@Marisol M WARNING: [Please if you prefer understanding what I said and making sure your not misinterpreting what I said please read the entire comment or read it twice to make sure. Since this is a pretty long comment.] Or it means the person has self doubt because they are self aware of their lack of intellect. Or it's the other way around since just, because ones intelligent doesn't mean they are good at self awareness. If one doubts their intellect it's, because they know their intellectual flaws so they assume they aren't that intelligent. If one lacks self awareness, but is intelligent they may doubt their intellect, because they don't want to make assumptions about themselves when they don't know much about themselves. After all most intelligent people tend to do to much learning about THINGS rather than PEOPLE. So they might not be that self aware about themselves. Since weirdly enough learning more about others helps one learn more about themselves. So if you don't do enough socialising you won't understand yourself that well. Unless you do constant self reflection, which I am not 100% sure that would always work out for a person. Since you need more than self reflection to help understand yourself. Since you need to be able to look at other perspectives to further your understanding of yourself. Therefore you still need social interaction. Since most intelligent people are introverted or socially awkward this generally causes problems with the person's self awareness. Though this is not taking into account other things that might be able to by pass all that. Another thing to consider is that this video lists traits that MOST intelligent people have. Their is bound to be abnormality. Like extravert geniuses do exist. There is also the fact that plenty of people have these traits that are listed in the video, but are not geniuses. Most geniuses are introverts, but most introverts are not geniuses.

@Marisol M This is not true. Highly intelligent people rarely lack confidence in their general intelligence, instead they lack confidence in any specific opinion. Understanding that hidden facets of a construct can radically change ones understanding and opinion. Highly intelligent people see and and understand that that any equation which represents a real life phenomenon is going to be immensely complex making high levels of confidence in any specific model irrational.

One problem with being a highly intelligent person is everyone asks you for advice and asks you questions and when you have to tell them that you don’t know, they’re always surprised that you don’t know things It’s also difficult being intelligent with a very fast brain because you have to get your ideas out fast or you’ll lose them so you don’t have time for things like punctuation or correct grammar sometimes And some people will only look at grammar and punctuation in judge that as a sign of intelligence, but ignore the massive of paragraph I wrote that’s one thing I’ve learned a lot from Reddit people will ignore your entire point just to call you out on your grammar

Sometimes being intelligent is annoying because everyone will point your errors and look like something big happened. Everyone strives to be intelligent but when you are you get so overwhelmed.

When I was a teenager and realized that I was smarter than average, I started to use my intelligence as a tool for everything (something I kind of notice that people don't do), so I used it for personal growth and overcoming my challenges. I *used* to correlate with most if not all things in this list, but nowadays pretty much all the struggles are gone (although i still don't get out as much, mostly just due to being an introvert, but i still have an active social life)

Intelligent people know what to say in social surroundings they don't feel awkward only dorks do

This video offers great insights, but it overlooks a crucial aspect: Solutions to the struggles. Example: The power of mindset. The key to thriving in any situation lies not just in intelligence, but in developing the right attitude. It's essential to understand your purpose - to ponder deeply on why you're here. Setting clear goals for what you want to achieve during your time on Earth is just as important. Strive for excellence, be adaptable, and regularly engage in self-reflection. Ask yourself any day: 'Am I still happy?', 'Am I still on my path?' 'How can I improve?' Remember, it's the journey itself that's the true destination. Embrace this journey with a positive and purposeful mindset is one of the methodologies to live a happy and purposeful life.

At age 2.5, I got diagnosed with autism in the high functioning area. So I tend to think really logically. But I am so glad, I'm starting to overcome these struggles bit by bit. Because you can learn everything, and if you are one of the people who has these struggles, you can learn it even easier. So I'm fully on my journey to improve my communication skills so I can function well socially. I also really got fascinated in analyzing emotions and how the mind works and this really helped building EQ and feeling better overall.

Emotional intelligence is in my opinion one of the most important thing for success and happiness. No matter how smart you are if you cannot work and interact with other people you will have hard times.

Fascinating to see how there are so many different types of 'intelligent person'. My husband was a lot of the things described in this video : socially awkward; he hated any mundane topics and preferred only complex debate. He was bored if he wasn't tearing down some computer code to make it better. However he didn't enjoy the company of others not up to his intellectual level, which was almost everyone. I'm the one with high IQ but also EQ, so while I struggle with the paralysis by analysis, as well as procrastination and fear of failure, my greatest struggles are when I am alone, with no one to 'validate' my efforts. I make friends easily because I know exactly what to say to every individual, and can hold a conversation tailored to any situation, and I also understand other peoples' points of view to a high degree, which makes debating and philosophical grey areas my specialty.

Why would you hope for that ? We want people to think they are intelligent and we want them to be incorrect but think they are correct this makes it easier for us actual intelligent people who suffer these drones daily the opportunity to utilise these NPC characters to our benefit and make profits and build and innovate while they are distracted by things that we imply or teach them is important or is worth something , happiness for example , they think they need this or that it’s actually real or something that can be attained lol , the clever part is you just dangle something and say this will make you happy or show them another drone claiming to be happy and get them to smile because we told them smiling means happy , and boom they buy it , but it’s a double edged sword see even though happiness is just a concept and not a tangible proven or sustainable thing or feeling that doesn’t mean it can’t be attained. If they believe this house or car or clothes will make them happy then they will make themselves happy to the best their brain can be it , now this doesn’t last long because humans are better at suffering and hardship and adversity it’s why our species is the dominant species we are worse than cockroaches, you can try and drown and your body will automatically try to survive even better example is a drowning person will drown another person in order to survive without even thinking twice the instincts just kick in and it’s auto mode . So what we do is we let purchase our happy products then we get their influences to demonstrate they don’t bring happiness anymore which they don’t for long anyways because being happy is boring . Best idea was a pandemic , i didn’t buy into the danger of it but u thrived i the fear of society , watching these idiots buy all the toilet paper and show the true nature of humans when it’s do or die they always pick themselves over others it’s only later they will be kind to others and share things etc onl after they have seen someone else do it which is why they panic buying stupid shit in the first place , I could go on forever but I forgot what I was talking about because I’m looking at my memories of these idiots haha omg but yeah don’t go educating people please I need them dumb so I can exploit them , cheers

Well, I never thought about it like this until watching through this video. One day I may actually find peers worth talking to, I used to have a friend group but I think I outgrew them. Sad really because I do struggle socially, speaking to people generally bores me, small talk I do not care for and I do throw myself into random projects.

I relate to all of this except the last one "feeling pressured to succeed." Mainly because I don't care what people expect of me or want out of me. But all these points are spot on. I always hear "I wish I had your intelligence" I usually reply with "be careful what you wish for, I would trade it for acceptance in a heartbeat." When I go on trips, my radio is off so I can focus and think about a topic in my head. Or when I walk around in the store I have noise cancelling earbuds with nothing playing so I can focus on a problem in my head. I despise 'small talk' and I NEVER go out even though invited, when I am out (rarely), all im thinking is how to get back home to my studies. This condition is a lonely place.

I have some online groups who are friendly, but whenever I'm with people in person, I can't do any small talk unless it relates to my interests and hobbies. I also noticed that the location of an intellectual's home geographically wasn't mentioned and is potentially a very big factor when it comes to social awkwardness and friendship development. I'm located in a rural town away from most of the friends I've made in person from university and college courses, and so I lost contact with them very easily because whilst I knew them in person, I also felt that they wouldn't be interested in meeting up once the courses were over. However, in contrast to my situation, I believe that those who live in big towns and cities are more likely to have longer friendships than those who live further apart that are very likely to just say "let's meet online". It's just not the same. I want to be able to physically meet people I know online on a weekly or daily basis, but everyone I know feels like they live vastly different lives and live further than Id'd be comfortable with travelling. If anyone else who lives and feels like this, please comment or like! It would be nice to know if people agree with my thoughts.

In my opinion, it's rare that people would have decided to watch this out of curiosity, to increase their understanding about behavioral psychology. And that, in my opinion, is how this channel runs i.e A direct statement on your identity, is what runs this channel. However, the points mentioned here are valid but does not represent the entirety of the the personality or behavioral traits mentioned. Somehow managing to associate a common particular trait with intelligence has proved to be beneficial for both, the creators and viewers, financially and emotionally respectively. Keep it up. Test and practice your analytical skills, problem solving skills, spacial reasoning skills and verbal comprehension skills if a "higher level of intelligence " is what you desire. -A practicing Neurologist

To imply that "smart people" only want to talk about high-concept, complicated shit is stupid. I love debate and media analysis and high-concept stuff, but it gets exhausting. Talking about the weather or a something "unimportant" is easy. It's like saying "talented baseball players don't want to just play catch" or something. Of course they do. Shoot.

The connotations of ignorance are always negative.

The more knowledge you accumulate, the more benefits it rewards - because with more knowledge, navigating around the world becomes easier; your life becomes generally better. It is better to search for the flaws of something, rather than only watching its positive side.

Starting out with many of these early in life led to a systematic elimination of each problem encoutered through radical change. Social anxiety was cured through age and exposure to new people constantly via a “social anchor” (one well-known person). Analysis paralysis was cured through a fast-paced work environment with many difficult challenges requiring quick decisions to solve (carpentry) through a unision of mind and body. You must become comfortable with mistakes, especially as a leader. Others will scrutinize you less and respect you more if you actively admit your mistakes and work through them with your followers. Leadership isnt usually awarded based on merit alone anyway, so you shouldnt strive to prove yourself constantly through merit alone and relax a little bit. You can absolutely learn to enjoy the “abstract inept” thinkers and small talk if you incorporate your personality into the conversations and develop interpersonal relationships between a series of individuals based on inside jokes and twists on the mundane. Save your deep theoretical talk for others that enjoy it to avoid fatigue. Study rigorously and remain comfortably ahead in your field to truly enjoy your own mind and what it can bring for you. Im 26 and this is some of what I have come to learn about living so far.

Bah! Stupidity isn't being unable to relate to these issues. It's just like intelligence, there's no single definition. Don't go putting yourself down just because you watched a 7 minute lecture.

I like your name UwU

I've learned how to overcome these issues by accepting who I am. Also, there is no such thing as failure in my life. Every "failure" is a learning experience to better myself and to show my character and morals.

Oh those things are all too true... Besides my online friends, I NEVER IN MY LIFE have made any friends other than ppl in my class

the biggest struggle I can think of is: "am i actually smart enough, or am I going on confirmation bias based on what a few individuals close to me have said"

My Mom cried when she read my first standardized test scores in First grade; she said being so intelligent, I'd never be happy. Fifty years later, I can tell you that I am actually very happy, but it required stepping away from what she and most others would consider 'success'.

@@floydblandston108 It seems like you equate happiness to success, am i wrong to infer that? If that's how you view it then why? And please pardon me for inquiring if it's too invasive or personal. And if i may add some more questions. First of all i respectfully think you're mother was just worried about you but didn't know to use a better way to say it, and i apologize if It's like i am rubbing salt in your wound but knowing that it took you this long to find your happiness, where then lyed the problem? Did you try for example to do what you're mother told you in order to be happy but actually were wrong untill you were able to get out of it on your own? Or do you see some thruth to what she said based on your experience and what you witnessed around you regarding people that are intelligent or highly intelligent?

@@floydblandston108 Thank you for the suggestion, but with all due respect does it have to do with our discussion? Because as far as i am concerned, i've asked you a few questions, if you're not willing to respond it's totally ok but i wonder if i might be misunderstood or not but at least i know i yet to actually be explicit with my intention so i think it would be reasonable to give you the befenit of the doubt. Does your comment means you got what i intend to convey or that you assume you got it? P.S: I assume you are someone who has toughness but please do not worry, i mean no harm

I check all these boxes except that I'm not always careful with my words. When I write, then I'm very careful. But my social awkwardness can (and frequently will) override that cautiousness, and I end up saying some really unfortunate and ill-advised things. As for pressure to succeed, it is a hard one to deal with, but truth be told: it has propelled me forward to places I never imagined I could go when I was a listless and depressed self-medicator. I came to America with nothing 6 years ago at the end of this month, and now I'm married with 5 children and I bought a house almost a year ago. I still feel like I haven't achieved nearly enough. I am burdened to accomplish things, the felt necessity of which is like the need to breathe.

This is 100% me. I didn't know it until someone pointed it out TO me, because they noticed it IN me. Quite naturally I will study more on this subject, about me, so that I know how to navigate through the waters of social awkwardness.

Pro tip: large amounts of alcohol make small talk more interesting.

ShadowMatter Small talk for him and for me sometimes.

for years i studied and gathered knowledge and i wondered why the conversation becomes awkward once i join it. i think i should apply "The less i know , the better" mentality.

I overcame social awkwardness by realizing that the point to small talk is exactly that it is trivial. I small talk were serious it would become a way to threaten or intimidate others causing social interactions to be more adversarial . Social interactions should be non threatening so we can interact, therefore the subjects should be unimportant. I learned to talk sports and such as though I was just going with the rules of the game. I also realized that being outgoing and friendly is good if you make the outgoing action centered on building up the other person and showing a sincere interest in them. (Dale Carnegie stuff) Even the most inane social settings can provide examples of interest ,if you are bored, by looking at it all as a study in behavior. The friend part is hard, but the chess example in the video hit home for me. There are groups of people with similar interests where you can find friends, but it takes a lot of searching. When seeking friends however, you should look for good hearted people more than intelligent people.
