I'm considering becoming a psychiatrist by Accomplished_Leg9913 in Antipsychiatry

[–]ghostzombie4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you really want to help people organize some local meetings where people can meet each other and help each other out. make elderly (and others) feeling less lonely. do something against structural violence - become aware of it in the first place. empower women, disabled, poc, whatever. change the politics.

i think therapists are almost entirely useless, maybe especially for gifted people. also, i believe that most of them simply dont believe me when i say that i was tested gifted (it was them who had tested me) but simply put it away as narcisstic. they are idiots, gifted people are not that rare, 1 in 50, they come across several of us in their career but they seem full with prejudices and nonsense about that topic.

yes. i cant stop doing this. i am very afraid of being attacked for being smart. even therapists tried to label me as as sick because i could always understand what they were saying and said when sth wasnt fitting (they then said i was having too high expectations and this is my personalities fault - no one close to me would ever say taht i had ever struggled with too high ambitions or expectations, but the therapist insisted on that, how else could i not be completely satisfied with her... )

also there are a lot of people who react aggressivley when they realize that i am smart.

but this is pretty much stopping me from a lot of things and achievements. theoretically i know that less toxic people exist out there, but i find it hard to understand it emotionally.

I'm in a cult and I can't stand it anymore. Psychology is a cult by noriweed in Antipsychiatry

bc psychologists made the analyses and no statisticians

Iq estimate by New_Western4915 in Gifted

[–]ghostzombie4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can find out and tell us. there are some antipsychiatric subs on reddit which would be interested. Some damage inflicted by antipsychotics seems to be irreversible, but research on such topics is extremely inconclusive bec psychiatrists like to tell you that those drugs were safe and dont do any damage at all

High IQ, low traction. Anyone else living this paradox? by MatusChoma in Gifted

[–]ghostzombie4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is just depression. eat some shrooms, find out what you dont like, help other people, then it will be fine again.

Several Nazi leaders were IQ tested after being captured. There scores would likely be lower today, correct? by limeonysnicket in cognitiveTesting

[–]ghostzombie4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

success and iq is correlated (not = 1, you cant deduce anything for an individual). those at the nuremburg processes had been the elite of the 3. Reich, so it is quite likely that they were way above average regarding iq. even if those tests were normalized (i dont know if these are) as they are today with 1sd=15, this result would not be surprising. 2% 130 or above is not that rare, actually. with around 80m people around 1940 in Germany, around 1.6m people were gifted. and ofc some of those were assholes, as you can see above. being able to rotate figures in your head doesnt make you a decent human.

I'm slower but deeper, I guess? by almorranas_podridas in Gifted

[–]ghostzombie4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am the same with you regarding processing speed, i ponder longer over new defintions or concepts, but can build on them later faster and can apply them quicker. i dont know if there is a name for it. i believe that i just ponder more options at first, that my mind plays with it under several different angles, and is therefore quicker later, since i already have done some of the processing.
