Why are smart people so dull?

[Anonymous]

Formerly smart person here

it’s a long story

I remember being tired my brain being overworked me feeling the pressure to be the smartest in the room and feeling like I was 10 years older in maturity than I actually was.

does this go away with time or stay? Whenever I was outside of school I would act 10 years younger than I actually am. In school the opposite.

I was so confused in short. Oh and o had no social life. But like I found it so hard to connect with others. I wasn’t very talkative and almost like forgot how to have fun.

i know not everyone is the same. But I’ve always wondered

I think most bright people I meet are very active and engaged in things. It's the dull ones who do nothing and lead boring lives, and expect to be entertained by the rest.

What kind of things?

[Nikki1989]

They are not dull. It is more of a case of the general population being a little stupid. I always use the phrase 'it's like talking to a squirrel.'

[NathanDavis]

yes, it can go away... if you let it go away

[Asker]

What can go away?

[NathanDavis]

the burnout you put yourself through... you can recover from it, and also, then... stop overworking yourself

[Asker]

You think rather than being smart the issue may have been I needed a vacation?

[NathanDavis]

yeah... I'm smart too, but not overwhelmed

My friends are smart and they aren't dull at all. What do you find interesting?

They are not necessarily dull but it can be hard to connect with less intelligent people. You have to find the other smart ones.

I remember feeling like I was the odd one out and resented being smart as I felt it restricted my ability to connect with others.

You just don't know the right smart people.

[MrChinaski]

Not the words of a formerly smart person.

[Asker]

Kinda is. It’s one of the reasons I resented being smart even though it gave me status. I felt disconnected from everyone else like I was the odd one out

[MrChinaski]

This site is 25% smart people. 50% dumb people that say they are smart. 25% dumb people that accept it.

[Asker]

I could be one of the 25%. You are def one of the 50

[MrChinaski]

Awwww ... you cut me deep...

[Asker]

Always some truth behind sarcastic humour
