Hi all,

When I was ten, I went to see a child psychologist to get my IQ measured. Took a few hours and I was 136. This puts me in the top few percentiles. So whenever I walk into a room or forum I'm usually the smartest person there. I am not in Mensa lol to get that out of the way.

I have 3 bachelors degrees (took 3.5 years to get) in Microbiology, Clinical Lab science, and History. I got the history one almost by accident it was so easy to get. I have a masters in Clinical Toxicology. I have a high paying job, a beautiful gf, and a good family. I'm a bit nerdy but otherwise fine.

I think my main intelligence is not so much book smart stuff but being able to just waltz into any new situation and pick it up extremely quickly. I see to the heart of problems right away.

My problem is I don't know how to deal with being a near genius.

So GBS, How do some of you deal with just being plain smarter than most everyone you meet?

I'm an attractor for non-functioning retards who can stand on a mark and say a line. They usually don't know how to use a door or walk without hitting people or use money to pay for goods and services or park between two lines or speak to someone and get a response without a violent, angry reaction.

I'm actually quite social. Have a nice gf, a good job, plenty of friends, my family is pretty great too.

Its not so much loneliness. But a wish that there were more people at my level. I just cant have deep convos with my gf and anytime I have to train someone at work they just seem unbearably slow. I'm always polite and patient though it isn't really any fault of theirs but mine. Its a fault of perception and falsely increased expectations.

Shes not dumb of course but when you are in the top 1-2% if you restrict your dating pool to just that range you will be very lonely.
