• Intelligence: how it alienates me.

Rate agrees if you tl;dr So Facepunch, ready to read about how conceited I am (or maybe I'm just right)? I'm sure many of you will agree with me though. /blogpunch (maybe) All my life I've felt as though I'm different than most other people. As I don't care about impressions, or fitting in. I'm not materialistic. But recently in my life, it's really hit me how different people are... If you don't smoke, you're a good kid.. Is that a bad thing? Nah. But it's annoying. Why can't it just mean I'm smart? That I don't enjoy dying from lung cancer, or being able to hold my breath for 10 seconds. The same applies to drinking, or taking pills. Do I drink? Eh, not really. I think it tastes bad generally, and I don't need to be drunk to fit in. I've talked to so many people that say they drink because their friends do.. Is this really how stupid people are? They claim it's not fun, they just do it because their friends are. I fit in with people fine, but they always wonder why I don't smoke, or drink much and pressure me about it. It doesn't bother me very much, but like I said, it's annoying being called a good kid. I mean, I will smoke weed, it doesn't negatively effect you like smoking cigarettes and drinking. Why does being smart make you different? How did people get like this? Why are people so stupid? How do people figure smoking makes them cool? Don't get me wrong, hanging out with people is fun. And I do stupid stuff (I'm not a buzzkill), just not stupid stuff that gives me lung cancer. I feel as though people are too concerned with fitting in to have common sense. But on the inside, I feel like I'm too smart (common sense wise, not 20+20=40 kind of way) to fit in with people. I feel like I shouldn't have to dumb myself down just so people don't call me a nerd. It's sorta annoying. I don't change myself, but certain words I would normally say, I hold my tongue around people because I don't feel as though they're mature enough to understand. I'm a very straight forward person, as-in I don't sugar code stuff. I prefer blunt people, if you have something to say, just do it (that doesn't mean be heartless, but don't sugar code everything). Now, onto emotions (yay!). People are controlled by emotions, they act on then. If they're mad, they act on it and regret it later. Why do people have such a hard time controlling their emotions? It's so easy. Just use your brain. People act on love, so, what is love (baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more)? A chemical in the brain. So why do people have such a hard time controlling their brain? Well, because people don't know how to be mature mostly. Love isn't exactly real, it's just a chemical. I've been in a couple relationships, and I've never really felt heartbroken. I mean, it sucks going back to your old lifestyle before meeting them.. But people also get emo and depressed (I will bash depression later, because that's the kind of awesome guy I am). I've never been able to understand "fairytale love" and how people believe in it. Sleep is a chemical, but we don't believe in a magical fairy that puts us to sleep. Loving your family is different, you grew up with them, they raised you, and took care of you, assuming you had a good family (doubtful, sucker). Love for your family should be unconditional. But for a person you met, love doesn't exist. I feel like relationships take incredibly mature people, not people who let emotions control them. I hate when my girlfriend tells me she loves me. I can't stand it. Like all chemicals, the effect will go away. Don't waste your life thinking it will last forever. You have to force yourself to be committed, and if you're not mature enough to put up with it, don't expect it to last. Sometimes it sucks being like this.. I've always said I was different (and compared to MOST people, I am different). Sometimes (aka never, just feel like saying it because I can) I wish I could just be like everyone else. You know, dumb, and a sheep. What an easy life that must be. Being like everyone else. I don't change myself to fit in, I am myself. People like me because I don't care what people think. I call stupid people out. I'm random, and pretty hyper (not the annoying type of hyper). Somehow I fit in with everyone, by trying to fit in with no one. It's odd how that works out. I used to fight in school a lot, until I started home schooling (because I got into too much trouble for fighting too much). That's when I changed into the person I am now (a change for the better, regardless of what you think). I changed into a person who doesn't need to be you, to hang out with you. And now, to add the conceited icing to the conceited cake... I think if everyone had my mentality, my mindset, (not be me, but think more like me) the world would be a better place. To clarify, I'm not self-centered. I'm probably one of the nicest people you will ever (assuming you met me) meet. But I'm very straight forward with people. I'm 18, I'm a Prep, maybe that's why I'm "conceited." In the end, I think I'm right though, I think people are just stupid. Or maybe I just matured too fast, and now it's me who screwed up. Or maybe I just think I'm too mature (hah). Who knows. I really want to know how many people agree with me though, and feel the same as me. Because I know I'm not alone.
Be who you are, but if you want friends dont be a stuck up asshole who always thinks that his intelligence level seperates him from everyone else. If people around you are not very smart, its common courtesy not to use words the average person would not understand. EDIT: I actually read the thread. EDIT: Well i did now. You seem like a snotty asshole to be honest.
You're a smug bastard that is desperately clinging onto the concept that you are somehow superior to "the emotion filled masses."
Rated Agree.
Now you're alienated, but later when you do something with your intelligence you can get rich, and no longer be alienated while the smokers (for instance) work at mcdonalds. Hope it works out. Asshole :cheers:
Another thread made by an egotistical teenager thinking he's 'smarter' than the rest of classmates, when he's really not. Get over yourself and enjoy life. If you can't stand people in your school, find friends somewhere else. I also love how guys who can't get a girlfriend try to debunk "love" as "nothing more than a chemical in the brain". Lonely much?

That concept is only created by people who are looking for an excuse as to why no one wants to talk to them. A normal situation doesn't call for you to bring up Quantum Chromodynamics, so why should he call it dumbing himself down?
looks like you're a smug punk who is pretty self-important. brotip: you're not special, everyone hates you because you think you are
Haha I was just like you. Then I grew up.

You remind me of me when I was like 12
[QUOTE=BaconDioxide;19976637]:what:[/QUOTE] I didn't even see that. Dump your fucking girlfriend you egotistical bastard. She tells you she loves you and you're just leading her on. I bet she's too dumb for you too, right?
Ok, I get you on the peer pressure thing and I loathe peer pressure, but the whole "emotion" thing is p retarded [editline]05:40PM[/editline] Rated tool because you are one.
you sound like a cock

Bide your time, get in with the right people, make them owe you favours, study politics. You should be able to establish a fascist regime in your country pretty easily with your mindset.
:10bux: says OP isn't actually intelligent.
[QUOTE=Pascall;19976691]"Everyone should be like me but I'M NOT CONCEITED I swear. :downs:"[/QUOTE] That's like the oh so common "IM NOT RACIST BUT <racist remark>"
I detest you op, you're too clever for me.
Your thread title is right, intelligence is alienated from you. If you had any sense, you'd realize putting yourself above everyone isn't smart at all.
Your "intelligence" alienates you because it makes you act like a jackass. [editline]05:51PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Bloodshed16;19976549]I mean, I will smoke weed, it doesn't negatively effect you like smoking cigarettes and drinking. [/QUOTE] Yeah, right.
I like how people read all of it before posting. Maybe I just suck at wording. I don't consider myself better than anyone else, I just use common sense where-as most other people do not. It has nothing to do with growing up, can you honestly say today youth is smart? They take pills, and drink all day. Real classy. This is why I don't post threads on this forum, you guys jump on it and say stupid stuff without reading what's actually being said. Which is odd, you'd think with some of the smart people on FP, you'd get some smart posts. Not typical "ohhh you and your ego" posts.
