Is being above average IQ bad for your social life?

[Deleted Member 71651]

I feel like when ur smart, you are constantly overthinking every social interaction and you often get stuck on what to say…
What is your opinion?

Nah its only if you're smart academically but bad socially. being smart isn't gonna make you automatically dumb socially

 

[Mota]

depends on what you consider having a good or bad social life

I often struggle with what to say despite being smart academically. That’s what I meant, thank you

Smart people are funny and good at flirting. Just dont be a nutcase

Above average? You're ok
If you are 130+ you can start having some problems and some advantages

High iq not a superpower, but not a burden either

This is just a stereotype
but high iq ppl tends to neglect their social life and emotional development

Thats anxiety not high iq jfl dont conflate the two

Anxiety can be linked to that

 

[Decay]

Very bad, although someone with high IQ wouldn’t necessarily see it as a concern

 

[sjnny404]

Mfs with high anxiety be like "it's so tough being smart..." ur the human equivalent of if autocorrect had a baby with a defibrillator

 

[sjnny404]

I said don't conflate the two, just because they are correlated does not make them isometric

I never said anything like that bro, don’t make that up

 

[sjnny404]

Obv im jesting but yeah idt high iq necessarily makes u feel that way, there could be a higher association with high iq and bullying/negative feedback during childhood which may cause a correl with anxiety and iq but iq in itself doesnt make u socially awkward

maybe you are smart but a perfectionist
