  • We usually think of smart people as people who are destined for success and given more opportunities than others. But what if there are some problems that are more likely to arise if you are indeed intelligent? Are you too smart for your own good?
    If you relate to this video but you're still not convinced that you're actually smart, we have a video on the signs you may be smarter than you think: • 8 Signs You Are Smarte...

But someone said "who got that one wrong? " I just sat in the back quietly. Ofc the person in front of me just HAD to be nosy and they looked at my screen and said very loudly "she did! " and everyone looked at me laughing and I felt terrible. Like big deal I got one wrong. Cmon ppl it was a fun TRVIA game. I can't be this awesome all the time yknow.

      Well there are a lot of average or below average people. I don't think people should be ashamed of being below average because it isn't their fault. But unless you've had an official IQ test you don't know. More intelligent people apparently have more doubts about their intelligence, I've heard. Also there are other qualities that are very important too. Some smart people are terrible in other ways and lots of smart people do poorly in life.

There are people with photographic/Eidetic/../ memories remembering every intricate detail they have done/said/learned/thought/internalised/acted/what everyone else has said.. and more. People who innately comprehend material the level of Masters with confirmation from students or teachers that it is a difficult subject to master let alone by a glance look into it and know more than the teacher has been taught. My moms cousin is an alcoholic he lives in his apartment covered with books, his bed has sanked in stolen/bought books he might or might not be intelligent but for someone like him to exist comparable to me who barerly reads the amount he does per day, it's hard to think I'm even slightly intelligent instead dumb stupid pathetic loser - that's literally what I am every day

      8 and 9 are exactly how my life is. It’s weird how you can over do work and still be “lazy.” I can’t really agree with 7 because I never talk about my feelings, I was raised to know that it is only for bad people, so nobody can really understand me or not if I don’t give them anything to understand. For 10, luckily where I live finding a bully is like finding a four leaf clover. They’re very rare.

    in the part about developing psychological disorders, yes, people who are smart often have ADHD or ASD, but that is not caused/developed because of them being smart. you’re born with ASD, it means that our brains literally work differently.

  • @president00007

    We could say that I "was" smart.
    Back in my childhood (including middle school period) I was always stressed and anxious going to school. Even though I had really high marks, and it satisfied me, this happiness was too little compared to what I had gone through everytime (FYI: I was almost always suffering from fatigue, mostly because I'm introverted and y'know...) on top of that, I had really high expectations from my parents, which destroyed me psychologically because they always checked on me.
    I didn't know what I really wanted, until the first year of high school
    I finally knew that I wanted peace, that's why I stopped being the "smartest one" and I can't be prouder to say that. My parents for some miracle stopped to analyze what I did everytime so I was as fresh as ice: I went to school happily almost everyday (except tests but that's obvious, nothing wrong here 😂) and I mainly focused on tighting some friendships (even with teachers) and aimed at becoming a better person, that's when I was finally proud of myself. Yeah, I wasn't the smartest, but I was an educated and happy fella, probably the best feeling I ever felt (and still feel today).
    I'm still in high school, fourth year, still have to fight some obstacles, but I feel like nothing can stop me.
    I felt like sharing this here so there you go, it also made me feel better somehow

      Oh yeah. I procrastinate and am a perfectionist, but if I get below an M (my school does B (Beginning) I (Intermediate) M (Mastery)) I feel like a failure. My family teachers and friends are always telling me that I shouldn't be scared of failure, but it TERRIFIES me. I've always been the "smart, good, responsible kid, who is the teachers pet" but it makes me soooo stressed and always want to be right. Like, I shouldn't need to answer every question the teaches ask, but I want them to know I try.

    After seventy years that included hundreds of dreadfully painful days, trying my best to "fit in and enjoy" family gatherings (holidays being the worst), Covid, in all it's forms, has given me the one impenetrable excuse, with absolutely no guilt or judgement, to say "no" and stay home.

    @machineelf9459 2 года назад +8

    I was labeled as “gifted” in school and have an IQ of at least 149, which was the lowest I was tested. It started after I would frequently get in trouble at school for interrupting lessons too much combined with often not paying attention. It wasn’t so bad until high school where I become much more intently focused on my social shortcomings. I became obsessed over finding friends I could form close bonds with, but failed to seem to fit in to connect with anyone in a genuine way. I could get along with anyone by mimicking social norms, but always felt lonely. Plagued by that as well as an obsession of the meaning of life I became hopeless. I didn’t know it at the time but I had a major depressive disorder that wasn’t diagnosed until my adulthood as well as social anxiety. What made things so much worse is that during this time of existential rumination I stopped putting any effort in school above the minimum required to not fail classes. My parents, which alway though me so smart, responded with unkind words, restrictions, and other behavior that made me just reject life entirely. I developed a drug habit as they had such a profound effect in bringing back my motivation which only alienated me more from my family.
    Life as an adult work has been trying as well. I pursued early childhood education and work with parents under the principles that would have helped me as a child. I am successful but constantly find friction with co-workers over my obsessive and over analytical nature. While they simply want to maintain the job status quo and keep the same effectiveness over time to lower job difficulty, I only want to make constant improvements and always strive to create even more work than is necessary. I chase a perfection (perfection that is unattainable, I know) but this frustrates my employers and coworkers. My life hasn’t improved much but I can cope much better than in my adolescence. I am of course a night owl as well and don’t seem to tire but I don’t find this aspect of my personality that trying.
    I hope to continue to help parents to approach their children with a mindset of nurturing. More than anything we need to know we are loved no matter the results of our tests or whether we go to a high level university. Our personality and effort need be celebrated while avoiding labels such as “smart” or “talented”, which can be a burden one feels for life.

    1. Not necessarily sensitive to diseases.
    2. Yes, I'm a night owl.
    3. Yes, extremely high expectations, but I set those same expectations for the people around me as well.
    4. Yes I am always hyperfocused on little things meaning I miss 80% of what goes on around me.
    5. Yes I over analyze things because I can't work with surface level information.. It frustrates me.
    6. No I don't get stressed because I talk to myself 24/7 and I take lots of time isolating myself from people.
    I don't think I'm smart. I just grew to become a disciplined perfectionist because I've always had to do everything on my own, even as a child. So anything less than perfect is not going to cut it, because if I don't do it no one will. This is why I took entire group projects on alone and let the other team mates enjoy the ride. Anything less than my own standards isn't good enough. It even made me arrogant and selfish. But if there's no one to have your back, it's simply necessary. You could argue only an intelligent person could handle that kind of responsibility but I hate to differentiate between "smart" and "not smart". It's all in how much you care.

    One of my professors once said: smart people struggle with motivation/procrastination because they never had to struggle much initially. Unlike people who have to learn how to overcome struggles, we are not taught how when life eventually gets hard. It can be especially hard to ask for help when people see you, or you perceive yourself, as the smart one who should have the answers.

It's been quite taxing struggling to build up motivation and incentive that I really did take for granted a while back. Your professor speaks an honest truth, and I hope my school takes note of this and begins to reach out more to the students whose performance has been changing because of their own internal struggles and expectations.

    As much I'm a child, I seriously experienced this before. I tend to think a lot and over analysis everything, and have high expectations for myself. Its not fun to ponder on a idea so long or you might get very negative about it. Its basically torturing yourself with ideas you shouldn't think long and hard of. Every time I do something in a certain way or someone does, I will think and the end less ideas what it could possibly means even a emotion. Stress is a another thing, and OE's. I didn't realized I have OE's due to being labeled 'problematic.' Stress is way high on my list because I stress on so many things that exist and other that don't exist. To a point I started getting white hair. I have high expectations due to being praised as a kid for having the best scores on tests, spelling bees, projects, and etc. Now as a middle schooler, its hard because I need it so everyone knows I'm still the smart kid as before. Everytime, I see a bad grade on my report cards I just scolded myself for having that even its a B+ (its not fun)
    As a smart person, just try to do things on your own pace. If you didn't exceeded at the first time it means your not there yet but you have more to learn. Try to be organized as much as possible. Study's test & gets notes and ask questions! Don't be so hard on yourself for having a C's or D's even a B's because we are learning and we tried. What Im telling you is that just don't be so hard on yourself for having a bad grade. Just have fun and do your best.

Have always preferred night since the world is much quieter when everyone else is asleep. Easier to get around town and go shopping after dark as well.

    The worrying part with videos referring to "smart people", is that actually intelligent individuals (given that "intelligence" is extremely difficult to define by itself), should not really define themselves as "smart" anyway...
    Socrates said the phrase "Εν οίδα ότι ουδέν οίδα" which I think from time to time, and it translates as "the only thing I know is that I know nothing". The essence of this phrase gets down to: When you get to a high enough level of understanding of the world, you realize how little you really know (and probably will know till the end of your life).
    That realization really humbles you, and in my book actually directly contrasts with self-identifing as "smart". And I do get that knowledge and intelligence are two different things, but necessarily directly correlate with each other.

    • @ShortNecked_GreenGiraffe
      @ShortNecked_GreenGiraffe 2 года назад

      I agree... other than the fact that I myself self-identify as smart. I'm not narcissistic or anything (although usually they do tend to be smart anyways, but there's a whole other level of psychological stuff going on there). I just reckon it is possible to realise you are smart, while still in a humble way. for example, I only know because I began to notice how people didn't seem to understand me, I was very critical and analysing, hyperfocused on things, understood much harder things etc. etc. than other kids my age. And I suppose I must've stumbled upon some information like this I guess that kinda made me think I was smarter than most people and that was the only explanation, sooo...? on top of that, I certainly felt smarter. i eventually learned how to read people better and how intelligence actually works (while it is somewhat subjective), and from there I was able to understand how someone thought and what their capabilities were.
      ...I guess the difficult thing is I still question whether I'm still smart all the time, and many times tell myself I'm getting dumber even though that's not true.

      Who said we are inteligent by having theese issues? Ya'll have to understand that theese are "some" of the factors, more "above the average intelligent" human beings suffer. This is a place where we can understand each other and feel better knowing we aren't alone. If someone feels like they could be above the average, it's not because of theese 6 things but because over the years we have had our problems like teachers saying we are smart and everyone puts big amounts of expectations on us...
      It's very sad and lonely because i can't even conect with my family since they are never interested in stuff like astrophysics,geography,human anatomy,history...
      The point im making is that i doubt everyone is calling themselves smart in the comments, it's just that we tend to suffer from theese problems and others.

Now all her grades r in their 90s and my parents still see me as the smarter child so they think I should get better grades than my sister. idk what happened but ever since the pandemic, I could never focus in school for more than 5 minutes at a time and I get distracted so easily and this brought my grades down to their 60s. My parents were extremely disappointed in my report card last year and they said if I don't get everything over a 90 this year, its not gonna end well or something. rn too, i have 5 extremely important overdue assignments but im here watching this instead because I just cant concentrate no matter how hard I try.

      Almost every video that has a rare psychological disorder or is very positive, everyone in the comment section all of a sudden has it.

    I always get straight A’s and I have always been put in advanced classes and I suffer from literally everything you mentioned in the video. My attention span is horrible, and I constantly overthink things. When someone makes a negative comment I spend hours at night thinking about it, and it drives me crazy.
    I really needed to see this video, thanks 😊

      I've been in advanced classes (in a school that is a military school prep) since 2nd grade
      it's a struggle for me cuz people expect too much and I can't even keep up with non-advanced classes
