To be happy you need to either think about everything or think about nothing.
Stop milling about in between and you'll find a remarkable world at either end.

>Social isolation is a common trait in gifted individuals, especially those with no social network of gifted peers. In order to gain popularity, gifted children will often try to hide their abilities to win social approval. Strategies include underachievement (discussed below) and the use of less sophisticated vocabulary when among same-age peers than when among family members or other trusted individuals.[47]
>Some believe that the isolation experienced by gifted individuals is not caused by giftedness itself, but by society's response to giftedness. Plucker and Levy have noted that, "in this culture, there appears to be a great pressure for people to be 'normal' with a considerable stigma associated with giftedness or talent."[48] To counteract this problem, gifted education professionals recommend creating a peer group based on common interests and abilities. The earlier this occurs, the more effective it is likely to be in preventing isolation.[49][50]
>Research suggests that gifted adolescents might have deficiencies in social valuation, mentalization,[51] and social adaptive learning.[52]
Trust me, you're not.
And since you're not happy, there's no point in telling yourself it's because you're too smart. The only reason why you'd do so is to feel better about it.
The truth is completely, entirely different and obvious if you open your eyes to it. There are plenty of people smarter than you out there, who are also happy.
