>>34523936
>"restrict" my self-awareness and take life "less seriously"

How would you do that anyway?

It's not like it's voluntary.

>tfw to intelligent to be not depressed

She LITERALLY just told you to "stop being yourself dude, you just gotta be yourself lmao"

I unironically suggest you find a new therapist.

>>34523994
It would be worth it simply to not share a world with people such as yourself.
>>34524018
>>34524040
I highly doubt either of you understand what I am going through.
>>34524072
Considering it.

>>34524149
>It would be worth it simply to not share a world with people such as yourself.
So why not commit it then?

>>34524166
I don't think a person such as yourself can comprehend my struggle, there is the constant cloying knowledge that I can achieve something "great" - but it is counterbalanced by the existential dread of having stared into the void and knowing that no "contribution" to "society" has any intrinsic worth.

I suggest you continue your search for Truth. Have you delved deep into religions? And no, I don't mean following what the Church says, I mean reading the books that the Church is based on.

And not just Christianity. Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Animism, Shamanism, all religions. They all contain fragments of truth.

Above all, my primary advice to you is to meditate. Meditate a lot.

I relate to you in many, many ways. I've been there before. It might not work for you as it did for me, but spirituality and the ongoing quest for truth is what got me out of that stage (or at least is slowly getting me out)

If you want a point from which to start that is still very scientific, look into Carl Jung's work.

>>34524028
I do with copious amounts of booze.

She also forgot to add massive ego to the list.

There is a subtle line between the the mind and the heart sounds to me like tou're trying to justify your anxiety with being too smart. You may have a superiorly developed brain and a quicker than average intellect, but if you let your emotions take the better of you and cloud your judgement, I'm sorry to say, but you are not smart nor are you wise.

In fact, your lack of emotional control is crippling your ability to use your superior mind to its full potential. Learn to know yourself better and learn self discipline, you will realise that you were not so smart and that you could have used your mind better all along.

By taking things less seriously, she is encouraging you to focus your strong mental in a more rational and positive current so that you can learn to let go of the fear that causes your existential crisis.

Right niw, you are letting your vanity give you excuses to stay in the confort of your anxious mind.

Ok, but I'm not the one having to deal with such severe anxiety I have to see a shrink. I can respect intellect, but wisdom trumps a superior mind that is driven mad by itself.

The wise man knows to let go. He, also knows to respect the futility of existence.

tfw too wise for intelligence

I came to this board for guidance. I had long considered it too be a refuge for intellectuals beaten down by the deluge of society - and but whom could achieve great things were it not for their crippling apathy and failure to find meaning in a meaningless world. As time has gone by, I have seen the board fall in quality more and more over the years, with formerly mental rigorous discussion giving way to low quality posts propagated by low IQ sheeple. Consider this thread one great last hurrah for this board - a post of real meaning to mark an end to all good posts and to make way for the countless derivative drivel that will undoubtably follow it. I must take me leave now, I am working on my manifesto, which shall be delivered to publishing houses around the world no later than the summer of this year. Good day.

>>34524028
'presence' is how my first therapist described it

which is when you're focusing on something and the majority of your thoughts are on that action.

withouy presence, we get clouded in thoughts and that creates a disconnect from the real world. very common for all of us. less thinking and more presence is an effective way of increasing your overall happiness. also meditation is similar to this...clearing your brain of thought and so forth

>>34524206
What? You're just dealing with Nihilism and apathy? Just fucking accept that nothing matters and then go do what you want. I mean it will take awhile for you to get to that point if you are actually depressed. It took me awhile to get there too. But it's not a novel problem to want to be super important and then realize you are unlikely to become super important and that the future sucks for humanity so regular contributions are also meaningless.

My fellow bratuha, I totally understand your troubles. When I'm forced to go outside, I see all these sheeple, none capable of individual thought or even reaching 1% of my intellect. Do you think we are able to lower our IQ to the levels of the recipients of this thread? Something which recently helped me a lot was to pop a xanny, all drugs are poisoning, alcohol will destroy your mind, but xanny is truly the thinking man's drug.

>>34524904
While I have had frequent romantic advances from the female gender (as indicated with relation to my therapist in the OP) I consider such petty social rituals as "dating" to be beneath me.

op is the kind of people I hate the most in this world
believes he is superior, yet he is a useless fag who contributes with nothing but bitterness

check em, fags

Holy shit, after all this OP uses "to" instead of "too". Hahaha, she's probably saying that to make you feel better about your severe autism, OP.

do you have any friends?
and why don't you try anything with girls if you say you have had your advances? maybe it could change your perspective

When your mind is already made up, it's useless to seek counsel from others.

No matter what anyone say, if it's not in line with your inflated self-importance, you'll just pretend that you didn't hear it. So I ask you this: What kind of advice or opinion did you expect? Were you ready to hear differing opinions or did you hope that we would just say what you wanted to hear? To me it sounds like the latter. Maybe, in your misunderstanding of this discussion board, you thought people here would fall in admiration in front of your use of elaborated vocabulary.

But I get it. You are young, you want to believe you are special and you misinterpreted something your shrink told you as some form of flattery. You heard "You are too smart to be happy." and you stopped at "too smart" telling yourself "fuck yeah I'm smarter than everyone else. Did you forget that you are unhappy?

You came here with a problem and a request for help, but your mind is already made up: You are just too smart to be happy. So stay as you are, obviously, you are comfortable with yourself.

As I said, the wise man knows to let go, so I will split ways with you and wish you good fortune in your pursuit of the betterment of your intellect.

LSD or Shrooms... one trip.... plan it out as something entheogenic with good people, etc. And reflect on these thoughts and much more. Plan the trip with much detail, but not as an itinerary, just have plenty of stimulating things available and around you in case something piques your interest or you need fodder for thoughts.... Do your research to be sure to have a good trip. Everyone should experience psycheaelics a couple of times but don't overdoit.
The end goal: Hopefully you can put your ego in it's place. You may be a genius but you can't ever say or think that - for one there is a ton of people out there and the more you dive into it and think you know, the more you realize you don't know. Also, you *almost* belong on /r/iamverysmart with this post. Thirdly, it comes off to some as elitist to say these things and people will tell you that it's all a justification for your other inadequacies.
. Be a genius but don't seek recognition from others or yourself as being a genius. There are a lot of very smart people out there. Anyone with a mind and all their senses has the potential to be "genius" in some capacity, although it may take more work than others. Yeah, dude, just humble yourself, Don't think too highly of yourself (or too lowly). A balanced life means you can have a balanced and disciplined mental life while simultaneously allowing yourself an appropriate amount of enjoyment of the more Hedonistic pleasures and ensuring that you are not crippled from neglecting your emotional or interpersonal needs.
Depression often does seem to come with the territory.... but there's plenty of things you can do that take a minimal amount of time away from you and maximize your ability to rise above depression.

>op is the "tfw two intellegent" meme
i am the same way, op, except i dont pride myself on it. it matters not that you're smart. this is because you are not wise. if you were, you'd have considered the idea that existence is a giant meme. the purposeless nature of which leads the wise man to one conclusion: suicide. i am not one to kill myself on an immediate note, however, as my humanity pulls me from that concept. instead, i kill myself slowly. drugs and liquor provide me a better metric of empathy relating to the common man. the life of a fool is a good one. become foolish for but a moment, op, and you will learn what it means to live.

yes im a faggot

get over it, just because you are not as dumb as the other kids in your school it does not mean that you always are the smartest around. you clearly lack life experience and are delusional to the point not realizing that you need the help of others to overcome your personal problems.

ok if you actually aren't trolling, consider this. I apparently have an iq of 136, which is quite high, but I managed to finish school in an absolute horrible way with the worst grades, beeing a total outcast the whole way through.
i did alot of stuff trying to find work after getting out of school, and I met another guy in the same situation. my point is that I realized even while I actually am smarter than most of the people I will meet, it does not help me in any way at this moment and I hurt myself for thinking I am superior and I accepted my fate and worked my way up from some immigrant halftime jobs with lots of illegal unpaid overtime to co manager of a small company with 4 shops in the region. it surely is not much but the current manager is going to retire and will most likely promote me. i got up here all the way by just ignoring that I am smarter and just using my intelligence to deal with problems in the best way possible. oh yeah what i wanted to actually say is that this other guy is probably lurking here beeing a useless depressed neet, get fucked thomas you piece of shit who is smarter now i wish i could see your pathetic face
