How do I deal with having a higher IQ than 99.9 percent of people, /lit/?

Serious question. When turbo low IQ types socialise they do so about pleb things like television, football, and the works of other plebeian folks. I don't participate in any of these things so I can't relate to them, or other people.

I can't make friends because I'm too clever for them, and even when I'm not trying to do so, I outshine them and they hate me for it.
I mean, I still get laid... but afterwards I usually call the chick stupid and never speak to her again, or insult her in some way because I don't like stupid people.

This is /lit/ related because I read at least a book a day, and have done for the past 8 years.

How do I deal with drongos?
How do I stop being too smart?

Well, in society is very difficult to be yourself (assuming you are intellectually superior than anyone) and get the results.
I think the easier way to get what you want from stupid people is to pretend you are just like a normal idiot person like them.

It's not that I want to call you out for being a pretentious douchebag, it's just that someone who loves himself is often blind to his own shortcomings. There's no reason to fake humility, but this self-aggrandization is not conductive to personal reflection.

Your incapacity to bond with people in a meaningful way has likely little to do with your so-called superior intelligence. Speaking from personal experience, as someone "off the grid", authenticity and integrity of character are extremely useful traits to attract interesting characters to your life, granted that you yourself are interesting.

You should also cultivate traits like trust and charisma that allows people to open up to you – I've met many people who are appear to be average, but are strange as fuck when you get to know them. It is most likely a mixture of the social stigma of standing out and the introverted nature of weird types.

On a final note, it is difficult to understand what you mean by "smart", as there is a great variety of fields that require different forms of intelligence. IQ tests are mathematically biased, primarily testing your ability to think in structures and patterns. It has little to do with your ability to write an epic poem that captivates people for centuries, to create music that sings to the innermost chambers of the soul or spinning graceful tales that cracks people up with laughter

OP, other people are useful and interesting if only you knew how to properly socialize and compartmentalize your interactions. Read a book or two about interpersonal communication. Go figure out that it's a chess game and every action, verbal or nonverbal, has an immediate reaction and a long term context to your relationship with that person. Smart creative people feed off of others for inspiration and entertainment. Even Sherlock Holmes had a friend and used his intelligence to interact with other people and bend them to his will. This isn't even an ethically bad thing to do in most situations. People only interact with others for a handful of reasons and a handful of ways. There is something wrong with you you can not constructively look within yourself to see that this is how society works and in order to accomplish any goal you set for yourself you must play to those around you. It's quite fun once the magic of socializing is taken away. There are applicable communication theories for most any interaction. Why not apply your brilliance to something you despise so you can get over yourself?

Actually, you can't.

Try to write something in a way someone with less than 85IQ would write it. Just a paragraph or two. You'll do fine at the start, but in a few sentences, you'll see that something betrays you as too intelligent. It just doesn't work, your brain can't function like that.

Btw, a 30-40IQ difference is more than enough for two people to operate on entirely different levels, and can't properly understand each other. If you have average IQ, imagine trying to talk to a chimpanzee and to adapt to their society, live by their customs, somehow prosper in it... they'd tear you to fucking shreds.

Sarcasm or not, sincere or not. Some valuable advice.

I'm not friends with them because of how smart they are or arent. I'm friends with them because we share similar values, ideas, hobbies and enjoy each others companionship.

Have you ever considered that dumbing himself down is something that he would consider degrading and normally "not worth" the gain he would get from befriending normal people? I don't mean dumbing himself down in the sense that he never references Ulysses in conversation, but rather dumbing down everything, like his behavior and his interests, simply to get along. He very well may be "capable" of making friends with normal people, but may consider the behavior he would have to adopt a form of debasement. Remember, he said he can "only be himself", and if being himself (assuming he's otherwise well-adjusted, just erudite) makes him an outcast, then we're stuck in a quandary. How do we promote the best possible experience without debasing ourselves?

Consider for a moment that it not his appeal to other people that is the problem, but the appeal of other people to him. Especially if you're a moralistic type, it's a tough proposition to find things in common with other people, given the multitude of hedonistic ways people have been encouraged to destroy themselves and their potential. Unless you can offer a compromise of how to make the best out of our interactions with other people, then I think this conversation will just get derailed with the standard "stop being pretentious" response, which is sometimes applicable to narcissists, but not generally applicable to upstanding people. Is having standards "pretentious"? I hope not.

He can still be intelligent and misguided for all we know. A lot of us became jaded during formative experiences. Let's talk about how to unleash our potential instead of bashing each other over perceived or real behavioral pathologies. We wouldn't be making these threads on an anonymous forum if we didn't want to improve ourselves, even if we do provide some pushback at first.

Now, what if we're dealing with a person with either low self-esteem or high self-awareness, who also happens to have high moral standards, who doesn't know how he SHOULD interact with other people. He admits that he can manipulate well, but doubts whether that is in good character, or whether that truly can cover up the degenerate way the world is.

Do you know what the only solution I'm seeing to all of this? Being a shining exemplar who can bring the best out of people they didn't even know they had. And that's incredibly difficult for anybody, but a commendable goal to strive for. Is anybody else seeing where I'm going with this? Why not have a more positive and sophisticated thread for once?

Where did you all get the idea that dumb people don't like clever people? Just be witty and amicable instead of dry and technical.

Also, can someone give an example of a social interaction that someone else might do but would be too manipulative for OP? We all seem to have taken this for granted, and I'm sure there's ethics of social interactions but really in my daily experience it's very easy not to run afoul of them.

Babies are easier to talk to than degenerate adults.

as a left-wing person i actually think that's somewhat acceptable in practice, but maybe not in writing. Women don't really grow up in some ways, it's in their wiring, helps them relate to children.

you're taking the john von neumann kids thing too literally. the point is that he had a facility to descend to other peoples' level and relate to them there, a skill he must have developed out of necessity

although as an aside, haven't you noticed that many adults (maybe most of them) are quite adolescent, even childish, in the core of their being? the adult world is full of kids playing dress up. that's just reality. hence the ubiquitous pop-psych meme of getting in touch with your "inner-child", because the statistical probability is that you're a child shrink-wrapped in social conditioning that took over your development circa age 11

We're talking about the general state of society, anon. Children are pleasurable to deal with because, despite their mischief, they're innocent and impressionable. There is something demeaning to have to debase yourself to relate to other people.

We aren't talking about "how" in the basic sense of "how" to interact with other people. We get that. It's not hard.

And there are people who deserved that take-down, and there are plenty more people who took that advice and still found themselves a bit empty inside.

If you were the smartest man on earth and 20 points ahead of the next one, you might have a valid problem.
But you're not "too smart for the world" just because you don't like football. In terms of intellect, you're an absolute regular joe. If you weren't, you'd be satisfied sitting in an ivory tower with your work, or you'd be enjoying a circle of like-minded rocket scientists you call your friends. All the genius-level men we know of had no problem socializing and being social animals - unless they were sociopaths with low self-esteem. But then it's not the intellec that gets in the way.
And I suspect the same for you. You sound like an awful human being to be around and you rationalise it as "just being too smart to connect".
You strike me as someone too smart for some social circles but too dumb for other social circles, and definitely too dumb to realise there are different social circles for that very reason and that it's in your hands who you surround yourself with.

I actually like watching sports. I made it work for me. I did take that advice that you mentioned earlier, anon. I had some real blunder years that I had to get over. Unfortunately, I still have some real gripes left, and let me be clear that it has NOTHING to do with IQ.

>In terms of intellect, you're an absolute regular joe. If you weren't, you'd be satisfied sitting in an ivory tower with your work, or you'd be enjoying a circle of like-minded rocket scientists you call your friends.
I'm studying at a HYPSM-caliber university and I have a few high-powered friends that I get along with just fine. But there are plenty of other intelligent people that really get on my nerves, like those who overwork themselves during the day only to became a debauched mess at night, breaking down into a mess over regrets in their hedonism and nearly choking on their own vomit. It's one reason I don't drink anymore. I can't bear to stand alcohol.

>And I suspect the same for you. You sound like an awful human being to be around and you rationalise it as "just being too smart to connect".
Maybe you should do less suspecting and maybe read what I'm arguing instead of tackling a straw man. Reserve some judgment and stop being an insufferable dickhead.

>You strike me as someone too smart for some social circles but too dumb for other social circles, and definitely too dumb to realise there are different social circles for that very reason and that it's in your hands who you surround yourself with.
It was never an intellectual problem that I had instead of a moral problem. We tolerate shitty lifestyles and shitty ways of conduct. And it's debasing to have to adjust to those levels. There are plenty of low IQ people who live perfectly wholesome lives and the time to educate themselves, and there are plenty of high IQ people who willingly embrace the path to self-destruction and degeneracy.

Social life is a game of deception, and it fucking sucks. I'm at university, and everything is politicized now. It's like a soft inquisition. I'm a former socialist turned conservative, still believe in historical materialism to an extent, but I've become more jaded towards the state of the world, especially how leftism (in my view) has been co-opted by corporations. I'd be fine with avoiding politics, but everything is now about politics (at least at my university), and I have to keep an elaborate charade to avoid people from figuring out that I'm a social conservative and targeting me for it. I'm not being paranoid. It has happened to other people in the community. I do not want it to happen to me because this is my golden ticket. You can't escape social reality, and it's a miserable experience desu. And don't get me started on our materialistic society (though we've all heard that spiel).

>the "why" is to reduce your level of suffering, which you must be struggling with for you to have even entered into this discussion with me

These posts rang true for me.

Forget about the "hurr hurr I'm a tortured MENSA member" crap. I'm a bright guy, and while I'm certainly no genius, I have a good idea of what it takes to be a good, well-rounded, and developed person like any educated person here. Yet, I do my best to keep myself humble, because pride leads to self-destruction without fail. I can't keep silent about everything for long, though. It still bothers me how we, as a society, encourage other people to embrace a high school mentality and enable other people's terrible lifestyles. Even social justice is catching onto it when people try to associate fat shaming with more legitimate abuses. Am I supposed to "live with the times", "refuse to engage", or "inspire others"? I don't know.

I try to live a balanced routine, keep my comments to myself, try to let loose and have fun with others, but too often I'm forced into situations where I literally have to "dumb myself down" or to put it more aptly, "degrade myself" just to handle other people. Friends, I'm not complaining about the lack of Shakespeare in our day-to-day lives, but what can be said about the stupid social games we play in pursuit of mindless materialism every day, covering up what matters the most? I want no part of inauthenticity anymore, or at least find a good outlet so I can stomach the times where I have to put up with other people for the good of everybody around me.

No. At first I grouped you in with OP because I thought you have the same issue, but you hijacked his thread while claiming to have a completely different issue. But then you never outright state what your issue is.

So I have to go by the indicators you leave, such as having to debase yourself to be on the level of other people. I'm not trying to win any arguments, I just have similar feelings sometimes so I'm using this as some kind of Socratic dialogue.

If you don't have a problem with dumb people, and you have friends you get along with, then what exactly is your problem? That SOME OTHER PEOPLE who you DON'T even hang out with have a lifestyle you don't like? And somehow you just cannot go on living by just not partying later in the day?
Like I said, I thought you're as isolated as OP. But there are so many people who lead lives no more morally abhorrent than you that I don't understand why some druggies, sluts or fuckups constitute an existential problem for you?

I think I've made it clear here. Most people are their own worst enemies. I have a problem with the choices people make for themselves and their consequences from the smallest daily interactions to the worst collateral damage they inflict on others. You can't just avoid degenerates when they've influenced the environment in which you socialize.

>That SOME OTHER PEOPLE who you DON'T even hang out with have a lifestyle you don't like?
That's a bit of a ridiculous caricature and you know it. I don't hang out with people because they have said lifestyle. I'm perfectly fine with being alone but I regret that I'm missing out on crucial experience or some spiritual challenge. My mindset can't be healthy but the arguments and observations that have led to it can't be ignored.

>But there are so many people who lead lives no more morally abhorrent than you that I don't understand why some druggies, sluts or fuckups constitute an existential problem for you?
So many? I don't know what you're thinking about. Not a lot of people living like they're Peter Hitchens, and it's becoming more unfashionable by the day. If you're not drinking, smoking, and partying every day, if you're not rejecting the old Western canon for puerile garbage, if you're not perpetuating the high school clique-ish mentality that has been encouraged by social media, then you're often seen as a total weirdo or a social outcast.

Socialization requires two people to come to terms on what matters in the long-term and to have shared interests. Unfortunately, nothing that I think matters seems to matter to other people, despite their objective importance that everybody should consider. Even when I used to party and drink, few people want to do something adventurous like go on a journey, instead settling for the path of least resistance of talking about boring, crude shit in the hopes that they'll get laid. And that's the problem, you can't fake caring about this in the long-term because you will either expose yourself and became lonely anyway or you will be eaten away by resentment towards humanity.

What happened to living like a patrician who took care of themselves because you only get one shot at life? What happened to trying to figure out how this world works? What happened to do no harm?

I can sympathize. I'm highly self-aware and "intelligent" along with being well-read so conversations in "my group" is little more than gossip or shallow talk about the Kardashians or the next Bachelorette. I can't talk about such mundane topics genuinely.

Here's a link. I've taken it more than 4 times in the last 2 years with the same results. I read their info and for me it's accurate. A simple Google search will give you both pros and cons and you will see the validity to both sides.

As for IQ, I have a very low one since it's mathematically based and I was taught during the self esteem era and not the new way math is being conceptually taught. Therefore I never excelled since 5th grade.

I'm sure some women have a high IQ. I don't, however, and I actually don't think any sort of standardized testing is any accurate depiction of intelligence or ability. I self-studied for high school and I only got a 28 on my ACT, but it was the highest in my district had I gone to the public school. I think 24 or 26 was their best. So, all in all being homeschooled helped me more than a public education. I want to choose what I learn, not being told what I have to learn.

IQ= Intelligence Quotient meaning you are given a number that supposedly determines how smart you are.

An ACT is a test that everyone takes during their third year in High School to determine college placement. It's scored out of 36 and the average score is between 18-21.

Homeschooled means I studied by myself at home, including choosing my own courses and topics of study.

My nigga. If it weren't for the internet I would hardly ever willingly interact with people more than two standard deviations above normal intelligence.

7'0" 170 IQ ubermensch reporting in to unmask the original poster's delusion of higher intelligence.

No individual of truly higher intellectual profundity would gauge themselves using an inaccurate measure such as the intelligence quotient. Furthermore, being unable to empathize with the average man due to his lower cognitive abilities and glean insights from them is in truth an indicator of your own lack of cleverness! In fact you haven't stopped to consider that you should attempt not to interact with people less intelligent than yourself, but to instead surround yourself with people of a vaster wealth of knowledge and talent than you!

I ask, what achievement makes you seem more intelligent than other people? Where you born into great wealth? Are you exceptionally studious? Can you solve mathematical equations mentally with a great deal of ease? Or are you simply sharp as a tack with the ability to retrieve information from all of the books you have perused?

I never considered myself to be smart, but I do notice a lot of people around me are shallow and stupid. Not only are they obsessed with mindless materialism, they also have opinions on things they know nothing about. Well, as a human being, you need to have thoughts on everything, but I personally try not to talk about, for example, sports or politics, because I hardly know anything about them (the latter I know more than the former, though, because of history and philosophy). I often cringe when I talk with some of my colleagues because I really need to simplify my thoughts, as I know how they will react to them if I told them completely (think that I'm weird, not understand me completely or maybe at all etc.).
I just wish people to be more self-aware (and also to explore things like literature) and not materialistic, but on the other side, I think that if the majority became like that, this society wouldn't exist.

OP you're a fool, but at least you claim to want to improve. Here's my advice to you:

I think you must be unsatiable, if you are unwilling to pay the price for which these things are sold, and would have them for nothing. For how much is a coffee sold? A euro, for instance. If another, then, paying a euro, buys a coffee, and you, not paying it, go without it, don't imagine that he's gained any advantage over you. For as he has the coffee, so you have the euro which you did not give. So, in the present case, you are not involved in a certain social life, because you have not paid the price for which membership is sold. It is sold for the behaviours and opinions you've already written of. Pay the price, if it be for your advantage. But if you would, at the same time, not pay the one and yet receive the other, you are unsatiable, and a blockhead. Have you nothing, then, instead of the social life? Indeed you have. The question is, which one do you value more? You can't both have your cake and eat it.

I don't really think people are stupid most of the time. More likely they are ignorant, uninquisitive and lack the ability for or will for more abstract thinking. Egoism and socializing is more valued over extensive knowledge. This tends to leave the more silent observer as an outsider. Complex issues usually don't have simple solutions so people resort to knee jerk reactions such as "philosophy is useless handwaving". It's depressing for a person wanting more insightful exchange.

Well said, I completely agree, a lot of people have the potential to comprehend certain knowledge, but they don't want to. I want to say that this age dumbed us down (especially because of social networks), but it wasn't that much better in the old days.

I too don't want to degrade myself in order to engage in social activities, sometimes it's just too hard to do that. My whole existence (as I told it to myself) is based on self-improvement so dodging people that don't have anything to offer is logical, yet I can't surround myself with people that are better than me. I live in such a place where people like me are an anomaly.

Do I have to be a demigod to get to know other demigods?

even if you are in the 99.9th percentile there are still around 7 million people on this planet in that percentile. if you are really having trouble socializing with people seek these smarties out yourself; I'm sure you can figure out the means if you're so smart.

but really highly intelligent people tend to be boring anyways and if you can't figure out answers to your own questions I question your own

I mean.. is university not an option? At the very least, find a university town. You might be allowed to attend society events - find one that fits your interests, and you might find some friends.
Once you have those, it's much easier to warm up to other people.
I found the whole experience of forced socialising at university VERY helpful and enlightening.

I have a pet theory that the 'N'- component corresponds to the activity level of the default mode network at rest. I'm not so sure about its connection to other areas of the brain, or the differences between Ni and Ne. I imagine that Ni communicates more with long-term memory, and is more strongly coupled to the task-positive network, whereas Ne is more free-floating. idk. I just found this, which is interesting. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4999800/

However, I think sensors can be far more intelligent than Ns assume, just in a less intellectual way.

Why does it always come down to a question of intelligence? Why can't the debate be centered instead on simple openness to experience and knowledge and how to cultivate that in, if not the crowd, than at least the people that you associate with. >>9740102 >>9737986 has the right idea, but the shining example he means to set is a humanistic one. Where are our renaissance men? Look at the 'discussion' above and ask yourself. If all of these children were exposed, from youth, to the literature of the world, in the context of world history, with dialectical approach of philosophy and the humanities and social sciences in a concerted and thoughtful way by their teachers, they would grow up to be the shining exemplars for humanism that the modern world desperately needs. People not just with understanding of the foundations of the current world from many different points of view, but with a moral character tempered by the hard-won experience of others. I might even vote for someone like that.

I am certain that 99,9% in this thread are not smart enough to give you advice you haven't thought of already.

Here's some advice:

Having fun and finding kinship doesn't require you to be on par or dumber than the other person, sometimes people bond over interests and activities, personality quirks and a common sense of humour that doesn't require you to be on equal footing in terms of intelligence. I think you might need to work on your personality more than you need to work on finding someone as smart as you, because even smart people don't like arrogance. Seeing as you probably don't live in a low IQ country meaning that the amount of people close to your level of intelligence is probably greater than a couple of people per hundred persons I would be inclined to believe that you haven't befriended any smart people because they do not wish to befriend you.

Get over yourself and have some fun, it's the smart thing to do.
