brainy dose presents that ten struggles
only highly intelligent people have
being smart isn't always easy if you're
a highly intelligent person these
challenges can leave you feeling lonely
and isolated here are some of your most
common struggles number one you don't
like small talk it can be really
challenging for you to engage in small
talk about ordinary things this is
because your brain is flooded with tons
of great ideas topics that interest you
likely include science art or philosophy
sauce small talk makes you feel like
you're wasting your time what you really
want is a like-minded individual to
bounce ideas around with about the
important stuff
number two you think more than you speak
your brain is wired to look for all
possible solutions and answers to a
problem it may take you more time than a
person of average intelligence to give
your opinion or draw a conclusion plus
if you are not completely sure you've
got the right answer or a brilliant idea
you won't speak at all most people
around you are not familiar with the way
your thought process works they get
confused and may even regard you as
weird introverted or uninterested number
three you get forward easily at work you
are most likely to have a day-to-day
struggle to finish your tasks your brain
needs to be constantly challenged with
new ideas and projects your once
exciting job turns into ordinary and
boring as you exhaust all possibilities
to be creative with it in addition your
boss probably isn't too concerned about
your brains need for constant
stimulation and just wants the job done
number four you suffer paralysis by
analysis you like to be aware of all the
pros and cons before making a decision
this can often stop you from making a
decision altogether that's because you
tend to overanalyze and let potential
what-if scenarios get the better of you
this may also be because you are a
perfectionist
and just want to make sure that you get
the best possible result unfortunately
people tend to mistake in the straight
as laziness
you feeling underappreciated number five
you are socially awkward this struggle
comes as a result of all the ones just
mentioned if you feel uncomfortable
during small talk refrain from speaking
if you are unsure don't get inspired by
exhausted ideas or if you feel more
comfortable with ideas than execution
people tend to characterize you as
socially awkward however this only puts
more pressure on you and makes you feel
more self-conscious about your social
conduct
number six you find it hard to make
friends making friends is hard for you
simply because you don't like small talk
or spontaneous adventures you really
don't mind spending time alone but if
you don't have like-minded people to
call friends life can get very lonely
annual risk developing depression on the
flip side however you tend to find
solace in your work and dedicating more
time to making breakthroughs in your
field number seven it's hard for you to
find love you are much more cautious
analytical and independent than the rest
because of that you often tend to get
mistaken for cold and high-maintenance
additionally you can lack spontaneity at
times which makes your love interest
quickly lose interest number eight you
don't have much fun you can't bravely
explore or try something new just
because you feel like it
analyzing comes into play here again you
will think about something until you
literally talk yourself out of it if
something is slightly dangerous but
still could be super fun you won't even
consider it in your mind the danger will
outweigh the fun number nine
everyone notices your mistakes you wish
you didn't have to prove your
intelligence to people all the time but
because of your gift it's pretty much
expected and people notice every tiny
mistake you make this is hard on a smart
person like you as it increases your
fear of failure and drives perfectionism
even more you tend to base your
self-worth on your intelligence
so making mistakes can hit you hard
number 10 you are under pressure to
succeed you tend to feel superior to
other people you can see an
understanding
that people around you can't perceive
you are aware of the direction your life
is headed and it should head in a
different direction than everyone else's
these things include having a better
career more money and better
relationships but if your life doesn't
take the path you think it deserves you
end up criticizing and attacking
yourself which of these struggles do you
