Not necessarily sensitive to diseases. 2. Yes, I'm a night owl. 3. Yes, extremely high expectations, but I set those same expectations for the people around me as well. 4. Yes I am always hyperfocused on little things meaning I miss 80% of what goes on around me. 5. Yes I over analyze things because I can't work with surface level information.. It frustrates me. 6. No I don't get stressed because I talk to myself 24/7 and I take lots of time isolating myself from people. I don't think I'm smart. I just grew to become a disciplined perfectionist because I've always had to do everything on my own, even as a child. So anything less than perfect is not going to cut it, because if I don't do it no one will. This is why I took entire group projects on alone and let the other team mates enjoy the ride. Anything less than my own standards isn't good enough. It even made me arrogant and selfish. But if there's no one to have your back, it's simply necessary. You could argue only an intelligent person could handle that kind of responsibility but I hate to differentiate between "smart" and "not smart". It's all in how much you care.
"Can you do my homework?" "You're smart why can't you just tell me" "You're just showing off!" "We're not friends anymore, you make look like a fool" More importantly being immediately judged by making a tiny mistake/ you had a bad grade and teachers forcing you to join contests you don't even like.
Ugh, yeah the part of causing anxiety and triggering self-worth issues with others is really tough. I'm now able to sense when to stop or turn elsewhere when there's that sense of "Ah, I'm starting to lose them!". But especially on the internet without body language it's tough. I JUST got throw out of a group yesterday for that reason. Scared them with being able to see beyond the "good and bad" categories on a controversial subject. 😔 That one actually stings and I'm very used to parting ways with people for them becoming too stressed around me.

All humans have something potential to contribute to our society. No life matter more or any less than the other.
I had and still have problems with how much I talk. I never thought of it as being linked to my mental capabilities. That enlightens a few things. Thanks for this video.
When I was a kid, one teacher told my mom I was gifted and overskilled.... from this day on I've never had peace, the expectations were way to high on me, since I'm the oldest daughter. It caused me a lot of stress, a lot of disapointness when I got bad marks and a lot of pressure. Nowadays I'm really good at everything I do, but I have OCD and overstress that always conducts me to a burn-out times to times.
But we’re working at that HIGH IQ they weren’t joking life does come with a price! A lot of stress! A lot of self management after dealing with everything that we deal with.. shit even I’m saying “We” oh wait man I thought we were all smart in our own little ways! 🥸😤😶🌫️
I get u, they said the exact same thing, but instead of feeling pressure from being the oldest, I constantly live in my siblings' shadow ( me being the youngest ) , causing me to have a burn out at least once a month and lots of stress
@@neonctx yeh but so do the dumb people who think they are smart .... Hmm. It's a bit of a twist if you think about it. I find the patience part galling. As the saying goes stupidity is the only disease other people have to suffer from.
When teachers started telling my parents I'm smart and overskilled, i started to feel stressed and gave up on trying :). Now I'm not good at anything other than my brain overthinking me into depression every single day :)
To understand more about someone you label as smart, (i think everyone is smart tho).. being smart is not always happy thing, so yeah, i think there's nothing to get jealous..
I’ve always had issues with the saying “knowledge is power” because, although it is true in a way, it makes people forget it is also an incredible struggle.

I’m insecure about my intelligence, I’m worried that I’m stupid.
You are most definitely not alone there!!!!!!
Well there are a lot of average or below average people. I don't think people should be ashamed of being below average because it isn't their fault. But unless you've had an official IQ test you don't know. More intelligent people apparently have more doubts about their intelligence, I've heard. Also there are other qualities that are very important too. Some smart people are terrible in other ways and lots of smart people do poorly in life.
Me too! I always think I’m stupid for thinking I’m smart.
I am insecure about my age... I always have to act different cause I would look really weird if not- I have only friends that are older than me and I have the feeling that they are still younger than me it’s so weird haha
I was also insecure about that, but now I don't even care I think I am probably average and I am okay with that.

But someone said "who got that one wrong? " I just sat in the back quietly. Ofc the person in front of me just HAD to be nosy and they looked at my screen and said very loudly "she did! " and everyone looked at me laughing and I felt terrible. Like big deal I got one wrong. Cmon ppl it was a fun TRVIA game. I can't be this awesome all the time yknow.

These are the problems I face at school being smart and yes, I have all of these over my life... I'd really appreciate it if you added these points too. Thank you Psych2Go!
Youd have to be an ididot to follow the Standart "smart" by Psych2Go. There are people with photographic/Eidetic/../ memories remembering every intricate detail they have done/said/learned/thought/internalised/acted/what everyone else has said.. and more. People who innately comprehend material the level of Masters with confirmation from students or teachers that it is a difficult subject to master let alone by a glance look into it and know more than the teacher has been taught. My moms cousin is an alcoholic he lives in his apartment covered with books, his bed has sanked in stolen/bought books he might or might not be intelligent but for someone like him to exist comparable to me who barerly reads the amount he does per day, it's hard to think I'm even slightly intelligent instead dumb stupid pathetic loser - that's literally what I am every day
8 and 9 are exactly how my life is. It’s weird how you can over do work and still be “lazy.” I can’t really agree with 7 because I never talk about my feelings, I was raised to know that it is only for bad people, so nobody can really understand me or not if I don’t give them anything to understand. For 10, luckily where I live finding a bully is like finding a four leaf clover. They’re very rare.
I don't express my feelings either but there is a sense in people whether how the person is feeling. I have that feeling but as no one really likes me alot and I get bullied half the time on school, I can't help anyone. But then there is this sense. I agree with you.
@@Pikachu-nj3cx Sorry about all that bullying, that sucks. I get what you mean on where people can sense others’ feelings, and I do agree that people can be bad at sensing my feelings. I’ll sit alone at lunch a lot of the time at school and people think it’s because I’m sad and lonely so they try to sit next to me and cheer me up, but in reality I’m only alone because I want to be alone and I couldn’t be happier.

I think that's what makes us lucky. The problems we have gives us more opportunities and chances to be stronger and more successful than an average person. Because in trying to resolve these personal problems that we have, we learn a lot and become better and stronger.
It's just my opinion though.
I believe that while traditional IQ is an important measure of intelligence, you need to have understanding and wisdom as well. Intelligence without the ability to truly grasp it would be a curse.
agreed. I find a lot of people hating against using an IQ saying it's inaccurate, but really, I reckon it just comes down to what you value most (aspects)

I can safely admit here, that I find quarantine to be a HUGE blessing that has given me weeks, months and even years of peace and tranquility I never believed I would experience. My deepest sympathies to those of you who have lost loved ones.
After seventy years that included hundreds of dreadfully painful days, trying my best to "fit in and enjoy" family gatherings (holidays being the worst), Covid, in all it's forms, has given me the one impenetrable excuse, with absolutely no guilt or judgement, to say "no" and stay home. Yes, I'm a Mensan.
And, yes....I am occasionally lonely. It quickly passes.
One of my professors once said: smart people struggle with motivation/procrastination because they never had to struggle much initially. Unlike people who have to learn how to overcome struggles, we are not taught how when life eventually gets hard. It can be especially hard to ask for help when people see you, or you perceive yourself, as the smart one who should have the answers.
this is so true
as a someone who is seen as a “smart student” people always have high expectations of me and think that im hardworking and all but in reality it’s really hard to find motivation to do something and it’s even harder to ask for help because everyone sees me as the kid who knows it all so im always terrified that people will think lesser of me if i ask for help, thinking im dumb and will become disappointed of me
Ahhh, I've heard this a lot, and I never really believed it until maybe two years ago. It's begun to resonate with my current situation in school, because everything has been increasing in difficulty and I've always expected myself to be able to accomplish what I need to. It's been quite taxing struggling to build up motivation and incentive that I really did take for granted a while back. Your professor speaks an honest truth, and I hope my school takes note of this and begins to reach out more to the students whose performance has been changing because of their own internal struggles and expectations.
Why do you have to hit me this hard..
I grew up having to take care of myself, because at age 4 my parents got divorced and were constantly working.

Yeah! Sometimes, if I get decent grades in tests or I’m just seen as kind of smart, it doesn’t mean I’d know the answer. As an unconfident person, I don’t have much pride in my answers and I don’t believe they’re correct most of the time, even if they are.

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

The third one is so true for me. Since I was little, people had expectations for me to succeed. Even my classmates used to make comments like "if she doesn't know the answer, how am I supposed to?" and I felt kinda obligated to know everything.
I could relate to this the most too. My parents and classmates always assume I’m gonna do very, very well on everything I do in school and most of the time, that’s true for you and me, laurc. That pressure people don’t realize they’re putting on you to do well is annoying as hell and you stress and study more over a test than the people who actually need to study that long. You never are proud of you’re grades; they’re expected. The good grades never lift you up; just the bad ones that crush you.

My biggest problem being the “smart kid” is that students often ask me questions before the teacher. Everyone expects me to have the answers. I’m also constantly worried about messing up because if I don’t understand something lots of other people will struggle as well.
Oh, interesting. Mine is that other students also ask me questions before the teacher too. The thing is when I tell them an answer then they ask me how I got it or something similar and I'm no good at explaining it and it takes time for them to understand. I have to repeat a couple of times before they get it.
I completely get that. Trying to explain something that I don’t understand is the worst. I have done it so much I’ve gotten good at it, which of course makes people ask more

I get so anxious when I take tests and my heart drops every time they signal progress reports or (god forbid) report cards coming out. I’ve been drilled with this message that I’ll never get into a good college if my grades arent always on top, and I feel so much pressure because my parents are basically relying on my grades to get scholarships to pay for tuition- they’re expectant, and I’m afraid of what will happen if I *cant* get any financial aid, and I dont want to discuss that with them because they might get angry and become inquisitive as to why I would need to rely on anything other than my grades.
This quarantine has also made my sister do a lot worse in her studies, and seeing my parents get so angry and disappointed in *her* makes *me* terrified to see my grades drop also. Nowadays, waking up to “attend” school doesnt feel the same, and only brings foul emotions, and reminders of how I could spiral downwards like my sister did. Like, “I’m next,” or something like that.

The worst thing is i never had to study till high school ANd had no ability to study.
TLDR: Highschool hit me like a truck
This shit just happened to me, but in my second year of university... man, physics are tough
it depends on how you define studying. i have always had decent information retention, so most of the time, i just need to read it and i will remember it. actually a quite useful ability when i was working in prison, as my supervisors were always calling me with questions, and i could recall what i had seen, then quickly pull it up and read them the information they wanted word for word as well as where i found it. its been over 2 years since i worked for them, and they will still ask me stuff as if i was still one of their sgts.
@@zeratulthedark2985 the point is the willingness to read it first. it's the hardest part. if you force yourself you won't retain shit
@@ariannelee6642 my ap chem teacher always accused me of learning by osmosis. But truth was, i had already read ahead out of boredom. If i can read it and apply it practically, i will retain it better as always. But not everyone learns the same. When i was an instructor, we were taught that there are 4 major ways of learning,and that most people use 2 of the 4 ways primarily. And i used that to help my students after class if they wanted the help. I love being able to teach others. I find it satisfying, especially when they really want to learn and the regular class hours ain't doing them a lot of good. I one day spent about half an hour breaking down one technique for a guy. And how i showed it to him worked for him. It clicked for him. Knowing that, i was able to help him easily grasp the material. All my students eventually graduated to becoming coworkers. And that was the success.
i didn’t study until my senior year and now I have finals coming I am so stressed because of it
We could say that I "was" smart.
Back in my childhood (including middle school period) I was always stressed and anxious going to school. Even though I had really high marks, and it satisfied me, this happiness was too little compared to what I had gone through everytime (FYI: I was almost always suffering from fatigue, mostly because I'm introverted and y'know...) on top of that, I had really high expectations from my parents, which destroyed me psychologically because they always checked on me.
I didn't know what I really wanted, until the first year of high school
I finally knew that I wanted peace, that's why I stopped being the "smartest one" and I can't be prouder to say that. My parents for some miracle stopped to analyze what I did everytime so I was as fresh as ice: I went to school happily almost everyday (except tests but that's obvious, nothing wrong here 😂) and I mainly focused on tighting some friendships (even with teachers) and aimed at becoming a better person, that's when I was finally proud of myself. Yeah, I wasn't the smartest, but I was an educated and happy fella, probably the best feeling I ever felt (and still feel today).
I'm still in high school, fourth year, still have to fight some obstacles, but I feel like nothing can stop me.
I felt like sharing this here so there you go, it also made me feel better somehow
Realizing your happiness matters more than useless school material is the smartest thing you can do and many smart people do that.
The worst part is when you try something new and you aren’t perfect at it immediately. This makes you want to give up because you think you are a failure, but the pressure to succeed from yourself and others hold you back from doing so. This adds continuous stress on you as you stick with it.
Holy shit, you perfectly described how I feel every single time i try something new. I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one who feels this way 😅
I feel this way every time i learn something new in Algebra and geometry 😭 if I don't get it the first time, I start crying and get rly stressed out 😩
Truth
A long description of anxiety
I don't have that problem because I learn everything super fast.
I am not smart, I just have all the characteristics of people that are smart, therefore people assume I am smart and are constantly disappointed about my stupidity.

Whether or not it's legit or fair they set their expectations like that, it's still a disappointment. And it sucks
I can relate, completely. I don't think people discover I'm not as smart as they thought, but I know they discover I don't put action behind my extraordinary analytical skills. It's like a disappointment of their view of my potential, and nothing is more important in the marketplace than potential
Wasted potential? It's devastating
I hate it when people call me "gifted" or "talented" I consider it more as an insult. They make it look like I'm lucky that I'm smart but the reality is they never knew what I've been through to reach the top.
Exactly! I was identified as a gifted student in elementary school, still am, and people always expect me to do the best. Like, I lost so much just because I am “gifted”. I’m depressed, have anxiety, and have no friends I can relate to all because I was isolated from my peers since a young age. I have terrible social skills, no motivation for anything and procrastinate everything. Then, everyone says that I’m lucky because I’m smart. I’m not lucky, people, okay? I just want to be normal, which I can’t be because I have no other identity apart from being “smart”.

I even questioned myself if god does exists.. after that i had mental a breakdown i started to cry without any reason ...
Yep, it happens to me
That interesting, because there’s a quote in the Qur’an says something along the lines of” The intelligent people are the most afraid of god” because there intelligence makes them aware and see how vast and complex the world we live in is, and it also makes them realize just how limited we are as human beings.
Though, I feel like the sadness mentioned in the quote above is a result of one not accepting these limitations and focusing on what we don’t know and can’t do, rather than what we do have and can do. Reminding ourselves of what we do have no matter how little, makes us feel more grateful, content with life and is a good way to happiness. and the whole “seeing the cup half full” is a very underrated message, imho.

People tend to confuse eloquence and intellegence. It's one thing to appear smart but beeing smart is another story.
And please add loneliness to this list. Beyond a point it feels like nobody gets you. Nobody understands you. What makes you tick. Find similar minds. You easily get bored soon with people. It doesn't have to be finding nerdy people. I have a 1000 friends but hardly a handful who i get excited to talk to regarding anything and be returned the same passion. It's rare you find a soul who's intelligent and also not cocky and arrogant. You end up being lonely all your life. Not able to share what you have and reciprocated.

Problem of "smart people" is that they catch all the responsibility.
universal truth.
To avoid catching all the responsibility, smart people should train themselves to become disagreeable early in life and find a network they are comfortable and can trive in. I was getting pretty sick and tired of being sandbagged with trivial problems by people, especially family and "friends" in my teenage years. Becoming more selfish and connecting with people who are actually interested in the world sorted me right out.

As someone with an IQ of 131 I can vouch for nearly everything said in this video only 2 doesn’t apply to me. Also I am very lucky to be surrounded by people who understand those ‘overexitabilities’ and really don’t mind when they occur. Also I get frustrated quite easily which is linked to the huge amounts of stress. Also I don’t know if this is related to my intelligence but I have also had trembling fingers my entire life.
I've never given my IQ # out. Why would anyone want to do that? Hmm...
@@bobbyshroyer440 IDK I thought it might be relevant.
@@paparoes4008I'm wondering what makes you think it would be relevant. Depending on what test one takes, they could qualify for entrance into Mensa at 132 if taking the Stanford-Binet test. However, a score of 148 is required for the Cattell test. See what I mean? You ever heard of the old proverb, "it's better to keep silent & thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth & remove all doubt"? No, I'm not saying you're a fool either. It's just that some things are better left unsaid is all. (The wisdom side of intelligence.) Food for thought. Anyway, having said all that, your reply seemed to me to be very honest & fair enough. Good on ya mate & take it one day at a time! Tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own. (Jesus, Matt. 6:34)
When your smartness causes you to overanalyze your smartness so much that you become so anxious you become dumb.
i overanalyze things so much, it takes too long and people start to think I'm an idiot
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
thats my problem, not smart but just overanalyze and dumb
this is me :)
but im not smart
Another idea: When you’re just smart enough to have a modicum of self-awareness but you’re not smart enough to use it as a way to easily get by in school or to be socially accessible
When you're smart but too depressed to care about exams so everyone thinks you're stupid 🙃
but I'm below average lol
Soo true...
me but with adhd and executive dysfunction😔😔
So true
Can you even call that smart anymore?
Very apt list. Unfortunately, these struggles are all too common in today's world
Yeah.
There’s alot of shit going on.
Too much geniuses in the world

1. Not necessarily sensitive to diseases.
2. Yes, I'm a night owl.
3. Yes, extremely high expectations, but I set those same expectations for the people around me as well.
4. Yes I am always hyperfocused on little things meaning I miss 80% of what goes on around me.
5. Yes I over analyze things because I can't work with surface level information.. It frustrates me.
6. No I don't get stressed because I talk to myself 24/7 and I take lots of time isolating myself from people.
I don't think I'm smart. I just grew to become a disciplined perfectionist because I've always had to do everything on my own, even as a child. So anything less than perfect is not going to cut it, because if I don't do it no one will. This is why I took entire group projects on alone and let the other team mates enjoy the ride. Anything less than my own standards isn't good enough. It even made me arrogant and selfish. But if there's no one to have your back, it's simply necessary. You could argue only an intelligent person could handle that kind of responsibility but I hate to differentiate between "smart" and "not smart". It's all in how much you care.
Nice
You should also let your team mates do the work because otherwise they won’t learn anything.
you and I are not so different
"Can you do my homework?"
"You're smart why can't you just tell me"
"You're just showing off!"
"We're not friends anymore, you make look like a fool"
More importantly being immediately judged by making a tiny mistake/ you had a bad grade and teachers forcing you to join contests you don't even like.
Ugh, yeah the part of causing anxiety and triggering self-worth issues with others is really tough. I'm now able to sense when to stop or turn elsewhere when there's that sense of "Ah, I'm starting to lose them!". But especially on the internet without body language it's tough. I JUST got throw out of a group yesterday for that reason. Scared them with being able to see beyond the "good and bad" categories on a controversial subject. 😔 That one actually stings and I'm very used to parting ways with people for them becoming too stressed around me.
Yeah, I have similar problems. Also because of my OE problem, people hate me when I chat online.
@@KxNOxUTA I hate it when that happens.. I suffer with you.. :/ im either to different/have an opinion that people dont want to listen to and understand cus they believe in their own so hard that they dont want to listen to anything else.. (just as an example.. BLM and i think.. but hey.. you guys.. ALL lifes matter.. and if we create BLM.. we still make it about ''THEM and US''.. how is it going to help if we keep categorizing people when thats the thing we want to fight against?) /to honest.. or uninteresting for people to even wanna talk to me.. and honestly.. im very very curious what the subject was.. i just read your comment and you sound really amazing!! like the kind of person id love to talk to irl :) I love it when ppl can see beyond the good and bad in things ^^; .. as long as you accept everyones opinion and open to what they think and listen to them ofc :)
@@nathalieolsson6972 THANK YOU. the i say the same thing. They want no racism but. Made a group. Specifically. For advocating. For that one group. To say how great that group is and their lives matter. Isn’t that being racist with extra steps? Every time I see “black lives matter” I think to myself. No shit. All lives matter. All humans have something potential to contribute to our society. No life matter more or any less than the other.
People used to depend on me for homework and everything. Like just because i get good grade doesnt mean im going to do you homework.
"6 problems only smart people have"
me, an idiot: *hmm interesting*
Me who also here just to know how to comfort smart PPL, so they can help me too :"
@@alik3957 lol
@@alik3957 That's big brain actually.
So, I am maybe smartn't, but I am big brain
@@alik3957 same
People: *You're an night owl*
Me: *No, it's about that time when people are N O T disturbing you so you can manage on your own and focus more*
like actually.
trueeee
Ikkkk
yeahh my parents hate to see me studying at night cause they wanted me to sleep well but i can't study properly at day, honestly I prefer at night.
YAS IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW!!! THANK YOU!
I had and still have problems with how much I talk. I never thought of it as being linked to my mental capabilities. That enlightens a few things. Thanks for this video.
When I was a kid, one teacher told my mom I was gifted and overskilled.... from this day on I've never had peace, the expectations were way to high on me, since I'm the oldest daughter. It caused me a lot of stress, a lot of disapointness when I got bad marks and a lot of pressure. Nowadays I'm really good at everything I do, but I have OCD and overstress that always conducts me to a burn-out times to times.
But we’re working at that HIGH IQ they weren’t joking life does come with a price! A lot of stress! A lot of self management after dealing with everything that we deal with.. shit even I’m saying “We” oh wait man I thought we were all smart in our own little ways! 🥸😤😶🌫️
Yall are getting stressed about it? I find being smart fun.
I get u, they said the exact same thing, but instead of feeling pressure from being the oldest, I constantly live in my siblings' shadow ( me being the youngest ) , causing me to have a burn out at least once a month and lots of stress
@@neonctx yeh but so do the dumb people who think they are smart .... Hmm. It's a bit of a twist if you think about it. I find the patience part galling. As the saying goes stupidity is the only disease other people have to suffer from.
When teachers started telling my parents I'm smart and overskilled, i started to feel stressed and gave up on trying :). Now I'm not good at anything other than my brain overthinking me into depression every single day :)
Fun fact: Most people are smart! They just dont know how to use their intelegence
Of course everyone is smart. I wouldn’t say everyone is intelligent though or have high intelligence.
Not most, everyone
*intelligence
I Agree
@@user-gv5hm8po6b Exactly.
Me: why am i gonna watch this i'm not smart pff
Also me: *watches anyway
i felt that
Everyone’s smart at something!
😂
I felt like my feelings were about to be hurt when I realized I couldn’t relate to anything on the list 😂
To understand more about someone you label as smart, (i think everyone is smart tho).. being smart is not always happy thing, so yeah, i think there's nothing to get jealous..
I’ve always had issues with the saying “knowledge is power” because, although it is true in a way, it makes people forget it is also an incredible struggle.
