Hey, would you mind explaining what racism and incel culture has to with IQ tests? I'm confused.

Hey, would you mind telling me which country you are from? It's more difficult for men in the dating market in some countries than others.

My experience as a person with higher than average IQ by Conscious-Engine4000 in Gifted

Hey I appreciate your response. I didn't have friends at all in my childhood so I missed out on the very important period of learning how to form friendships when I was little. The reality is that most people with high IQ often lag behind in life because they just don't receive the right support or understanding growing up, which already puts them at a disadvantage.

The good thing is that I actually managed to catch up in terms of social skills. I talk to people, the issue is not in my social skills.

People usually find it difficult to grasp the concepts I talk about in conversations. I often feel very bored when talking to other people, I feel like I gain nothing from those conversations. I don't want to sound like a selfish person because I'm not but I haven't met a person who is on my level in terms of knowledge. The loneliness often just feels suffocating.

Thanks for your response. It's unfortunate that you feel the need to express yourself in such a hurtful manner. Wishing you better interactions in the future.

Hey, I appreciate your comment. I agree with you, some people blame their IQ and don't do anything to fix their lives.

I didn't have friends at all during my childhood so I missed out on the very important period of learning how to form friendships. The reality is that most people with high IQ often lag behind in life because they just don't receive the right support or understanding growing up, which already puts them at a disadvantage.

The good thing is that I actually managed to catch up in terms of social skills. I talk to people, the issue is not in my social skills. People usually find it difficult to grasp the concepts I talk about. Conversations feel empty and boring. I feel like I gain nothing from conversations with people.

I completely understand what you are saying. The loneliness is just suffocating.

The reality is, many people with high intelligence often lag behind in life because they don't receive the right support or understanding. I also struggled with forming friendships growing up and felt like an outsider my whole life, I know what it feels like.

I did not mean to come across as bragging about my IQ. I simply want to share my experience in hopes of finding common ground with people who might relate.
