Genius? What's the point of being genius? You sacrifice everything for your intelligence. You give up your social skills, your ability to have fun, and most of your hope of romance. And for what? A higher paying job? The ability to show up everyone around you? You end up pushing everyone away, isolating yourself from society, making yourself more and more miserable. And the worst part is that your intelligence allows you to realize just how miserable your life really is.
And more and more every day, you wonder why you couldn't be normal, why you're cursed with your intellect, why you seem to be alone in a sea of idiots. So you cat dumber than you are, you hide part of your intellect behind a veil of buffoonery, just so you aren't shunned for being superior to the glassy eyed automatons that fill your world.
You are truly and completely alone.
But I want you to know one thing.
You don't have to be. -
I don't think I have intelligence but I'm studying in a school for intelligent girls and my parents' expectation is so high.I can't do anything what I want to do in real life.I'm 14 but I've never went to a new friend's house or a park or movies or any other fun place with them.I always dream to study in a simple school where students don't have to stay up late only to finish studying for tomorrow's test just like me.
I think so many intelligent people don't like the way they live. -
Intelligence is both a blessing and a curse. Though it, you can understand and create things far beyond other's imagination. Also, you feel excluded from society in just about every way.
Wasn't there a study done on IQ levels and depression? -
Intelligence isn't just the ability to shine in maths or to have a brilliant sense of logic.
Someone with a high IQ can maybe shine in various other things; arts, language or even social skills; depending on the person.
The bad part about many parents is that they think, if their child has an IQ higher than average, he'll be a talented engineer or that he's destined to get into science. That's why a majority of smart people are dissatisfied with their lives. If some parents learnt that IQ isn't just about maths, or taught their bright child to follow the path he wants to choose not the path they think he has to choose, many things would have been different.
Look at Beethoven for example, he could probably have been a "good" scientist, but he instead followed his interest and became one of the "best" pianists.
My whole point is that everybody should follow what he likes the most for that's where his talents lie.
