Oh my god thank you. I think it’s because they don’t have any achievements they’ve worked for but they still need to be able to press some form of superiority down your throat. “College is a waste of time.. 130+ iq..!” please 😭 stop 😭

there's a point in consciousness where you're so smart you know what's wrong with you, but not smart enough to know how to solve it. They'd rather become fluent in speaking the language of their missery than try to get out of it

People who think other people don’t like them because “they’re just too intelligent” make it clear people don’t like them because they’re narcissists.

"I am too self-aware" is the new "I am very smart"

Thinking you’re smart because you’re sad because “smart people are more likely to be sad” is the most ironic thing ever

I've always thought about this, if you're actually intelligent you would find ways to solve the problems in your life and find the means to do the things that fulfill you and make you happy

High IQ is not the cause, neurodivergence is, the thing is a lot of neurodivergent people have higher IQs in average. Also no one actually wants to be alone, the thing is intelligent people don’t like most people, that’s why they tend to isolate, but it’s not always the case, humans are social animals and intelligence doesn’t change that. Besides from that I agree, it’s cope

That’s exactly what i’ve been thinking about, everyone assumes they’re the smart one and unique for being self aware, when in reality most people are like that

I do reject the idea that being smart equals being sad, However this guy in the video didn’t even specify the metrics he used to determine what’s “smart” is a socially constructed adjective it’s not biological. There are multiple types of intelligence and u can’t determine the outcome of any of them depending on their strength. Which is why I believe that being sad or being happy cannot be simply determined by if someone is “smart” or not. It’s heavily individualized and experienced based. Also correlation doesn’t equate causation so linking polls based on questions asked and answered by people isn’t really a reliable scientific study to initiate a consensus on.

IQ isn't the measure of intelligence. People who have higher iq have higher levels of life satisfaction because iq measures the areas that improve quality of life. IQ tests don't measure for example creativity. They don't measure emotional intelligence, practical intelligence, metacognition. The phenomenon of "I'm sad because I'm too smart" is substantially overstated but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

That stuff is not associated with high iq, its high neurosticism, a personality trait

neither Schopenhauer or Nietzsche were happy people you picked some bad examples. you'd think if you'd read Nietzsche you would know he wasn't happy and wouldn't pick him for an example it's pretty obvious

Carter Wells :
I get your point, but let's not pretend people like Nietzsche were happy. he had been stated to be emotionally exhausted throughout the majority of his life as a writer and philosopher and would use solitude as a way of seeking comfort in his own misery
