The Burden of having an IQ of 143
I always felt gifted, however my social circle always treated me.... differently....? (M18). I always thought people we're smart naturally, but alas it seems that's not the case. Now why did I write this venting intro you ask....? It's because of what happened today. Hear me out.
I was doing crosswords todays on the bus, as I always do, after attending my high school classes. Out of no where comes this beautiful Female. She ogled me in a weird, but promising way. There was tension as soon as I caught on. I stood up and simply said "Names (myname).". She looked at me again with a smirk and asked what I was doing. Long story short I had it in the bag.
Now, we are here. What happened and why am I writing? We somehow came to the IQ topic....
Ahhh IQ... It always hindered me. It's actually not fair. It is honestly exhausting living with an over analytical, high IQ mind because while you all enjoy simple movies, I am forced to sit there completely detached, instantly calculating every predictable plot metric and narrative arc within the first four minutes. I came to ask her and she said 103.... She was under me. I didn't show it, but she knew it. I told her my IQ and it became a deal breaker. She left.......
Why can't I be normal? Why can't I be like everyone else....?
Have any of you ever encountered something like this? I can't be the only one?
