>>22310782I was tested at age 12 with an IQ of 131. I’m intelligent but also an insecure perfectionist, which often leads to inaction. I’m highly sensitive as well. In many ways, my intelligence feels more like a burden—knowing I have the potential to achieve great things, yet having wasted years doing nothing. I spent too much time partying, drinking, and gaming instead of pursuing my potential.
My sense of humor is different from most people’s, and I tend to connect best with those who are either exceptionally intelligent or not very intellectual at all—the average person just bores me.
Around 98% of the people I meet think slower than I do, which forces me to slow down. That’s incredibly frustrating and annoying.
Despite this, I earned a master’s degree and even taught at a university, but I burned out due to various circumstances. Now, I’m stuck at home doing nothing, which only makes everything worse. I just hope my health improves soon so I can start working again—because this is unbearable.
