How do I deal with being more intelligent than everyone around me?
Start hanging out outside your inbred family
Move out of special needs care center.

How do I deal with thinking I'm less intelligent than everyone around me but I'm actually more intelligent?
How do I deal with thinking I'm a genius compared to those around me, when I'm truthfully only above-average, and even then only at theoretical and intellectual pursuits not practical wisdom or so-called social intelligence?
Here, I'll post it again.

Unsustainable. Liquid Courage is like an intentional crutch, "I am only going to be as courageous as I can when drink ethanol"

Prove it and keep doing so until you're surrounded by smart people. If you think you're more intelligent than everyone around you but don't go to a top college and get a career where your colleagues are all gifted, then you deserve your fate.
Extra motivation: Ivy-league women are hot and way more fun than dumb bimbos.
What should I do if I'm literally too intelligent to live?
>>18121116
do a Mainländer
>>18121099
you aren't THAT intelligent if you even have to ask this question

Let other people judge how intelligent you are

>Let other people judge how intelligent you are
Considering 90% of people on this Earth are subhuman and should be eradicated I think I will not.

If you're really so superior to everyone nearby that it's unbearable then national borders shouldn't be able to stop your ascent to greatness.

I have no opinion on intellegence, but not all Ivy League students are gifted. More often than not, they had social/political connections that helped them get in.
And I'm aware of the share that worked their ass off to get in. Hats off to them.
>>18121128
>More often than not
That's not true. A distinct minority get in that way. You can tell who they are, which says a lot about how sharp the majority of students are.
>>18121123
correct
>>18121129
Do you attend an Ivy League? Or do you have experience?
I've considered applying at one for post grad studies after:
1. Serving the remainder or my time in the military.
2. Attending school abroad in some country with free education.
>>18121107
Work for something tangible that proves your supposed superiority. Then, use it as an anchor for your pride.

different poster, but I do.

Can you share your expiriences?
>>18121135
its not hard to get in as long as youre good at standardized tests. just cheese for the highest gpa you can get. Course rigor literally doesnt matter.
the faculty here tend to be brilliant and fairly accessible.
the students are certainly a cut above their peers at other unis, but its not like theyre people of overwhelming intelligence.
its not about finding the greatest people, its about culling the lesser ones.

>OP thinking he is more intelligent than everyone around him
Find new people to hang around with - but with an attitude like this, you don't sound like a cool guy to hang around.
>>18121099
By realising that you actually aren't that intelligent if this bothers you so much.
