The 10 Struggles Only Highly Intelligent People Have

Highly intelligent people may seem to have it better in life, but these struggles prove that isn’t always the case! Intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. When someone refers to you as being intelligent, they imply that you are special in terms of brain function and general conduct.

That being said, it’s easy to assume that having a high IQ would come with several privileges. For example, you wouldn't have to study as hard for tests. You'd read about complicated concepts and be able to grasp them immediately. In fact, all that may be true! But, there are difficulties and challenges that only highly intelligent people will experience.

Besides these struggles, there are several personality traits of highly intelligent people that set them apart from the rest. Many of these traits have to do with their intense feelings and emotions. Others, with their distinctive socially awkward interactions. These traits often make them misunderstood and underestimated.

The research in this video simply outlines some of the most common struggles that only highly intelligent people have.

Just came to the comment section to see how many people think they're geniuses

[BlightBreedOfficial]

Damn, there's so many geniuses in this world! I didn't realize how many there were until I read the comment section.

[illyrian]

90% of the people in this comment section are barely above average (if at all) in terms of intelligence.

[AlyD]

This should have just been called “10 struggles only highly anxious people have” tbh lol

[helpmefortheloveofshrek]

I wonder how many people think they’re highly intelligent just because they got an A in their test.

Life is full of questions. Fools are full of answers.

I cried when I saw this video and description.

I am a child with ADHD, and I am intelligent. I can understand things and concepts that everyone in my class fails to understand. All the questions that other students ask I already know. In class, when we do puzzles that require thinking, I am always the one who finishes first. But one problem is that I am shy and humble. I am a very hated person in my school. People call me stupid, useless, and weak. No one can see that inside I am a very good person. I also had betrayals. I am stuck in school with only a few close friends. This hostile atmosphere that I succumb to made me depressed and suicidal.

The only thing that is saving me is the Internet. The computer, is a beautiful thing. It does what you tell it to do. And you can share your ideas anonymously to anyone.
When I saw this video, my heart filled with hope that some people do truly understand the sufferings of intelligent people with mental handicaps. I am truly thankful. <3

What’s with all of the negativity in the comment section? I came here to find answers, and everything mentioned in this video resonates with me with pinpoint accuracy.

The video is not a fucking horoscope, it’s a solid description of a restless mind with potential; it describes the melancholy that arises from living in our modern day.

To understand the global economic / political / cultural climate as it is currently is disheartening to smart people, since many of the platforms of innovation by which one may be able to express their creativity and thoroughly enjoy the fruits of their mental capacity is at risk.

By definition, depression occurs when someone feels ineffective and hopeless for the future. A smart person in today’s world sees the trends and their anxiety spikes because they don’t know if they will ever be able to achieve their maximum effectiveness.

Anyway, save the shaming language for another place. The worst thing to do is to make smart people feel even more isolated and have them second-guess their abilities after watching a well-made video.

I came here to prove to myself I'm a genius😂

[Unlearning]

Me(while watching the video): Wow, I'm genius, unique n *rare* piece of gem!😃

Me(while reading the comments): maybe not* 😐

[mchepen]

[sonofgodsdad]

This comment section is such a circlejerk

[emiliar.]

this is kind of a clickbait, most of these struggles relate to many people, even the average ones.

[hylopez]

Although I don’t considered myself “highly” intelligent, I share these traits: Don’t like small talk; I tend to think more than speak; my brain needs to be stimulated; I tend to be cautious and analytical to make good decisions; I find it difficult to make friends who are mind alike, I’m afraid of failure and tend to be a perfectionist; and I tend to take the road less traveled.

[wenomechainsanna]

There's a difference between being highly intelligent and an average introvert. Average introverts after watching this video think that they are smart.

[asmitharamesh]

The paralysis from analysis is a serious problem in my life it's scaring the shit out of me as I'm not able to decide on anything anymore.
