While I do believe that iq is a meaningless test of intelligence, I feel it is necessary for making the point I wish to get across. I’m 18 and due to some issues at school at the age of 10 went in for some cognitive testing as homework was a large part of my schools grading policy and I wasn’t doing it due to lack of motivation. I ended up taking an iq test and scoring a 154.

I have always felt that my feeling of not being understood has always been invalid. I have found very little people in my life I can relate to and I am constantly made to feel like I am blunt and emotionless. I’m tired of people telling me they understand when they have no clue what it feels like to be so distant from everyone. Entering college I just wish that I was simple and didn’t have the thoughts or emotions I do; I simply wish to connect with people; I want what it seems that others can so easily achieve. I’ve had friends, girlfriends, and somewhat meaningful relationships. I just don’t know why it matters if I can never truly be understood.

Thank you for listening to my rant. If you have suggestions please feel free to leave them.

Edit: thank you so much to everyone who responded to this post. Just being heard does so much for me. I think a lot of people can relate when I say it’s hard to talk about these types of issues without being labeled as arrogant Edit edit: Jeez, y’all are the best 😂
