Why Intelligent People Are Introverts

[jeffreydallas]

I'm absolutely chill and losing my mind at the same time...

I can confirm. Being someone who makes considerably smarter and wiser choices than others my age comes at a social cost. Maybe you should make a video regarding how one who is smarter than his few friends can use that wisdom and intelligence to positively influence those friends rather than sitting alone in the corner.

I hope anti.prophet sees this and makes that video.

I find it funny as in politics and influencers most of them need to know people to become known easier and respected

It's not about being alone which makes you smart, it's about spending time with actually smart and knowledgeable people on a near daily basis atleast . If you are someone who "hates hanging out with others", that doesn't necessitate that you are smarter, it simply means that you don't feel like you are receiving value from that potentially spent time.
Smart people are the ones who actually know who are worthy to spend their time with, and so they actively seek them out, thereby gaining the value they want.
In the end your vibe attracts your tribe, so if you feel that hanging out with others is a waste of time because they aren't as smart as you, maybe take a deeper look and evaluate whether you presented yourself as someone who is "smart", because if you did, the possibility that another smart person would have recognized that and thereby gave you your desired value would have increased significantly.

The worst kind of intelligence is being notably above average, but not crazy intelligent

You lack the singular focus/autism to be really good at something and capitalize, but still weird enough to not be able to just be overly social

Being a person on the spectrum, I'm naturally a loner, (but a good one), I say by myself at lunch and normally try not to bug people, but I also try to focus on myself and discover something about myself. It's quite calming, actually.

It’s about avoiding people who are bad for you, or realizing you are too good for certain situations and having enough common sense to move on from that and do better

As an introvert, I can confirm this video. I never knew I could be smart in school while other people usually go out to quiceaneras, clubs, and bars, and talks a lot about their lives. I never talk about my life, since I am more of a private person. I basically work mostly on the weekends and never have time for fun times. All I ever do is, Math, Science, Philosophy, Motivation, and even Geopolitics. When the weekend comes around, I just chill off and watch a movie or read a Webtoon or a book. Thanks for the information.

I would say that I'm pretty intelligent and wise for my age " 14 " and I don't hang out with other kids that much but I realize that I should hang out with other kids and people more. Just focusing on one thing and thinking and studying alone is not good for you.

[jmxqnrr]

No, it's because no one call me out

[fg]

typical „correlation does not imply causation“ phenomenon, all those introverts now thinking theyre smart 😂

[digikamikaze]

Not autistic and i deal with this, can't find work balance and its hurting my marriage.

[jayworkscompany]

I believe if you talk to people you can network

[zeroconsequence]

Yes that's me ... understand the intelligence and empathy will drive you forward...Intelligence In a high level ...

[lazynara]

It's a lonely life but, people leave me alone and I leave others alone.

[Hilix]

Me who’s chronically depressed and has no friends: yay i guess 😞

[belkamax]

She did very good job explaining it, very smart language she uses.

[MayhemJack]

Hey, I was never ashamed of it. I just want people to leave me alone...but also come running when I call.

Develop your social skills and combine that with your intelligence, you'll be unstoppable.

I like to be around intelligent people cause i can actually have a intelligent conversation with someone.
