You're not intelligent.

You aren't as intelligent as you think you are. Anyone has infinite potential when they don't apply themselves; it's when you do put the work in that you realise that you aren't capable of as much as you think

I recognize that calling myself intelligent leads to the disillusion that I can do what ever I want. Grow the fuck up, actual retard.

I'm just like you and I have to be honest doing this will kill us both in our careers

>I make over 100k and have stopped studying and stopped giving a shit about my job
>I spend all day shitposting and when it comes time to actual work I finish it flawless

The issue came up recently when I totally misunderstood a timeline with a project and thought I fucked everything up since I haven't done anything in months on this project and had to pay for it by getting on a meeting

One of the issues is this idea that you or we are smart but lazy is going to be a problem eventually, it will get worse

I don't mean to project these feels, but I'm in the same boat and have climbed the ladder very high in this corporate world, but unlike some of the autistic on this site, I actually hate my job and my life

Eventually I'll stop getting lucky and my intelligence wont be there to help when i need it

Take it from me /anon/ this lazy behavior is a serious issue and it is probably better to find another career if at this point you're getting lazy

>people tell me I've gotten too comfortable at my job and this is true

Comfort = laziness and depression

You think you're lazy because you don't like what you do?

>>62292220
>Comfort = laziness
Nope. There are tons of hard working rich and comfortable people. Laziness is just an affect of low intelligence most of the time. It's a signal you have a short time horizon and can't defer gratification. Obviously, some outstanding savants are "lazy," in that they can't stand doing normal everyday necessary things, but they're savants because they aren't lazy at something like solving extremely difficult mathematical problems or the like.

So yeah, it might be you're not actually all that lazy or it might be that you're really lucky and got up the ladder by chance. But it's statistically much more likely that anyone who is genuinely "lazy," is just dumb.

I started in cybersecurity and thought for a long time that what I wanted in life was to achevie something very high in this field and to never give up. I did just that and I stopped hanging out with people and ended up focusing on studying and learning either at work or at home. Eventually things went south and I was being promoted and had to train other people and teach them my skills, that's kind of where I learned that other people who work with me don't really know shit and they don't put in the amount of effort as me. I stopped studying since I was always alone and always studying or working on something from work, I completely gave up on studying for certifications 3 months ago and have spent every day playing video games. Truth be told, I have no friends and this work/life is really painful on the mind since you can be really good at what you do and one day you figure out that other people actually socialize outside of work and you're the guy who never gets invited anywhere.

These days, I want to start studying again and end up getting promoted in the next few months, but for what reason? To climb the ladder again, and to make more than 150k and join the solutions/architect team?

For what reason? I'm single and alone, the other guys are married and spend their time working or sitting at home with their wife

I have nothing anymore, except this career and I used to be so busy and happy I didn't care about being alone. But now, I can only see myself being alone and miserable at this job forever

>the sole difference between me and Einstein is that Einstein actually did something
You can similarly compare yourself to a garbage collector.

I know that feel OP. I have 160IQ, I only run Windows 10 LTSB completely free of the botnet, and I had big plans to have start my own open source AI project. But I'm really lazy and didn't get around to it. It's hard being so intelligent and lazy

in my case it's mostly loneliness and lack of socialisation that causes me to loose motivation to do things. It's weirdly hollowing feel.
