Do smart people actively look down on others? I am kind of a brainlet, well, compared to the other people in my class and I can't stop thinking how much they ''hate'' me, I know they don't, but I have this constant anxiety around them and can't seem to make lasting friendships with them

Some of them, probably. Most of them not though. It doesn't matter that some people don't like you. That's one of the most important lessons a lot of people fail to learn these days.

It‘s called a biased confirmation feedback loop.
You think you‘re stupid and people don‘t like you so you are always on the hunt for evidence that supports this ideas.
Make an experiment: vow to only look for evidence that you‘re intelligent and people liking to spend time with you. Ignore things that make you feel stupid or unlikeable. Do that for one day to begin with, then increase the time.
You‘re welcome.

we really don't

im told im smart but how much I believe of that is another story, but IMO the only thing I hate is when people purport knowledge they clearly don't have. Like a brainlet giving advice on computer parts. So as long as you don't make-up stuff in a vain attempt at looking smart they'll have no reason to dislike you. And maybe might help you in class.

Smart people are more prone to mental disabbilities.

Jow Forums intellectuals mostly have autistic traits, while normies are full blown narcissists. Normies in tech are usually both.

I find myself to be pretty smart in terms of problem solving and logic. I used to carry an air of superiority as a teenager. As I get older I find that almost everyone has something they can teach me. My best bro isn't always that clever, but he is more emotionally intelligent and good at showing people he genuinely gives a shit about people. If not for him I'd probably have zero friends after I moved away for a job. I'm really shit at making friends. My gf is kind of the same way, she's smart, but I tend to figure things out faster. She is like my emotional translator sometimes though, and she's better at pointing out when I'm making some kind of flawed assumption about a person or getting me to re-evaluate things. My brother barely passed college, but the guy has an unbreakable code of ethics, he's honest about everything he does.

You won't get far in life if you think intelligence is the king of character traits. People that go far tend to have some mix of people skills and intelligence. Or have good enough leadership skills to lead intelligent people.

That smartest guy I know is an absolute cunt who can't hold a job for more than 4 months because well... he's a fucking pretentious cunt. He's the dumbest genius I know because he can't figure out how to at least be tolerable.

If you were so smart you'd figure out how to get people to like you

Depends on the individual, like with most things. I've spent my life among highly intelligent and accomplished people, went to a top university in my country, hang around the top students and I worked in natural sciences.

Most won't actively consider themselves as having a superior inherent value as human beings, as if the dumber people are lesser creatures, but many will still look down on less successful and/or dumber people, even though they will often do that unconsciously. They'll socialise the most with others who have the highest grades, and avoid those with lower grades.

Why are people so sensitive about intelligence? If the guy wrote that he's good at basketball or playing the guitar, you'd just accept it at face value, but God forbid that an intelligent person is aware of his intelligence and dares to say it on an anonymous forum. Stop being so insecure.

"I should be allowed to lie about whatever I want"

shut up NPC

I laughed longer than I should've at that GIF.

Why do I feel like this is more of a response to this part of my post?

There are cunts of all intelligences. There are dumb cunts and smart cunts. But it's rare for an actually intelligent person to try to brag about his intelligence, they know they show it through actions and not words. When someone says he's smart, it's almost guaranteed he's only average or slightly above average and vastly overestimating himself. See: Dunning-Kruger effect, Donald Trump.

"hey guys I chug onions all day and whine about trump in unrelated threads. Im fat overweight and have a nigger satisfy my gross fat wife in bed for me."- You

I'm not sure what your point was, but if it was to out yourself as someone of low intelligence, you succeeded.

I do hate stupid people, but I would never be annoyed by someone who's bad at academics.

Depends to be honest. If I can see mistakes you're making that are easily correctable, I get frustrated. Other than that, I don't look down on others.

It's more of a sense of fascination of how someone can get around with less mental functioning and get so far in life. I am honestly jealous that some social situations are easier for others as I sit and over-analyze every action someone makes. In a way, I wish I were dumber because it's hard to relate at times. Small talk is boring and day-to-day is dribble so I tend to stay out of those conversations. It gets annoying to sit and talk to women because lots of people let sexual motivations show very clearly and that's something I'm not interested in with randos.

It makes me wonder if my attitude towards life is shit or if I'm just a bad person. I find it easier to close off and not talk about accomplishments, etc to not stir up shit in people. I have this natural ability to make someone act super competitive towards me and I know they'll lose from the get go. It makes work situations a struggle sometimes.

I used to be this way but you have to realize that everyone in a class is taking it to learn, so asking questions is not only the right thing to do but what you should be doing. If anyone looks down on you for asking questions or not getting something that's a reflection of their shitty values, not you. If you already knew about the thing you're getting taught in class then you generally shouldn't be there.

I had to remind myself of this when I took a plant physiology class filled with like plant science majors and shit when I had only taken ONE other plant science class. Yeah it's intimidating when it's an upper level class like a college course because there is a lot of surrounding knowledge you're expected to know but as for asking questions about the material, that's what you're supposed to do.

RIP, so will you be committing suicide with bleach or firearm? Cause arrogant brainlets like you should be gassed.

another day, another retarded namefag added to the filter

My boyfriend is gifted. If I learnt one thing while dating him, is that people who are actually smart don't feel the need to tell you and don't treat you like shit if you're not particularly smart.

that's fine, you seem like a genuine NPC so you're doing me a favor if anything. Hope you remember to load the bullets when you shoot yourself retard.

gf would probably say the same thing about me. so I can confirm.

Correct, unlike this buttmad pseudointellectual autist at who thinks he's smart despite not having finished high school.

>continues insulting me
>says he isn't mad

uhhhh pick one.

I'm kinds smart. I only looked down on people who are not disciplined enough. That includes me

Reading comprehension not your strong suit? I posted a factual post not insulting anyone. You somehow got extremely buttmad about it and started insulting me. Point to me what exactly about my post made you get so angry and triggered?

>looked down on people who are not disciplined enough.
>That includes me
Yeah, I was like that. Did exceptionally well in school despite minimal effort and felt bad about it. Always admired people putting in the effort regardless of grades.

Become a bit of brainlet now though desu. Realised I just enjoy landscaping and forestry.

it's not factual and it was a direct attack at donald trump for no reason with the intent of making this political for no reason. You're hateful trash that should be burned. only one mad is you since you're obsessing about anger so much. with how smug and arrogant you are I think you proved the dunning kruger effect right.

only smug assholes that think they're smart end up being stupid. I gotta go to work something I don't think you do, so I'll be back later today.

Stay mad for me in the mean time.

Oh, I see. You're a Trump fanboy and got extremely buttmad someone pointed out he's not very smart. Trump is a very good real life example of Dunning-Kruger: he keeps boasting he is smart, when it's obvious he's a complete idiot.

So again, why did you get so buttmad about this? Nothing to do with politics.

I only look down on dumb assholes. If you're cool, then I'll be more than happy to help you with something. I actually really like helping and teaching people.

>You're hateful trash that should be burned
Dunno mang, sounds like you're hateful trash that should be burned
