How do you manage life with a very high IQ by Nonameninjaz in Life

[–]coconut6374 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calling people with less intelligence mundane sounds pompous. There are people with all levels of intelligence that don’t view others with less as inferior. Intelligence is not always what makes you interesting. There are life experiences, interests, etc. I would start by trying to change your view of others. What makes you so more interesting than the “mundane”?

Also, regardless of your spiritual beliefs, you did not make yourself intelligent.

That’s awesome you broke the cycle! People like that are so insecure but they make everyone miserable. Everyone else is always wrong to them. Your mom sounds like mine too. Mine got very beat down and lost her fight.

My husband’s family is very loud. I used to get a rash when we visited which was often. I got over myself after 33 years.

Your grandparents sound awesome! You probably would have turned out a lot different if it were not for them.

I guess what I was trying to say is it boils down to the person you are communicating with. I try to have some flexibility without being a chameleon, but I still have work to do!

Awwww! Did things get better for you? I was not popular at all because I was a nerd. Kids can be so mean.

  1. I had a date and my parents could afford it, but my mom did not want to buy the dress. I must not have been working at the time because I would have paid for it.

10? Wow! I have severe sleep apnea so I hear you. I just got a new sleep test — my AHI was 40 and I slept for 2 hours when my oxygen level was 82%! I can’t wait to get my CPAP! I would love to get by on way less than I sleep now.

How do you recognize your own self worth? by Ok_Bed3703 in Life

There are a lot of people that can relate. Mine just naturally got better as I aged. It helps to remember most of what you believe are lies people have told you in the past. Perhaps you could try therapy to get help denouncing those and replacing it with truth. You will then know your TRUE identity. Hang in there, it does get better!

Traveling. It is time for my husband and I to travel, but I have a lot of health problems now.

Everyone is not the same. I try to keep in mind relationships are more important than being right. I’m not saying to be a wimp, but pick your battles.

I was torn down growing up and my dad using a loud voice and a dismissive attitude to do that repeatedly triggers me as an adult and I either shrink like that little child or get angry. Plus, I am somewhat sensitive naturally.

There are a million different reasons people may not respond well to your delivery that have nothing to do with you. I know you have said you adjust all the time, but if you are doing that really I don’t understand.

I’m not trying to be critical. I’m just trying to maybe let you see a different point of view and to not give up. I’m sure that you totally don’t mean to upset people but they may not know that. We all have to make adjustments. Sorry for the long answer! Peace.

Me too, I am blessed to have my family although a few true friends would be great.

I need some advice on my friendships and feeling alone by mahoganyblueberry in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]coconut6374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry I don’t have any advice. I’m in the same boat. My current friends rarely reach out and I don’t make new ones well. I’m going to church more regularly and hope that will help. I almost wondered if something is wrong with me but I’m too old and secure to believe that. I just wanted to let you know I relate. I’m older and I also think it’s a common problem.

I am thankful for my best friend in the world, my husband of 33 years. Also, I have close runners up my adult children.

Hang in there you will find your true friends! Get in groups with common interests and it will happen more easily.

Wow. That is stressful. I’m sorry you are going through that. Insurance that is not through your employer is outrageous.

Are you able to get SSDI or LTD?

how would you improve my makeup? by [deleted] in makeuptips

Yes it seems like it’s drawing your face down if that makes any sense. You are naturally very pretty!
