10 Problems Only Smart People Have - Downsides Of Being Highly Intelligent

Believe it or not, there are downsides of being highly intelligent, and there are problems only smart people have. While highly intelligent people are blessed with a great mind, there are some disadvantages of high intelligence.

A high IQ not only equates to an overactive brain, but a hyperactive nervous system as well. Thus, smart people have a more difficult time dealing with external stimuli. This can result in a lack of patience, anxiety and even relationship problems.

And since smart people tend to struggle to find others with a similar level of intelligence, they often lead a very lonely life.

The worst, to me, is having to hide your intelligence constantly so people don't feel offended. Its like you had to apologize for being smart.

"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubt, while the stupid ones are full of confidence." -- Charles Bukowski

(edit) Apologies if this wasn't the guy who said this particular quote, I found it online and thought it would be nice to share. Thanks!

At the ripe age of 50, after being told my whole life how creative and witty I am, I've concluded I would have been happier to go through life as a simpleton like Forrest Gump

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
- Albert Einstein

[stevencanzonetta]

Highly intelligent people don't typically do that well in school. Because they don't make good robots, and question everything. Academia doesn't reward those traits!

[davidvay]

Loner. That is my normal comfort zone. This Pandemic seemed like something already prepared for when it hit. High regard for hygiene, bullshit meter on high and very comfortable with self isolation. An absolute need to question all.

7:06 "You suffer from loneliness"
Believe me, loneliness is nothing compared to be with wrong people. When I say "wrong" I mean people who doesn't want to be better in life.

[georgeandrews]

Intelligence is a quality that most of society resents you for having.

[YSEP]

And smart people have trust issues as well. They don’t trust anyone because they overthink about a single thing they do. That is actually where loneliness comes from. Because they know what world is like..

[tiffanywest]

Anyone else ever notice how your 'conversations' with other people often end up becoming 'lectures'?

[bhka]

My problems:

- Thinking too much
- People call me a smartass and annoying (because I correct them)
- School bored me and was uninteresting
- I hate small talk and can’t start a conversation
- Basic conversations about normal topics bore me
- The only friends I have are my relatives
- Being scared of the future
- People consider me weird
- Before my IQ test and before I knew about the issues or characteristics of intelligent people I felt stupid

[pedropierre]

I think one of the worst things about it is, when you understand a topic differently, and you can see everyone's point and make the most rational decision but other people cannot and thus they stick to what they want.

[alexanderp]

The most irritating is that people are too lazy to think. Even if that one thought will separate them from idiots

[trixie]

I don't know anyone with high intelligence that doesn't want to change their mind. In fact the opposite The more intelligent you are the more likely you are to have changed your mind and taken in the correct facts.

[uuubgbl]

Highly-intelligent people are those who work hard to escape the feeling of loneliness and to achieve more. And they also have a great EQ. So this description is about 75 %correct. I know what I m saying, it s a very hard work to me to talk to those people who re less intelligent.. so I prefer to be alone and focus on my work and goals..

[sammylane]

"People find you annoying"... Sheldon " Bazinga" Cooper comes to mind.

[johnbastian]

I feel lonely even when I'm with other people. I also suffer from depression.

[Talkinglife]

Highly intelligent people mainly suffer from perfectionism ...

[sanjanasubba]

I think anxiety and overthinking is the sign of higher intelligent. dealing with this two thing is the most difficult task in this world.

[akariced]

It’s the apparent feeling of them not being on your level. Having intellectual conversations about advanced topics always seem to feel one-sided and half-hearted.
