@coaching.gifted: Highly intelligent individuals often tone themselves down in order to avoid being misunderstood or labeled as too much. This can cause a lot of frustration and it can also feel lonely. #highintelligence #highlyintelligent
I typically go from A to C then have to come back and explain B

They attack me for being right and I know a lot of different subjects .. I learn everyday where others try to fool themselves and others by trying to be authoritative

I went my whole life not knowing I’m highly intelligent but I have frequently been told I’m intimidating. Now so many things make sense to me

I do the opposite and ratchet up the knowledge dump x10. They will never get me so why bother trying to cover up.

Try growing up black in the ghetto. Intelligence gets you deemed weird or abnormal. You learn to adopt simplistic traits and colloquial dialect in order to assimilate easier.

I’ve heard comments like “patronizing” “talking down to people.” It really illuminates how strongly others tie their self worth to their intelligence, especially if they believe they don’t have it.

work, friendships, relationships, family. I tone myself down everywhere and people still tell me I'm too much.

Misunderstood? Who else got as a child, “say whatchu mean.” BC adults were actually ignorant of verbiage spoken by a child. A child will remember a cold stare from an adult.

I gave birth to a girl who grew up to be even faster and deeper and funnier and more complex than me. She’s grown up now and the conversations with her are sooo liberating and fun ❤️

Worse is trying to explain how your brain processes information so quickly without sound braggadocios. I’ve had people at work ask how I come up with workable solutions so quickly, but I usually just say it’s my experience from years of working in that department.

if you're all soooo intelligent in the comments, why don't you set up a forum where you can all be highly intelligent together

Having to learn social colloquialisms and idioms,slang and simplification down to 5th grade has become a way of life

They tell me you can’t tell the future but when you’ve learned patterns you can predict things and people don’t like it.

Is it bad of me that I enjoy watching things go side ways.
Especially after I've try to explain
But I know they were deliberately missunderstanding.
I do love a good "I told you so".

This is the first time I've heard someone nail it for me. I like intellectual conversation. The nuts and bolts of what we talk about. Yet, people don't want to

When I was younger, whenever I used "big" words that accurately and concisely describe what I'm trying to explain, I got the, "Ooh, fancy with the big words"
