Too Smart for Friends

Post Reply New Topic

i'm sure you'll feel differently as you get older.

wow I didn't realize there was a whole other page of people being stupid as f**k.

I don't have a PhD nor do I have any advertisement of myself. I have a link to my personal site which is not advertising myself and I don't care if you know my name or personal information? If you want to come find me and interact face to face I would not be afraid of that lol. I'm quite capable of handling myself.. I've never even been to Denmark so I have no idea where you're getting this information about a degree or university. I have not been enrolled in any school for years and was never enrolled in any university. I also don't live in Ohio anymore and don't intend to ever have an address again so I don't think anyone would find me anyway..

If you think you're being trolled by this thread that's probably a good thing (for you).

I would suggest that people meditate on the difference between having a valuative opinion and assuming to know someone else's intentions.

also, as always, think about what value is and what free will means more than you previously have. if you make it that far you can even study the structures of human habitats and ecosystems and maybe figure something out about that net loss in biological value that I was talking about..

We don't object to you thinking of yourself as very intelligent, or even having some valuable insights to share.

But your insistence that we are "stupid as f*ck" is the thing that rubs us raw.

Almost every person on this site has suffered bullying, brow-beating, blaming, scapegoating, prejudice, and problems with low self-esteem, so, you calling us "stupid as f*ck" is not exactly welcome. And it's not exactly a good way to make friends.

There are a lot of really smart people who post here, and plenty of people of lesser intelligence but rich in humanity. If you want to attract followers to your cause, show a little respect.

ps lurking on your other posts i see that you may be existentially depressed. I am not a genius and don't pretend to be but let me tell you i have felt, v often, that my existence is a useless sequence of consumption and causing hurt to other living thing with every step and breath i make. i understand the pain of isolation and feeling like no one gets me. I also have retreated into arrogance "i must be special" as a defensive mechanism. truly, i need friends. you need friends. we need those bonds to keep us sane - yes, maybe no one will TRULY get you but my guess is you are less alone than you think. you are just unable to fully understand another's person experience as we all are and therefore it is easier to assume others don't get it. as for biology - it is cruel, something i resent a lot but all i can do is live modestly and try not stepping on too many ants.

Maybe, just maybe, get off your high horse, and show some respect for people who are of a lower intelligence and think differently.

My opinion is that this world is full of unique people, and that is what makes this world beautiful. Doesn't matter if I converse with someone who has down syndrome or someone who is a professor. Can have fun with both, as long as they treat me as their equal and show respect.

You might consider yourself smart, but you still have so much to learn on the social aspect of life. Humor as well.

I actually feel like I'm too stupid for friends sometimes. I'd know how to better make & keep friends if I was smarter. I'd also have more going on in my life & be able to relate to the stuff others are into. People talk about the stuff in their life & I cant comprehend it or focus enough to.

You are wrong to conflate intelligence with not being able to make friends. Your post seems to indicate a lack of empathy , perhaps due to Autism Spectrum or perhaps due to something in your past, and that would be what is the actual problem. I agree with Gallia that you are probably suffering from existential dread, but I find it doubtful that you will find reprieve with your current tactics, as you are going about it in the wrong way.

Nevertheless, if you insist on thinking that you are too intelligent for us mere mortals, I think you will find more like-minded individuals on the honorable 4chan or perhaps the dark web.

I, for one, think the responses to your topic so far have been not only appropriate, but demonstrate the type of wittiness and intelligence that you seem to lack. These are the type of qualities I would find extremely attractive in a friend.

TL;DR LoneLoyalWolf is correct to post that video. Kendrick Lamar said it better than I could, "Be Humble. B*tch, Sit Down" .
