[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the conversations you want to be having and you find your friends are not intelligent enough to maintain? Is it maybe more that they are not interested or knowledgeable in the subjects you are interested in? What's the missing content? Do you want them to be philosophical about human existence? Are you wanting to debate some astronomical phenomenon? Because I have a hard time believing that most people you know can't carry on an interesting and deep conversation in general. 9/10 if I'm seated next to a random person, whether it's at a dinner party, conference, or client meeting I can find something interesting to talk about with the other person - most people are fascinating if you focus on asking questions and learning about what makes them tick/what they do/their lived experience as opposed to wanting to solve middle east peace at brunch.

If you have a specific intellectual interest and can't find people to share in discussion with, you should get involved in that field through volunteering/research/activism/work. If you think everyone is an idiot who can't carry a conversation generally you should talk to a therapist about your self perception, self awareness, and how it is impacting your ability to connect with others.

No, it's just a general issue of things not going that deep and not feeling very interested in most of the conversations I have.  I think I'm a great conversationalist, and have been told so by others. But I feel like I rarely have that "back and forth tennis match" fun interaction that makes a truly great interaction.  I wish i did.  I do think maybe it's the circle I keep, and maybe this is a feeling shared by other people who are highly intelligent, I'm realizing, and that others may have trouble relating.  It's difficult, because the more I talk about it the more I realize there probably isn't a concrete solution. [/quote]
