talking to yourself can be helpful or harmful. It activates another gyrus in your brain, It help you to remember the things you are supposed to remember. It can help you ration through a situation. When it comes to dealing with trauma, you either rehearse or release. During Fantasies , it helps to chance what is abstract into something nearer reality. IQ 130

Yes, I do. Sometimes when I'm preparing to do something I will checklist myself

I can tell the person that used AI to make the video is not a genius, but if you want commentary on the points...

1) Geniuses are often visual thinkers. Words are slow and two dimensional. They are for low level thinkers. So no I don't tend to talk to myself, but I do read aloud because it helps me translate other people's ideas conveyed in written language into three dimensional animated imagery.

2) Geniuses have very organized brains that make very organized and connected thoughts across multiple disciplines, and as such geniuses tend to be very organized in general. Why our spaces tend to get messy is because we are often working on many projects and various stages of progress and as a result don't have time to put all our projects and tools away every time we have to sleep. We can obsessively work on our ideas until we burn out and have to crash and go to bed. Thus our workbench, desk, refrigerator, or whatever else is involved in the project may seem in an abnormal state. That said once the work is done it will be organized again.

3) It's more so we wake up in the middle of the night or wake up much earlier than other people and tend to do stuff when a lot of people are sleeping, not that we just stay up late. Sometimes we intermittent sleep as well. Sleep 4 or 5 hours, then get up and get involved in something at 2 AM for several hours on a project, then go back to bed and sleep another 3 or 4 hours.

4) Sure, that's pretty typical. Question everything... Answer questions with questions to get clarifying information and so on...

5) To some extent. I will say I never get lonely, I always have more things to do, more ideas to pursue, and more hobbies than I have physical energy and time to complete. I don't mind being around people and enjoy people's company to an extent. People are draining though so I need breaks.

6) Sure, curiosity is typical. That said, geniuses don't want to know everything. There is a lot of useless information out there that just isn't interesting. Whatever is interesting, useful and applicable is obsessively researched in depth. Anything that seems useless is quickly pass by. Geniuses analyze how useful something will be and decide what to pursue, not just try to know everything to be a mister know it all. Quiet frankly, we don't care what most people think of us so we're not trying to impress you with our knowledge/big brains... In fact we're annoyed when we are subjected to useless information. It's a waste of time...

7) That one is just wrong. I'm not neurotic at all. I live in the moment and plan for the future. I don't waste time with the past. While I have a very strong memory and can call up details from decades ago if they are useful in the moment, I can tell you I haven't thought about those details once since they happened, and you are the one that provoked the recall of them. Every day is a new day and there are objective I pursue. If I complete all my objects I add more to the list. If I don't finish them, then they get pushed until tomorrow. Everything is a day at a time and I just keep moving forward. I just keep working persistently in the direction I want to go. No time for the past, it's already gone...

8) Sure sarcasm is typical...

9) I'd say geniuses tend to remember pretty much everything including the simple and mundane... Photographic memory sort of thing... That said, we care less about a lot of things than many average people who take concepts like grammar or spelling deadly serious. Like I said before we think in images, not words... So the words you cherish so much aren't as important to us. We're just translating... I already mentioned prior that we prioritize certain ideas over others and try to filter out the noise of what we deem useless. That may mean we avoid information we know we can easily reference later if we think it will be useful. We know where it is if we need it. Like I said our brains are highly organizes and we always know were our keys are.

10) This is a half truth. There's no reason to mimic people's emotions unless you're a psychopath manipulator. We do read people and adapt on the fly to communicate, but in general we're not all that worried about fitting in. We know we're different, it's very obvious to us and to everyone around us.

I always talk to myself but never out loud. I had a boss when I was a waitress that would suddenly start swearing out loud, saying things like, "You stupid son of a b***h! You f*****g idiot"! The first couple times it scared me but a coworker said he's yelling at himself lol

douride2 · Answer

I always talk to myself. As for the theory about being a genius I have been told that. My issue is I don't seem to apply myself enough. At least that is what my teachers said back in my school days.

NathanDavis · Answer

I talk to myself... remind myself, consult myself... talk myself out of things or into things

amuse myself... criticize myself, scold myself... cheer up myself, advice myself and hype myself among other things myself...

Omg, I so have all of those traits! But they didn't call me a genius. They called me ADHD and told me to stop daydreaming out the window all the time. 😳
