6 Problems Only Smart People Have

We usually think of smart people as people who are destined for success and given more opportunities than others. But what if there are some problems that are more likely to arise if you are indeed intelligent? Are you too smart for your own good?

"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

POV: you're wondering if you're smart or just an anxious overthinking hamster with a bad sleep schedule

[Leanflare]

I’m insecure about my intelligence, I’m worried that I’m stupid.

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*

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!

"Please do not use this to self-diagnose"
Viewers: *Imma pretend I didn't hear that*

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.

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.

Everybody gangsta till your own intelligence turns against you

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)

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.

Other problems:
-being misunderstood
-being called lazy
-discussions with people who always want to be right

people always told me I was smart and that i was so lucky but literally im the laziest person, and on top of that, a procrastinator. LOL

[president]

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
