1. Does anyone want to be our friends? Comment below if you do.

2. so basically at least half of gen z are like the next albert einstein or something

3. I can not understate how accurate this video is. If you are highly intelligent you will indeed struggle with at least 80-90% of this list.
   If one does struggle with most to all of these, it’s not always gonna mean that one is highly intelligent, but if you are highly intelligent, you WILL struggle with at least most of these. Maybe you’ll luck out and only struggle with half, but in most cases it’ll be most to all.

   Especially the last few. Like holy shit are they accurate as ever. 6-8 are 👌

4. I won’t be the employee of the month, I’d be the boss. With all the exceptions, I can’t just merely be an employee.
   And yes, relatable but I also have an above average eq, so some points vary. I see what I believe could be solutions

5. its a shame. I love knowledge and like reading, but did poorly at high school and college, but later on after pursuing things on my own, I went back to college and did well, but by then Age and time really disqualified me from some things…because the employers would say, …" what life xperience or skills did you master AT JOBS…." well, I didn't. I also wasted 5 years of my life stupidly pursuing theological pursuites until I got unplugged out of the Matrix.

6. Ok..so what's the solution??

7. Yes, I can relate. I was taking a refresher course at a local university. At the registrar the lady behind the desk mentioned that I would need to make an "A" in the course to get credit. Before thinking, I blurted out "Of course, no problem. I always make an A." To me, I was just stating a fact. However, her consternated expression let me know that I had made another social faux pas.

8. To be honest, I don't have a true friend, in fact I don't even have a friend. 🙁

9. .Lisa Simpson is feeling some tingles right now. xd

10. Yeah. How about all of them!!!! Is that really a thing????

11. Imagine having a video recorder that is logging every second of every waking hour that you can go back to anytime and place with almost perfect detail. Oh yeah AND most of your dreams are indexed for playback as well. But you dont think your really smarter but everyone Is just a little slow.

12. i am just a regular every day normal modafaka

13. 2:25 Me who only have 1 close friend and 3 Not-Really-Friends:

14. I don’t care if I’m a highly intelligent person or not, I think I’ll just be me

15. 6:21 I am this video

16. I am just too smart I only have a true friend that is in nineth grade

17. 9: you assume that just because you know/realize something than anyone know/realizes that too (in short you assume everyone is as smart)

    I am not trying to sound narcissistic but the amount of times I had to explain stuff I’ve known/realized for years is astonishing and the process is always annoying af

18. Sometimes you just adapt to people…when the need to be accepted becomes so overpowering…you stop talking of things that interest you and Start listening to what others wanna say. You're not awkward anymore and you can easily blend in by talking of their interests.

19. People who went to University are brainwashed. They are guided in a certain direction. Stay authentic and trust your own truth.

20. well i am not intelligent

21. 3:37 that’s how i feel every recess lol
    And yes, every end of term is when anxiety comes, I NEED STRAIGHT A’s

22. That 1st point

    YES

23. I'm definitely not highly intelligent

24. This is so true it hurts 🥲

25. This is so true it hurts 🥲

26. As other ppl hav said i shall reiterate…. y b surrounded by dumb ppl!? Id much rather b alone. Small talk is certainly boring and useless. And i loathe when most ppl speak cuz all i hear… well they say ramblings and most times they dnt even realize wat theyre saying. Then when i give feedbak most take it personally and take offense. Ppl suck period.

27. Intelligent ? If I could buy you for what you're worth, and sell you for what you think you're worth…I'd make a fortune…

28. I can relate to all of the attributes, but I am unacceptably unintelligent. I have to valiantly use fancy words, so people don't think I am a random 9 year old child. I don't understand how the last time I had done an IQ test, the score was 135. I was merely using my crude cognitive skills. These big numbers are not compatible with me.

    Or perhaps I am exaggerating everything.

29. Seems to me that I have a low iq and a low eq wow

30. Me identifying with everything they listed Also me: gets 3,4 and 5 (D,C and B) on my math test every single time

31. To be honest I have versions of these in different scenarios. But dang who ever has those problems exactly like said needs therapy man lol.

32. I always wonder why everyone else around is so stupid. I hate small talk and fake people, I am not exactly socially awkward but I do have social anxiety which I hide by walking with my head down.

33. the worst thing you can do is think people don’t like you when they really do. i’ve learned to try to approach situations with openness instead of putting up the wall. it is hard but it helps. being resentful because of the idea that people don’t like you just causes people to actually not like you, even if they liked you before

34. 1 and 3 is me.let me watch the whole video. 5. I dont get out cuz of corona but i like going out and at the same time idk i am bith so maybe 5 as well. 7, 8 as well and 2 i forget about that.

35. I dont think i am inteligent

36. Meh, I’m just stupid

37. I am intelligent but I do have ADHD, but what I’m wondering is, Does high intelligence mix with ADHD?

38. This describes me very well, but I think

    Pog

39. am I the only one that pretends or acts to be dumb so that everything will be less awkward for me?

40. HA!! I knew I was an idiot.

41. my friends are so annoying if they say how much percent they had i just ignore it and then they ask mine and i dont want to say it cuz else they say again what a nerd. im getting hurt by it but with the pomodoro technique i found a new life

42. I can agree with 7 out of 8 of these, the only one I don't fully agree with is 5, I don't have an issue with socializing, but my high functioning Autism won't let me be in large crowds.

43. There may be some genius out there as well …

44. We are not intelligent guys we just awkward and have no friends there's nothing we can do!

45. I thought that I was the only person that thinks in a different way, apparently there are more.

46. You may be happy to be a "gifted child" at the beginning, but later in life your intelligence become your enemy.
    Being more intelligent than the average is a blessing just as much as a doom

47. I get sad when people dont know all the stuff I know and I want to teach them, and for them to be excited about it. I havent found friends that want to learn as much as me, but mainly because I cant afford college. I always want to information
