Do you agree that a 134IQ means you are gifted because why am I struggling in life so much?

I recently took an IQ test because I’ve been suffering from major depression lately. I try to focus on positive things but my world view is saddening the more I look at it. I can’t relate to anybody either. I talk to people and I don’t relate to them so I have no friends.
I also have a weird talking pattern that makes me appear weird. When I was a kid, they would make fun of me for talking way too fast. They thought I did it on purpose but what basically happens to me is that I overthink before I talk and I want to say everything fast before I forget it. So when I talk slow or normal, it hurts the natural flow of words that come out of my mouth as opposed to talking naturally which is fast for me.

No. Assuming one even takes IQ seriously (I don't, besides using it as a quick barometer to compare one person's potential intelligence to another), 134 isn't even very high. And usually, they would go by five point intervals, so 134 also doesn't make any sense; it'd either be 130 or 135.

So-called 'average' (which is really "high functioning retard," if we're being honest about the "average" intelligence human being) stops at 115, and its full scale is 85 to 115. Genius level is the same thing as "gifted" and that starts at 160.

There's also the idea that other types of intelligence exist as well, and you can believe these to be valid or invalid, at your own discretion.

This is a stupid phone app test you took, so I wouldn't take any stock in that. I supposedly have a 145-150 IQ. Genius is 160 level though, so I don't feel that smart. I can only say I am smart, not by some dumb IQ test, but how many stupid people exist around me. Seems like everyone is dumber than me, in some way! Whether it be 95% of people lacking common sense, being manipulated through politics and stupid hot button issues like abortion or trans-rights, or being enough of an idiot to believe and follow Andrew Tate.

I can only say I'm "smart" because I'm self-aware to not fall for the same IDIOIC scams and manipulation other people do in society. I also have a lot of self-awareness, and I know how I come off on GAG and other places. I've stopped caring what my "reputation" is though, cause people are going to believe what they want to believe.

You seem to have some level of self-awareness too, so you are probably above the "average" idiot in society. But it doesn't make you smart. Not that you'd want to be anyway; it's truly depressing once you realize just how stupid most human beings are, and how no matter what you do, you'll never be able to change their minds or help them avoid making the same dumb mistakes over and over again.

So I do agree there is some minor correlation between intelligence and depression. Even Einstein and Telsa agreed on this! The fact you can't relate to people might also solidity you being smarter-than-average too. I find that talking to most people in real life is like trying to converse with squirrels; most people are like squirrels to me; this sounds offensive I know, but it's honestly how I feel; try speaking of multiverses to "the average person" without them now bringing up Doctor Strange or the MCU.

So no. 130-ish IQ is not very gifted or intelligent at all. That's basically what most dentists and first-year law students have, if you're taking IQ seriously. 160 would be genius/gifted level and what math prodigies and 12 year olds who graduated high school early, would have.

But I do think your depression and inability to relate to people means you're smarter than most people around you. But your awareness level to yourself, the world around you, and the Universal Human Laws (law of attraction, repulsion, charity, and destruction; I won't get into those here) can help you determine where to go next and how to solve your problems in life, if you can. If you can't solve your problems though, cause they are unsolvable, then... You'll be where I am right now.

I have a cousin who went to MIT but also came from his father's family line of bipolar and schizoid. You have to be bright to get into MIT and he was scary bright. His psychological frailties did not handle the pressure well. He graduated brilliant but pretty much lives hand-to-mouth with people on the street. He has started to do Art now...

Why do you think high intelligence will lead to being well adjusted socially?

I would think it normal for smart people to have issues adjusting. I had a guy who worked for me, who literally could not attend any company functions because of how he felt in crowds.

You are gifted but being gifted doesn't help you in life.
