It isnt a big deal if you dont want it to be.

So what you're saying is
>tfw too intelligent to be intelligent

Being a brainchad (valedictorian, ivy league etc) but not a turbo brainchad (imo medalist, child prodigy).

Enough to get normalfags hypping you up but not enough to truly standout. Especially once you get to college and are now average

what gave you the idea that you have above average intelligence?

117 tested iq from a psyche eval

>tfw high school teachers told parents I was operating at a "genius" level
>tfw IQ 145+
>tfw almost drop out of high school
>tfw spent the next 7 years making sandwiches and moving heavy things for money

Who else DEV'LISH here?

congratulations user, did you happened to know if you were smarter than everyone else before the test? And what gave off that feeling if you did.

I used to think I was smart.
But then I met a person that talked like stewie.
I felt intimidated...

In what way did you think you were smart? Before realizing not so.

Being dumber than average and realizing what it entails regarding my future.

I have pretty good grammar, I'm good with computers, I've done some college, I can grasp most subjects, I'm creative...

This is why im fucking neet, god it feel like its only me that goes nuts from thinking about this. Tested me 2 times and got 115 and 125, pretty sure i just lucked the fuck out and im retarded with sub 100 iq.

I want to be an engineer so bad but its gonna go to shit i know it. Gonna give it a try in 2 months from now and give it my all. If it fails i just might as well neck my self. Only talent i have is art which is completely usless. Kind of feels like the world is taunting me.

Do porn commissions.

tfw you belive the whole world is retarded but you come to realize its the other way around

truly a fate worse than death

gimme 10 min bby

nice dubs but were there any early or even late signs that made you feel smarter than everyone else?

>Only talent i have is art which is completely useless
Useless for making a jew happier, yes.

By what this post reads you don't know shit of self-completion, but good luck with becoming an engineer. If you think that's the highest point in your life (since you said you might as well neck yourself if it doesn't work out) you're clearly fucking clueless, wandering aimlessly through life or something. If this shit doesn't work, what stops you from continuing to stroll aimlessly like you've been doing? Your retarded "self-worth?"

Like, what, is that shit even there? Does it serve any real purpose? It doesn't. It's just a trashy social concept.
Just like most of the other concepts that drive emotionally weak people into becoming robots and/or NEETs.

how do you know that you aren't smart? This stewie fellow might have had a large vocabulary or perhaps he was smart but in a different area compared to your own.

It can't be that hard for you when even a retard like me made it through an engineering degree (though I failed at getting an engineering job which is a testament to how stupid I am).

>Useless for making a jew happier, yes.
What did you mean by this? I too am only good at art (somewhat) and do not like to make jews happy.

>tfw to intelligent, can't bear the feeling of the whole world resting on MY SHOULDERS

shut the fuck up op, you're nothing special. slightly above average IQ is nothing more than a bit of a higher intelligence level.
a BIT OF A HIGHER INTELLIGENCE LEVEL
you know what that means? above mediocre.
above fucking mediocre, congrats
you got a medal!

This applies to other faggots like OP who think that having an IQ of 115 makes them a fucking genius or some shit. What's real embarrassing is when some 90 IQ score normalfag trumps you out on anything that involves physical ability or social skills.
if you're 20 points over the rest of them, that doesn't make your quality as a being increase, faggot, given the state that you're in (making an assumption, since you're on chan posting this dumb ass shit)

only thing worse is also being a loser so you go on Jow Forums to make yourself feel better

I meant that selling art these days is hard, and harder if you're not a cartoonist (since that's what the kids and tumblrinas like, therefore it's more so marketed)
Since you don't work for anyone and you sell off what you create, we can pretty much say that you aren't financially helping any jew. Except the ones you buy your art supplies from, of course. But they gotta come from somewhere, don't they?
Fuck, now that I think of it - you can't escape these little long nosed shits.

This shit right here.

OP and the rest of the faggots who share his little "dilemma" can fuck right off with your pretentious line of thought

I don't. Chill out, no one's saying they're better than YOU, user. I never said I was a genius and I don't think I am. I was just expressing that I can't find anyone around my middle range of intelligence to connect with because they're either smarter or dumber than me.

Again, I don't think I'm smarter than everyone else.

You are right i have no idea where im going or doing, im just wandering aimlessly. Hopefully i can get enough money and a job where i dont need to communicate too much with human beings so i can become like the MC in there will be blood or some thing. And im not gonna settle for a low status future, i cant. All my life i have been looked down on, my parents where looked down on, and they in their turn looked down on me. I really want to achieve or i as i said might as well call it quits. Its just that my intelligence seem to be the major issue here.

If you made it through the math you couldnt possibly be stupid, maybe you just fucked up the social networking part where you get a good internship and stuff to make you more reliable in the working place? Btw how does it feel that you are about 2 standard deviations of iq higher than me?

>implying differences in intellect is what motivates people to connect with each other

not the user you're responding to btw

I was just wondering if there are any consistent signs for above average intelligence if you are telling the truth.

lol me too
>be smart child
>win lot of math competitions
>do an IQ test at fifth grade, school never tells me my score but I get an info from a family member that I did better than anyone ever did in the history of that school
>everyone tells me I need to go to college and be someone
>drop out of high school and spend the next 5 years wiping tables

>Chill out, no one's saying they're better than YOU, user.

whoa there bud, getting a bit defensive. never mentioned anywhere that I was a turbo brain chad, yet that reply stung you.
good, it was supposed to.

-the user you responded to

what I was about to say as well.

Well, I have a below averageworking memory but my other scores saved me. Basically, I just had an easy time learning things.

There's no correlation between intelligence and conscientiousness or industriousness. It's very possible to have high intelligence and do absolutely nothing with it. You might be better at making plans but worse at implementing them.

This is exactly how everyone feels about themselves until they pull their head up of their own ass.
Feeling and appearing smart is entirely drpendant on the context you find yourself into. It's actually extremely easy to convince yourself that you're a genius. All you have to do is actively seek out groups of naive and gullible people and surround yourself with them or argue against them and you'll be able to reinforce the notion that you're smart even though you might not be that smart. I knew a guy who did exactly that. Kept complaining that everyone was dumb even though he hung out with total jackoffs with no education and constantly ran away from every opportunity he had to befriend people who could speak to his level and intellectually challenge hin. He though everyone was stupid, but he couldn't accept being wrong or people having differing opinions. Sad thing is he was not an actual idiot, he was just too much of a baby to accept that he wasn't the smartest around.
OP, there will always be people who are dumber than you in some contexts, but smarter and more ressourceful than you in others. What you should do is strive to learn from what these people are smart at, not focus on what subjects they are stupid at. Also you should never belittle yourself over some people knowing more than you do. Facing intellectual humiliation once in a while by biting more than you can chew as well as actively seeking to challenge your intellect will be extremely beneficial to you. Eventually you will be modest enough to understand that everyone can teach you something and that you never were special for whatever stupidity or genius you are guilty of.

Unironically this. Good story user, I hope some people learn from this shit.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Thanks for the answers user, I hope you find something that makes you happy.

This and I was only of those ass-hats, I thought I was smart but after joining a a compsci class and I was surrounded by people smarter than myself I just gave up not being able to code java.

one* of the those

Being ignorant is almost a blessing because being ignorant means you have more to learn. The moment you think you're too smart is the moment you stop learning and, in that moment, regardless of if you used to be an actual genius or not, you've become trully foolish.

You know, the truly ignorant people are the ones who keep trying to imply that I think I'm a genius even though I've said I don't twice. I know what you are trying to say though. There's this guy in my welding class that told me that America has more guns than blades of grass (got the quote wrong) and he's dumb as fuck but he's a better welder than me and I come to him for advice.

>If you made it through the math you couldnt possibly be stupid
All I could do was make it through exams but there was a lot I didn't get and even more that I've forgotten by now. Luckily for me the courses often didn't require maths that difficult otherwise I would have been dead for sure. Yes I'm a failure social-wise too but if I had worth I wouldn't have ended up with my crappy current job (after failing to land one earlier on in summer like a normal person). Besides, intelligent people should tend to be better at socializing. I can only be average or below which makes it basically impossible that you're 2 sd lower since that would be actual mental retardation, something that you don't seem to be judging by your posts.

not sure if you're still there, what kind of engi did you major in?

I still dont dare to get my hopes up tho

Mechanical. The best course for me was thermodynamics because a big part of it was just knowing the heat cycles well and then using tables to find the values you need. Didn't require high level maths at all imo.

thinking about software engineering or something IT related. Something where i can sit with a pc in a dark room and not speak to people

tfw the only achievement you have to show after all your years of studies is your wow character

Attached: 454647845674.png (204x298, 58K)

They probably were, but there's a one huge BUT. When they were grade schoolers their brains allowed them to mow through the study material with little to no resistance. They got accustomed to it and when stuff started becoming more and more complex they couldn't simply read a few paragraphs once and get A+ or his country's. As a result, they got BTFO since actual work was never something required from them. Why pour effort into study when you can simply play WoW all day long and on the next day spend half an hour before school? And such a "brilliant but lazy" slacker is born.

literally me holy shit

Fix.

I know. Had the same problem when I changed my regular school to a special one for STEM nerds. Found out that I'm pretty good in physics and became one of the top students. Then in the graduating year I failed some competitions and stopped caring. Prepared for my exams half-assed and did not enter the university I wanted. Dreamed about becoming a nuclear physics researcher, ended up writing crappy software for $500 a month.

Lmao so accurate. I just stayed at home like 50% of the time and called in sick playing wow all day.
Never studied 1 time during all of grade school and suddenly i realized that i was behind and i just declared my
self retarded and dropped out.

What a pathetic end.

I'd much rather be average than above-average. It's like I'm intelligent enough to realise why everything sucks without being intelligent enough to use that knowledge to better my own situation. I'm in a perpetual state of dissatisfaction with normalfaggotry but I'm still completely dwarfed by actual geniuses.

>ended up
What are you, 67?

Anyone who thinks this way is a fuckin retard
