Yes, I am perfectly fine with going deep and have that with a few friends. But it's rare I find someone I actually want to go really deep with (i.e. talk about traumas or whatever). A lot of people simply arent that intelligent or insightful, ime. Wish I could find more people where there was a really deep energetic match, between what we think is fun, compelling, interesting, challenging, etc. it always seems like one of those things is just... out of sync.

This tells me that you're the problem -- not them.

Well, I mean, I have a tested very high IQ, so maybe I am "the problem", statistically speaking. I certainly don't find many people that I find I can truly have an intellectually exciting conversation with. And it's disappointing, because I'm an extrovert, and would love to be able to "go there" with more people. But I can't control my IQ, my intellectual threshold, or anything like that. And frankly, settling for being friends with people who aren't as intelligent has been really unfulfilling to me. So maybe these kinds of gifts are isolating. I wish there was a solution.

You sound like my gifted 14 yo daughter. She cannot and will not have friends who are not at her level intellectually.

Have you read the thread? She says her friends are "fake", but by that she means unable to have intellectual conversations...about celebrity gossip. And maybe photography.
None of this makes sense.

See this is the thing... you can be interested in celebrity gossip and still intelligent. There's nothing preventing those two qualities from overlapping. And it's a very out of date and misogynistic viewpoint to think they can't

Look I’m all about being the misogyny police with you, but it’s not needed here. Nobody is not saying that exists and isn’t fine. I believe that women should not be judged for working, SAHM, wearing lipstick, not shaving armpits, being a cook, being a welder. This and my response above you called out are about THIS particular OP and what she wants. People thought it was one thing based on what she was saying re intelligence but then she clarified. She became down to earth, but it was still a bit confusing. Please feel free to do your good work in another thread. It’s a reminder to me to read a thread before calling someone out, though.

Hahahaha I am shocked -SHOCKED- that you and your superior intelligence aren’t well liked in your circle!
