When my schizophrenia started I hated all people because they were dumb and hollow. Entered Mensa and found it the same way. Turns out it was a me-problem all along. Why did you join and was it positive?

I had my IQ tested as part of other neuropsych tests I had for health reasons. I didn’t know I had a high IQ, and I joined Mensa when I found out I was eligible. I did it for me, for my own self esteem issues, and also because I hoped it might be the answer to why I always seemed so different from others and had trouble relating to them. Finding out I was Mensa level gave me hope that I might finally have found “my people”. So far, that hasn’t played out for me, but it’s only been a few months, and I’ve only had a chance to attend one local Mensa event. My state group is not super active, and most of the events that happen are in a different part of the state a few hours away.
