At forty years of age, I discovered that I was intellectually gifted / high IQ during a supervised IQ test by Mensa, which changed a lot for me, also in unexpected ways. Here's my personal experience with intellectual giftedness. If you're Asperger, on the autism spectrum, ADHD, OCD, etc., you'll probably connect...

I got kind of emotional listening to this. I'm in my twenties and you managed to put into words things I've asked myself for a good portion of my life. Thank you.
You're very welcome, I'm really glad it was meaningful to you!
@@Abel.Abelson people that have the right temperment have an advantage in life this is never mentioned. Being a psychopath with high intelligence and no conscience are the true winners in society
@@thearough Yeah sure but they’re not using their intelligence to do good.
@@chrisking6695 who in society does good. We behave and do nothing while psychopaths run things. Then we rationalize oir scripted lives as good and worthy of living

*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*

@@letsdothis1543honestly it’s probably not far off.. we do often tend to perceive things that others can’t and it can make me feel insane at times lol
When I was younger I was tested and my mother said I was 88 . That made me happy because 8 is my favorite number . And I got 2 of them .

@@johntitorii6676wtf with the religious segway lol
im 170 iq lol my teachers had higher iqs proven by goverment iq tests, who tf cares if you have a high iq?
I don’t think I have a very high IQ, but I think it is always fascinating to see how other people think, whether they are autistic, smart, dumb, part of a cult, or a ‘normal person’ .
You'd probably score high on the Openness factor in a Big Five personality test then. Great characteristic!
@@Abel.Abelson Is there a better one than understandmyself?
I worry that the overrepresentation of people high in openness that take the test might be screwing with the scores(as I've heard that it compares your score to the mass of people that have taken it).
@@alextonev4145 there is, but im afraid thats the best one we got so far
How do you even determine your actual IQ? There are so many tests that aren’t even accurate.
You’re probably have an iq between 120-128 + I think nobody is normal everybody is unique but social pressure culture defines so it became what people like to identify themselves as ‘normal’ if not in themselves at least in the company of others + I can tell from your comment that you’re an intuitive perspectival introvert right?
He's like something I would see in the dmt realm
lmaoo
ever met high prenetal T lvl people who are mtf trans? That.. is what youll see in that realm.
Dmitry Terek Aggressive? I haven’t seen that in my experience in the LGBTQ world. What I have seen is more sexual “aggression” than you would see in cisgendered females.
Talked to the machine elves?
Dementors lol
I took IQ test with pyschologist and also while college and scored 154 and 149, respectively. I also have ADHD, both social and generalized anxiety, and extremely introverted. I am an overthinker and spend most of days going down rabbit holes on almost anything (can research on internet 10 hours a day). I don't feel "normal"; almost like I am trapped in my thoughts. I feel my IQ really just equates to having more common sense than most people and having the ability to logically resolve most issues. My grades were just average, I struggle to concentrate in classes and if not for acing exams , I would have failed college. While I make an upper middle wage income, I don't think having a high IQ really has benefitted me but maybe because of the ADHD and anxiety.
That sounds similar to my own experiences, except I can be both introvert and extroverted at times. I spend most of my free time reading online and UA-cam. I used to spend 8 hrs per day at the library (while not enrolled in school). I’ve only taken an online IQ test and scored a 127, which aren’t accurate. It has been suggested that I would likely score higher on the official IQ test that covers more abilities than the online version. I just finished a nursing program which was not a problem for me. Thanks for sharing.
I have an IQ of about 170 I was also blessed with a thing called Asperger’s. Which came with chronic depression and anxiety and with that habitual procrastination so yeah I basically suck at talking with anyone new and can’t even garner up the courage to even do it in the first place. But yeah 20 years old no job no plan no girl no house (own). But yeah I’m exactly like you. Brains aren’t the end all be all
Not exactly though at least you can get a job 😂
@@calebwilliams2305 am a 17 year old with a IQ over 195. Since young, I developed the interest of doing a lot of science experiments for which my parents opposed against it. One day, my parents banned me from doing science experiments when I injured part of my face due to a explosion from a science experiment. From then I was really confined within my thoughts. I really had a hard time making friends since young as they didn't understand topics of my interest which was innovation,human civilization and science fiction. I experienced all forms of bullying since young at school due to the fact of being perceived different from them.Currently I am now suffering from Social isolation with no support from my family members and no friends at all for the past 17 years. My dream is to introduce concepts which is revolutionary and innovative to the world in the future.
@@shaneethan523My iq is over 200 accidentally killed my parents doing my basement nuke experiments 😢 since then I am living alone in an apartment having social anxiety overthinking etc 😢.
It takes some serious balls to make a video being this vulnerable and transparent but through this type of honesty we learn a bit more about ourselves. Thank you my brother for opening up.
You are welcome, and thanks for your kind comment and recognition!

@@ericwoods6286 you don't know shit about narcissism. Top thing narcissists do is to point to others being narcissists so they can divert from themselves. It's simple fact that most people on this earth are stupid fucking idiots and intelligent people look for those videos because being intelligent in a world of dumb cunts is depressing af. You actually feel like you're the retarded one when it's the other way around.
“Think dumb”, this is great advice for my gifted kid who overthinks stuff.
Tf
It is not easy tho, make sure he learns how to meditate to clear its mind when he needs it
I once smoked weed and watched an episode of Beavis and Butthead and it was painful because I tried to reason their actions and kind of walk in their shoes.
I use to overthink stuff a ton of times and I did get to use that strategy but then again I never thought of myself as gifted and many people never thought I was gifted.I also was very sensitive and could emotionally understand adults and children, many who were in my age were rude didn’t even understand the “why”.
Many people misunderstood and I could never tell them what I think because I was too insecure about it even the teachers would pressure me
I find myself on the other spectrum of the 2% group. Intellectually stunted.
Probably same
The fact that you say that probably means you're not that dumb
Those people are unlikely to use the word „spectrum“ correctly, or know what „ex machina“ means or make a pun of it. Never would they have left a non-aggressive comment under this video. They’re not „stupid“ but their interests are not very broad. You talk to them for a while and then you think everything has been said. You would have to start a new topic but you won’t.

So much of your experience resonates with me. I am trying now in my 30's now and have been reconciling and processing my experience growing up and my feelings about others. It is cathartic yet melancholy at once, isolating and empowering. I grew up knowing my IQ was high as a kid because I needed to take them as I am also dyslectic. I have always felt different than most but instead of thinking everyone was dumb, I have lived most my my life just thinking everyone was "faking it" to fit in. It's hard to describe because I thought ( and maybe it is) normal, but I think about things always from the "ground up". that is, when I understand a concept or arrive at an opinion on something, I cannot help but see its connections to other ideas, and can trace its validity down to lower level "first principals". When I speak to people I am often surprised by the things they do not track with me on, as they are often something thought where obvious and not the interesting part of what I was trying to convey. IDK all this sounds I fear like a kind of brag, it is difficult because you cannot talk about this stuff really. Yet It really is confusing and I am so curious about it.
Yeah I can totally relate to the idea of breaking things down to first principles. My ex said I would overanalyze, but the results of this "analysis" were immediate and automatic for me, whereas for her she would have had to think through them in a purposeful way. And yes, it usually boiled down to moral or logical inconsistencies that were impossible for me to ignore. I'm still not sure if this is beneficial or detrimental overall, but it certainly has created social challenges for me.
Your part about the IQ test made me laugh out loud because it hit so close to home. "I would have the tendency to explode in all kinds of possibilities and complex kinds of answers. But no, I had to think dumb." This was exactly my experience, but I've never told anyone because I'm aware how arrogant it comes across. But still, it's the truth, and I laughed because you're the first person putting it into words for me.
I remember doing some IQ type pattern reasoning test and I'd also think up of all different ways to guess the pattern (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't), but I'd basically waste a lot of time exploring different complex ways of what the pattern could turn out to be. Then I get a sense that its a much more simpler pattern and I'm like wtf is wrong with me...
I understand!!! Not arrogant at all.
Yeah, I realize that for most tests your best strategy is studying the answer not the question
I'd do this in school too, lol. I'd also be thinking that everything was a trick question and that, technically, the answer could or would be something else.
Yea, meditating a bit on one of those patterns, coming up with option C, D , E, contemplating which one to note, while the single correct one was option A....
In my opinion such tests are flawed by design because of that. You should be able to e.g. note the pattern you came up with somewhere. If it checks out its technically a correct answer.
"The correlation between Wisdom and Intelligence is ZERO"
Yeah, exactly. I've always been gifted and did a ton of my shit throughout my still short life. I have had problems with the poloce on multiple occasions. However I'd still say I haven't done nearly as much shit as some of my gifted friends have, since I'm asocial. All of them have problems with drugs, alcohol. I overcame that.
However it is not just bad. Most got into good universities. All of them hardly ever studied but were among the best.
Only a sith deals in absolutes
But on another note, I would speculate there to be at the very least a small correlation tbh
I agree in a sense, but I wouldn't say the correlation is zero. Don't you think that you have to possess a certain level of intelligence in order to find wisdom?
@@max-tp5ty That's my point exactly. You need a baseline intelligence. For example, someone with a severely impaired working memory simply can not temporarily retain and manipulate information for long enough or in a complex enough way to arrive at "wisdom". This of course is rare.
Wisdom is a funny word. Means different things to different people. Part of it i would argue is good judgement, something people who are low functioning struggle with. I am reminded of a certain youtuber who for all intents and purposes groomed an intellectually impaired girl into running away from her family and starting a life with this individual. The courts (in Canada) found that this girl did not have the faculties to consent to this and was returned to her family. This is all a long winded way of saying that there is unquestionably a correlation, however small
exactly, there are tons of high IQ personalities on the high ends of society. And yet our society lead by those people is heading straight into the abyss.
I had a friend that tested extremely high on the iq test and I have tested right above being technically retarded I always found it interesting how I studied non stop for some of my high school classes to hopefully get a D or C and he would never study missed most of the classes and always aced everything but he was always depressed and then got addicted to drugs and took his life shortly after I always felt like things should have been switched and I should have been the one depressed not the one with all the talent if I could have lived in his shoes for a day I fill like I could have been a better friend to him and maybe even kept him here I really enjoyed the video and appreciate your insight on things
Thanks for commenting, glad you like the videos :) You shouldn't feel guilty at all, or think you could/should have been a better friend. Everyone does what he/she needs to do. Your friend had his round in this life and did what he had to do with it. We all do...
You should not feel any sense of responsibility over your friend's suicide.
Extremely high intelligence is not just a gift, but also a burden. He would feel alienated from his peers, and have many frustrations and concerns that most others would not know about. The negative critical introspection of an intelligent mind, is capable of multiplying emotional issues very quickly, and drugs could have initially numbed him to his pain, but would ultimately exacerbate the problem.
This problem is not of your doing and it is not something you could fix. It is next to impossible that you could say or do anything that would change his mind about his issues and make him believe and feel that his life was worth living.
Gifted people are particularly susceptible to depression and other mental ailments precisely because of their rarity and the alienation that ensues.
Don't blame yourself. Things happen, and sometimes we can not avoid or stop them, from happening. He had a hard life and now, he is in a better place and much happier.
The ability to control emotions and understand others is EQ. A lot of high IQ individuals don't have a high EQ.
its really frustrating when you notice problems in society, and try to fix them or tell people about them, but that the other people just don’t seem to care about it
This resonated quite a bit more than I expected. Everything you said here essentially just matched pretty much what I felt growing up. I've heard quite a few of these personal stories from intellectually gifted people and the more honest and reflected ones like this one I utterly feel.
"I was worried about the cold war, extiction etc...and i also like star trek"
That was quite funny
Well, it's all true :) I was definitely a weird kid :) And now I'm a weird adult.👍
its true tho yeah
youre an absolute legend bro high iq is the shit@@Abel.Abelson
I used to identify as an intellectual but I found it too socially isolating. I traded that life for a more gym/sport oriented life as well as chasing girls and smoking weed etc. and made social gains as a result which inevitably compromised my intellectual passions. It's a trade off which hasn't necessarily resulted in increased QoL as you gain the benefits of positive social interaction (reduced stress, wellbeing, enhanced sense of self worth) but lose the depth of intense passion for subjects, languages etc which bring a unique sense of personal satisfaction and achievement.
I envy people who are mentally strong enough to withstand that social isolation without compromising their identity as an intellectual because in school or even at home with family members it can make you feel incredibly alone.
For many people, there is no mental strength involved in withstanding social isolation. It is just as completely natural/comfortable. It just depends on who you are. Living a more inward-focused thinking kind of life is just as easy for some as living an extroverted outward-focused kind of life is for others.
Wtf man, b
Just go to the campus of harvard or some other smart ass campus or find some other type of venue where you easily can find "smart" people like "you". Remember associative mating ,aka :like attracts like.
See, you’re not all that intelligent if you fall for the psychological pitfalls of society. Most of the stuff you ‘value’ in terms of social standing are just things that less intelligent people are conditioned to believe or need. Generally, if you’re more intelligent than other people, it’s almost impossible to ‘force yourself’ to socialize and pursue that life. Because you’re constantly contemplating the point of it all. Life itself already has no point and pursuing social endeavors is as far from self satisfaction as you can get. Because in order to be social, you actually have to give up part of yourself. People generally don’t care about you, they want to think and talk about themselves. Which is also exhausting to an intelligent person. Why would someone who contemplates the fact that time and space switch spots in a black hole care about social drama between Becky and Sue?
That's exactly me.

Thanks for this, it's great to hear from someone who has both intelligence and humility, and who acknowledges the pain that many rational people in an irrational world experience. I bought your book, not feeling very optimistic that it will help me undergo such a reconstruction as you describe, yet still hoping for inspiration.
Thank you for this. You’ve described everything I’ve lived with for 47 years. I had always thought I was mentally ill until a psychologist told me that there was nothing wrong with me and sent me to a behavioral specialist to have an IQ test. It’s a bit of a struggle since I tend to think in very abstract concepts, and when I offer help (like you describe), it is often met with a negative response. My wife says I come across as cold and unsympathetic and that is why I get negative reactions. It’s a constant learning process now, and I find sometimes I have to act like someone else in social settings.
O yes, very relatable. My wife says the same of me.🙂 It's hard if you have to remind yourself of who you are and what your true motivations are against the biases and misinterpretations of people as close as your own life's partner. But that's how it is, we're all survivors so that's what we'll continue doing...
Many times i just say something in order to initiate a conversation and the other guy suddenly gets offended and never talks to me again. A few days ago somenone blocked me on facebook because of that.
I feel like you are not using your brain to analyze situation and what the other person is comfortable with , you read the reaction and adapt to the situation and person its not too complicated
I always thought I was stupid or was just missing things, until one kind employer told me this after I was berating my own work "You are so far ahead you're only seeing what's missing. You're 20 miles into a marathon and focusing on the last few miles but you're 20 miles in".
Now I realize that my issue is that I see way too far ahead. At work people want to do step A, then step B and then step C. Then I come in and say that we can already work on Z and ignore the first few steps. I can be right, and my idea can be great, but if I cave in because I'm in minority, the meritt of my idea won't mean much. It's one of the craziest things you learn in life. It doesn't matter what your ideas are, it only matters how hard you fight for them.
It benefits us greatly to connect our hearts to our minds, especially amongst men. Find a mens counselor who can give you great insight on what you might be missing as a fully integrated human being.
Maaaan, i couldn't even finish middle school, repeted 3 times before i droped out due to depression, this led me to think i was the dumbest guy alive despite every other new person i've met expressing how smart they tought i was, intreagued by it, i decided to take some iq tests, 13 to be precise, and i kept getting increasely dumbfounded by every each result that avereged out in 146 iq points. This filled my mind with doubt and anxiety at a point that i felt that finally should seek pro counseling, since how could a supposedly smart person be so uncapable as i was? After some time of counseling i was diagnosed with ADHD, that made just absolute sense and my life have gotten so much better since.

In fact all the theories and ideas you just made up in you head are nothing and it means little compared to all the concepts made by the thinkers and scientists that lived before.
Why think so hard and blame your own head for making no sense rather than actually learning and trying to make sense out of all the studies and struggles the scientists and philosophers did and the profound concepts and answers they came up with.
Be humble and always be thirsty for knowledge and everything will start to make sense.

Hey Abel, thanks for sharing, nice to have people like you applying yourself and making the world a better place, right on!

They don't want to talk or explore anything. They just talk about the same boring everyday crap and it drives me insane. I only have one good friend.
My struggle as well!
I am impressed at how similar our lives experiences are. I am also in the 133-ish IQ range and also often felt that people were oddly reckless, unfoundedly confident yet egotistically fragile, depending on the context. I am also a sensitive person and often felt people tend to be ruthless as long as their immediate comfort isn't challenged.
I have felt like I was a coward because I wouldnt take physical challenges that others would. Like avoiding a fight in a bar where had I fell. I might have gotten a concussion or worse on the hard floor.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)

Yes, it's terrible. It's understandable from their viewpoint, their hierarchical status is at risk by your mere existence, so of course they attack in the ways they can. But that doesn't make it any more pleasant of course, nor a reason to simply undergo it. On the conrtrary actually, once you understand what they're really doing (what the social meaning of it is for them, and why they naturally revert to this kind of behavior), it becomes almost logical to not accept any of it and react efficiently.

Yes, as long as you don't see their characteristics for what they really are, and (next step in the process) accept them (easier said than done, but not at all impossible), you can't help but try to help and be irritated by them (or hate them) at the same time.

In your case, I will not provide my personal information because you're butt-hurt that your reality is being challenged. If you don't have the background to understand what I've written yet, you may in the future as your life experience progresses. Use YOUR own mind to study the world... using man's accumulated knowledge only to a point, while remaining skeptical all the way... challenging results, not people... like a narcissistic child.
I really find your reply humorous... you read the details which serves to put you on notice that there is someone writing with an actual brain... then instead of challenging any of the points... you attack my education and professional practice, thereby leading credence to my initial hypotheses. Thank you, now join the herd.
I am an architectural designer ... But I don't think I am smart, creative yes but not "smart". But the "think dumb" thing is something that I do all the time without realizing it until you said it.
Never been tested but wow, I can relate so much to this. The wanting to help, the boredom at school (even tested as a child and recommended for advanced programs) poor parental upbringing (never put me in the programs), the constant analyzing, the inability to "get along with others". So much man. Even the "going back in time" thing..lots of rumination. You've validated so much. Thanks for sharing :)
Hi Sean, great! It's exactly this kind of (self-)recognition I'd like to realize with my videos, really glad it was meaningful! And thanks for letting me know :) Check out my books too! amzn.to/3paQsmz
@@Abel.Abelson Just did; "How to handle neurotypicals" looks like a very interesting read. I appreciate your mind, man. You might just provide the very answers I have been seeking for at least a decade. Really glad I stumbled on channel.
May you find all the answers you are seeking yourself.
@@Saif-zf9vb Thanks, and likewise :)
Our school system and a lot of schools (in the US) have a gifted or challenge class in which you are tested in the first grade and if your IQ is around 120-130 then you get put into that class. I had the opportunity to do so. And if you were wondering what we did in that class, well we would just do puzzles and we would read more difficult books. I remember dissecting a couple of more things than I did in regular classes. We would come up with solutions to hypothetical problems and talk about them.That is just a really really vague description but it will do I suppose.
The highly intelligent person is never bored. Even if the teacher is talking about something which seems obvious the mind of the highly intelligent person is working beyond it and thinking of interesting alternatives. People of average intelligence are the ones that bore easily.
Great breakdown, I believe the strong/deep emotions which we experience are derived from a fuller understanding of events. Personally, I find music to be a great representation of the depth which I am able to translate within myself. It allows me to feel the exact emotions which are being conveyed, I like to think of it as a superpower.
Bro took a free IQ test online
Thank you for your video, it has been comforting hearing other’s stories of the same experiences I had throughout my life.
I was one of those students that received less than straight A grades but never studied. I was bored in class and always wondered how others could so difficultly struggle with seemingly the simplest of topics or ideas. Yet, I seem to be the person struggling in life (I’m now almost 60), not allowed to keep long term employment while actually doing exceptional work, and never fitting in to social groups. What a world we live in.
hahahahhaa
We have almost identical stories. I didn't really even START to wrap my head around how different I was until my 30's. Everything you're describing is what I've been doing for years now (I'm 55). It can be hard to talk about because the vast majority of people, literally, can't understand. I'm happy for you and good video.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
Nuerodivergent. Same as me.
Same. Started figuring this out in my twenties. I also couldn't believe that I could be gifted, as I always had very low self esteem and was very self conscious.
Thank you. I grew up in hell, but with a very high IQ. My grades were borderline, as I had figured out how to pass without doing homework. My test scores were always in the top 1%. Like you, my understanding of people is deep. I took an IQ test while I was in a shelter for runaway youth and scored it's highest testable range. I was stunned because I thought if I were smart, I would not be in the situation I was in. I had not fully understood the damage that had been done to me from severe abuse, nor did I know the level of mental illness I suffered as a result.
ua-cam.com/video/VIS4SmJQ0wU/v-deo.htmlsi=YGugzwMoSBjsk-D6
I have a similar background. Tortured as a child,yet gifted classes in beginning grades specifically reading and reading comprehension.
I read voraciously.
Doesn't translate to much in life other than ability to synthesize knowledge and perhaps more deeply experience life
@@josephhertzberg2734 Increased intelligence just means we contemplate more perplexing problems. It certainly does not equate to happiness nor success. Ambition and drive do that.
/agree
If it makes you feel a little better I'm more or less in the same boat. Perhaps not as abused. Grew up in a broken household, surrounded by drunks, father shot through, mother hooked up with a neighbor who was more of a drunk. Always hungry, I would get new clothes when my pants were 15-20cm over my socks and skin tight.
But in school, yeah I didn't try because I knew my parents had no money for university. I would be perpetually third and never study for anything. 1 & 2 both had tutors and studied hard. Both ended up as doctors. But... I did ok. I taught myself to program when I was 12. How the hell did I get a computer at 12 in such an environment? I delivered milk every day for 2 years and refused to 'loan' to my parents. Why computers. I found my inspiration. A movie called 'Wargames'. I kept learning. Taught the y12 computer class... but knew, No Uni for me. Applied for private education and tried to pay it off by working at McDonalds. That didn't work. Taught myself Visual Basic and got a job. In 2 years I doubled my income, in 3 years tripled with industrial certification. Today, I'm at the top of my field. A CIO balked at hiring me at one point because I'm paid more than him. He put me on a 2 year contract... and paid me even higher. These days I do Cybersecurity and Legislative Compliance Consulting for the IT space, mostly banking.
These days I have multiple properties, including a retirement rural estate. My son boards overseas following his dream of being a pro hockey player. Nice cars, nice safe suburb, private schooling all the way for the kids. I'm sitting here programming my own computer game, enjoying life doing what I like.
This is not a showing off post... the post is entirely for you because I thought I "can't" when I was young, until one day I realized that other people I was competing against had no drive and no ability and kind of just hoped for the best and leaned heavily on social connection to muddle through.. I had a goal, a dream the whole time. I was relentless and eventually I started planning ahead. Now, many years later I realized that the 'hard start' I had made me very independent, very self sufficient and it bolstered me against most of life's weaknesses. I have never smoked, drink maybe once a year, never taken drugs. I reject and resent almost everything about my childhood and that made me stronger, more focused and a better competitor in the world. I never forgave. I never forgot. Growing up hard, makes you hard in response. You may find it's a tool as valuable as anything else you have rather than a weakness.
@@nathanielacton3768 yeah, things worked out well for me after all, I guess I should've said so.
I actually dropped out of high school and took my equivalency exam.
I own a restaurant and just started buying rental property.
More interestingly, I really don't read as much, used to be a constant. I always had a book or two. I started to question why was I accumulating knowledge, was it an escape....probably.
I'm curious, but only occasionally these days and I think about what the buddhists say about intellect, beyond practicalities, being yet another distraction from peace of mind.
As for my abuser, I guess I have mostly forgiven. I had a great time raising my daughters and it was not hard to treat them with basic dignity, it was actually a delight to do so.
I am in therapy, looking once again at my disordered relationship with anxiety, it's the one persistent relic from my childhood that I have not been able to fully resolve
Abel, my friend, I could never relate more. I'm an Aspie with ADHD, I'm labelled as 2E (twice-exceptional in ability and weakness) in "giftedness" terms, and I struggle as much as I can probably achieve. People. People were the #1 source of problems in my life. I felt like everyone is different, but everyone kept hinting that I'm different hence I was fairly good at fitting in. My parents, teachers, and peers made things worse, despite some of them wanting to help while being completely unaware. I'm not even an adult yet and I'm already very isolated and prefer my own energy and free will in the already very limiting nature. I wanted to drop out of high school multiple times, and my grades are all over the place. Only actually studying the subjects at the very last hours. I found that I should perhaps give it a chance and try to take things on my own ways, to start to truly do and live well with this energy awaiting to be used at full and best.
I might have to buy your book.
Ya me too
Grades are more a result of hardwork than an expression of intellect.
Not even exaggerating.. I did maybe 3 homework assignments in high school. I did well on the exams, did very well on the SAT, and got into a good university. I failed out of uni because I was extremely lazy and not prepared to exert effort.
I became very depressed, socially isolated because I just didn't "click" with many people, and this resulted in a bad period.
I discovered mindfulness and meditation and my life changed. I started to make an effort to be a "good person": a positive influence on society.
I am a 3rd year biochemistry student at uni. I have a 4.0, consistently scoring the highest grades in my classes. My intelligence helps me understand what I am studying but passion, willpower, and determination, ultimately, is the reason why I am doing so well.
I also workout nearly everyday, try my best to eat healthy, and meditate nearly every morning.
Depression sucks, but you have to realize, being happy is NOT EASY, you have to work for it, sludge through the depression by walking outside, meditating, eating healthy, USING YOUR PHONE LESS, cutting back on bad habits, and LISTENING TO THAT "GOOD" VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD.
When you have the motivation, you can do anything you set your mind to, regardless of how smart you are. People don't realize, MOTIVATION DOES NOT COME MAGICALLY, YOU NEED TO WORK FOR IT.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
You just recounted my life. It was surreal to listen to this. Think I'll sit through it again
Brother youve nailed so many good points here. Good on ya for this!
Wubba lubba dub dub.
That's how I felt for a good period of time until I started reaching out to others in similar communities. Communities like tech, science, and creative arts (everyone wants to be an artist but I'm talking about musicians, etc. that are good enough to actually make money out of it) tend to have a higher abundance of others with a high IQ. I actually met my wife because we were both doing creative arts for a living at the time. I've since moved on to I.T. because I love it and it makes a better living but that's what prompted us to get to know each other. It's the basic notion of finding out what you're interested in, then finding others in the same subject.
The internet is full of people claiming to be highly intelligent. You see, on the internet wishful thinking counts as fact.
There’s this painting in which dozens of ladders jut from a mind in a precarious stack towards a light, but the structure becomes completely untenable just short of it. That’s what having an _almost_ above average IQ is like. I’d trade a bit more loneliness for the real deal tbh.
You can also use your intelligence to learn social cues and develop better emotional intelligence. One big issue with us high IQ people is that we just specialize in one kind of knowledge. When we work on different aspects of ourselves including the ones we're lacking we are able to handle more situations with ease.
@@smartjackasswisdom1467 Yeah I feel grateful that at a young age I realized my lack of social ability and used my intelligence to develop better social cues and in general interact with people better. I indulged myself in their interest and soon found the commonalities between what I find of interest and what they do. Ive grown up knowing that the majority of what I love wont be understood by the masses but I understand the majority of what the masses love and it helps make it all feel less lonely.
I’m 20 years old. When I went to the psychiatrist he made me do a supervised IQ test I’ve also had a result of 133 but he told me I’m not using my gift the way I’m supposed to. Watched your video hoping I’d find an answer to how I’d use my gift, but instead found a very wise and grounded person and you just gave me hope that it’s not too late to start using my IQ in the right place. I look up to you
Glad it was of some help to you! And thanks for your kind comment :) You might be someone who would find meaning in my book (see video description), judging your comment and previous comments by readers...
Same, I didn't know where to use my gift, whatching him, J.B. Peterson and Alan Watts helped me a lot.

@@privated7918 What's your digit ratio? ua-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/v-deo.html
@FNAF TV yes...he as 19 points higher than me
I agree with a lot of your points and it’s good content. I’m glad to see you had a character arc and didn’t let an accredited institutionalized higher intelligence level make you arrogant.
Some think they have to “dumb things down” or feign intelligence around others but you never know who could also be equally as intelligent but have 0 interest in engaging in deep philosophical discussions or complex systems based thinking.
Pseudo intellectuals fall prey to this all the time and get a false sense of superiority. They become confused because people they engage with aren’t interested in discussing stoicism or some loose concept of metaphysics and would rather they just shut up so they can just watch the game or share stories of their personal life (more atypical of regular human interaction). Whether the frustrated person actually does have a high IQ or just has average intelligence but thinks their interest in “smart” subject matter makes them intelligent, they believe the uninterested person must be of inferior intelligence which is a false assumption.
In other words, many intelligent people enjoy simplicity and “dumb” discussion and it has 0 reflection on their actual intelligence level. Easy conversation and engagements can be pleasant especially for those in professions that require making tough decisions and solving complex challenges on a day to day basis.
Nothing more annoying than commenting on how lovely the weather is today and someone pointing out a mathematical breakdown on the temperature fluctuations, the physics of the wind blowing, and the density of gases in the Ozone layer. A smart person eventually learns just saying “Yep, perfect hiking weather” is a perfectly acceptable answer.
I love your view!!! It's the perfect way of 'getting out of your brain' and start to feel the people around you. I found it also the perfect way of listening to people and every now and then using that same powerful brain to give them a (possible) solution or a different view. Not in a way of 'I'm smarter than you', but more like a 'here's a side-note'.
It made me a lot happier in life and it made half of my problems go away.
Being smart can be a gift, but you might have to get out of that head to actually do something with it. I think it's very difficult to do, because it's very addicitve to dabble in the brain energy. It probably only works when you enter the boredom territory and after that... possibly enter in the fascinating world of 'human interactions'. Scary stuff, if you're used to rationalizing everything.
Thank you for this highly personal testimony! I love the honest bluntness of it, especially because so many people can wrongly assume that there's arrogance or exaggeration behind this kind of account. As someone who also tested at 133, I can relate to so many things. The analogies portion of the GRE exam was very frustrating because I found plausible connections between multiple answers. Your "think dumb" response really speaks to that frustration and to feeling like I lack "commonsense." I'm also struck by others' confidence compared to my own hesitation. As an academic, I'm constantly surprised by how efficiently my peers breeze through tasks without worrying about the details of them. I'll peer review articles and spot endless errors and flaws that would cause delays if it were my work. I'll examine a PhD thesis and be the only one on the committee asking for revisions to mistakes that I thought were serious. Consequently, my own work gestates for far too long with perfectionism and it feels like the world marches by in confident mediocrity. I think wisdom is learning to develop compromise to better understand when details matter in the grand scheme. That's something I think gifted people might overlook earlier in life.
Thanks for this extremely honest and detailed video! I understand your feelings of difference and superiority, as well as your feeling of inferiority you talked about. I think the natural reaction to such feelings is to put them away or at least hide them, thinking "I can't be better than other people", or "I'm not that special".
It's very refreshing hearing an honest report about all this!
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."

No, I didn't go to a good school/college, t according to my standards of a good school. But for a school to meet my standards I'd have to invent it :)
Have you seen my video on the 2D:4D ratio ua-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/v-deo.html Would be very interested to hear what's yours?
@@Abel.Abelson what would a school that met your standards look like/teach?
@@connorc1548 It's not what it would teach, it's how. In short: no recipes, no memory parrots. Only full understanding or nothing (ideally a mix of both).
Interesting to see someone else's perspective. I got maximum in international Mensa IQ test which was sort of included in one of the university courses i took, but never did the other one to determine how higher do I get, cause I don't see a point in doing that, but I'm at least 99.865 percentile. It's fascinating how in some things, like being interested in fundamentals and elementary basics of all phenomenon or for ex. overwhelming consideration of all possibilities to everything, most people with high IQ completely relate. But then other things are just a matter of perspective which gives me a deeper understanding of what the IQ actually measures. For example I don't have many autistic traits like you, but the trend for most of the "gifted" people aligns more with having those traits then not. It is difficult in this field to be certain about some of the correlations, even when IQ is the most researched metric in this field. If I were you tho, I'd think about your perspective on comparison with other people and with looking at the problems with what you describe as "thinking dumb". Your phrasing suggest some issues with your ego. Simplest solutions are the most desired - its not thinking dumber, its thinking in most correct way corresponding to the problem presented. And you definitely don't even need to notice anyone's IQ in any situation and rather consider their other qualities to whatever you're trying to have in them - like kindness, loyalty or honesty in friends, etc. It's easy to find a place with people where you can ventile your needs with more of a high level thinking and conversations - let that be jobs, academic grounds, etc. But you should learn to not require all of aspects in your life to be like that, that's foolish.
Hi, just came across your video testimonial today and wanted to reach out and thank you for sharing and your efforts in trying to help others 😊.
I hope that you finally found happiness and inner peace. 😊
I appreciate that he did this video, being honest and really talking about himself, very cute. I think we can all relate to him in some way or another.
"no,no,no,no...., I have to think dumb" lol
As a fellow sufferer of this relatively uncommon condition I have always wondered why they refer to it as a gift, in my experience it is more of a curse. I’ve become somewhat of a dilettante and found it very difficult to function “normally”, every professor I had at University wanted to see me personally after reading the first paper I would submit and tell me if I only knuckled down I could pursue an academic career but I could never select a single field of study; I find most social interactions profoundly unfulfilling, have worked a wide variety of jobs without being able to discover a sense of vocation (the closest I came to a career was as a chef because it’s so challenging, but eventually the hours and outrageously low wages wore me down). Depression, isolation and a kind of listless drift have been the mainstays of my adult life, along with a constant, nagging sense of failure.
Start a business
I feel this heavy, for the most part. People always wish they were smart. I think that's a poor thing to want/strive for. I think if most people suddenly woke up significantly smarter, they'd blow their heads clean off after a couple weeks. Its rough dealing with deep, philosophical questions racing through your mind, and thinking about how most people essentially suck and are fake people.
I was labeled as top 2% of top 2%, passing mensa exams at 12, but I left the straight and narrow and coasted through education only putting effort into exams and expectedly diddnt achieve my potential accedemicly.
I think of most things about modern life in comparison to humans over millenia from diet to behaviour.
Were not designed to be in the class room.
I still exell in understanding new topics and spend most of my free time learning but I found my calling in life not purely thinking and achieving acedemic success but getting a fairly regular job as a renderer (throwing various types of mud and rock at walls) my understanding of the sciences along with being very physical have left me legues above the types who usually take up this trade and now I do very well in life and feel great satisfaction. I do have the strangest of hobby's as most would regard them to satisfy my hunger for understanding and knowledge.
I get the depression thinking about how the world works and almost seeing into the future with certain personal and social situations that I feel powerless to effect. It's easy to wish ignorance.
Maybe try something similar in aiming to what seems to be beneath you but obsessing and developing ideas in somthing more seen to be left to the average level thinker. That's how progress gets made when one person develops somthing simple further others follow the new knowledge developed and satisfaction is gained through making a difference and mark upon the world.
I've developed new techniques and methods along with designing my own products pushing a whole industry forward without intending to. Something as simple as spreading mud on walls. We don't have to develop the next futuristic tech or ground breaking paper. All aspects of humanity need all types of people to move forwards.
Most importantly for inner peace/happiness
BE CREATIVE in what ever discipline falls upon you as oppertunity or through persistent chasing of goals. Every disaster or bad thing in life is a new opoertunity to Learn grow and develop
Adding a little more after noticing a point in your comment after wrote that struck a chord with me thinking you may be a similar type to me.
The chef thing. That is something I'm passionate about is cooking and food. It's the basis of all life, but at the same time can be the most complex and articulate way to express your self. I've never done it professionally buy aim for professional quality at home and cooking for friends. .
It takes either an artist or a great understanding of sciences, maths ect to be at the top of the game. That could be your calling if you were pulled to it. Try aim at a small scale business rather than a busy kitchen where you could have influence over menus and dishes in time, it wouldn't take much to be able to do the same your self and be your own boss in a small establishment bringing some much needed confidence and moral boost feeling valued in your own small part of society. It doesn't take much to go from feeling worthless to feeling you were here for a reason.
I don't mean t get all profound and trying to dish out too much advice to a stranger, but oak treas grow from tiny acorns and sometimes your best off jamming that star shaped peg in the circle hole. It's stronger and still touches in all the right places leaving all those nice gaps for other things in life that bring joy.
I've never done an intelligence test, so I don't know if I'm smart or that I just think I'm smart. Anyway, after doing some intellectual jobs, I decided to get a simple job, work as less as possible (because I've never found a job I'm passionate about) and use the left-over time to figure out how I can renovate my house and survive on as little as possible. That... made me a happier person, because I can use my brain to find solutions and then put them in practice. I like the thinking part more than the acting part, but I decided that it's part of the deal. Nothing has to be perfect either, just enough to give me a sense of 'having done the best I could'.
Not preaching the off-grid evangelical, but it definitely gave me a sense of calmness.
I hope you find a way to feel fulfillment as well!!!
I got into trouble and ended up taking an IQ test. When they told me that I was gifted and that 98% of the world was more stupid than me I felt strange. BTW my sister was diagnosed as a sociopath and her IQ was identical to mine.
Would be interesting to check your digit ratio: ua-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/v-deo.html
I’m going out on limb but I don’t think anyone would say that 98% of the population is dumber than the person who is gifted. If they did they don’t understand gifted.
Sociopaths always seem to have high IQs. They're damn witty.😂
They are not more stupid than you, a person with an iw of 128 is not less capable than a person with an iq of 130.
@@oliobgmoti-bulgaria8401 I am not being arrogant when I call people with lower iq stupid. I had always felt that I was stupid. One strange thing is that there are a lot of people out there who think that they are perfection personified when it is obvious that they are compromised intellectually. Plus my psychologist said that iq was a bit fluid and a person had about a 10 point range - good days and bad days.
This is an incredibly valuable video. Thanks for taking the time to explain like you did. Especially the "think dumb". My biggest social roadblock is overcomplicating things, not to be pretentious but because being precise matters to me more than to other people. I need to practice not over thinking, relaxing.
You're welcome, thanks for the kind comment. Have you seen my video on prenatal testosterone? I'd be interested in knowing your 2D:4D ratio (see the video), if you're interested in exploring the subject. Cfr. ua-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/v-deo.html
@@Abel.Abelson I just watched it, and my right hand 2D:4D ratio is 0.97-0.98 roughly. I'm not familiar enough with the research to draw any conclusions from that in high vs. low ratio. I do test poorly, though that is largely due to my issues with focus (unable to study ahead of time), combined with the "explosion of possibilities". It also happens in conversation, if there's a problem or unfamiliar term my mind will latch on and try to untangle it causing me to miss out on what the person has said. For your own interest, my IQ is somewhere between 125 and 150. Almost as though I've got a varying "focus coefficient" attached to it.
@@dittilio I think meditation could be useful for you. Mindfulness or zen.
I agree with Abel about meditation. It’s been a serious quality of life improvement for me. I’m high functioning autistic (in short), relate to what you said, and it’s done wonders for me.

Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)

"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)

Same here, buddy. I'm 38 and just found out about being intelectually gifted. I live in Brazil, learned English by myself, and my past was exactly like you mentioned. I'm also looking to those years now with this new information, and it's changing my life. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this journey through your life. Recognized a lot and I realized that it probably is a good idea to use the knowledge to go back and mend some of the things I still have not come to turns with from my youth. Again - thanks.
It's great to find videos of gifted people just talking, there are really few and sometimes you really feel like there is no one sharing the same situation.
Yes, exactly. Thank you for your comment :)
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*

I have a similar IQ to yours and I don’t know if you have ever felt this, but when you know you are gifted it puts a lot of pressure on you, people expect you to be like a new Albert Einstein or something and it just makes me feel like I’m not good enough. Lately I’ve been thinking about how I’m no longer the one I used to be and that I’m starting to be dumber and dumber and it just... makes me feel like I gave away my gift
I have people in my life that, like yourself, feel they are getting dumber and dumber over time. Now I won’t tell you my IQ score, only because I’m a big believer that intelligence can’t possibly be measured by a test. However, I’m 26 and I feel like my cognitive performance, my empathy, and my overall intelligence is improving immensely. And this is because I go to great strides to exercise and care for my brain. As the saying goes "use it or lose it".
My dear foreign friend,trust me,can you tell why you aren't pursuing your goals in life and live your life to its fullest while you could do it easily and way better than your peers?
Can you just answer this simple question?
Try to see it on The biological way, firstly. Which means that you should do as much as you can to keep your Brain healthy. Try to improve your routine, to take out bad things. And then you try to get your ideas together. This in a long time. Take it easy and slowly! Good luck, bro!
Oh my god, yes i have been like that as well. It seems like people are far more intelligent than they used to be
were the conditions before more enjoyable and now more threatening? did you have more confidence because of competent conditions which result you can repeat right now? If so, the results would be better or worse? If has to do with information, it’s normal to forget. If it has to di with age, it’s normal for gifted children to have stuff that is too easy (and a lot of classmates that perform less than they are expected by the government, criteria that is low fir gifted people). The Dunning-Kruger effect can happen in any decil, because competence and confidence (whether low or high) its there. Maybe you noticed flaws you didn’t see before, but that is part of your personal journey. Do you have a project more complex that you had before? that is also part of you getting more developed: the thing is that you didn’t have to put the same effort as the other people under a far less chaotic environment, in which you are a possibility that is not being helped as it should, because gifted children are also special needs
I'm Kenyan & I took the online Mensa Norway test and scored a 131 . I really find my self stupid on certain occasions and extremely clumpsy with small things. So this result kinda took me by surprise on first glance . Then I remembered that I never used to struggle academically in primary school and was sort of curious and enthusiastic of certain fields of science. So I guess I drew the results from that . When I reached Highschool my mind became really hyper and at times I used to be lost in imagination and contemplation various concepts & ideas . I can also say that I got bored with school and I didn't do that well in my KSCE ( this are national exams one does at the end of highschool before joining university, kinda like SAT tests.) My ksce score got me humbled so much and at the same it kinda made see myself as more stupid than I already did . I'm working to get rid of this mindset but i'm not sure if I should because I find viewing oneself as more intelligent can ,in some sense ,make them arrogant. It's great that I can relate to a good number of things in this video.

Here also, everything you said resonates a lot. It feels good knowing we aren't a few!
As another person who’s been called ‘gifted,’ I really relate to what you said. There was a time in my childhood that I tried to dumb myself down in an attempt to gain social capital. It really just ended up making me look like the class clown, which didn’t help anyone relate to me. It caused me to fall behind and develop unhealthy responses to work and stressors, which are becoming much more prominent now that I’m further along in my education. For any other ‘giftees’ reading this, don’t do what I did. Being yourself is the only satisfying way to be. Also, educate yourself about Asperger’s, OCPD, and ADHD. They’re extremely under diagnosed and I would hesitate a guess that at least half of the gifted kids at my school were on the Asperger’s spectrum. If you constantly feel like you see the world in a different way than other people, that’s a big clue. It’s important to understand how this condition can affect you because the world is built to serve the needs of neurotypical people.
Thanks for sharing, I agree completely! Concerning "the world is built to serve the needs of neurotypical people", once you get certain fundamentals right and wise up on them, the world can also become your oyster again ;) For you and everyone else reading this: check out my book "How to handle neurotypicals" bit.ly/neurotp !

As a low IQ individual I also found school boring because I found it difficult to understand what the teacher was saying. It was almost like listening to someone speak a foreign language. I could remember very little information as a result.
Same, there were both sides when I could understand and doing homework ahead of the textbook - that's when I tried to pay attention the rest years I got 6/10 highest grade on all subjects with sleeping most of my classes and not paying attention. I'm intellectually disabled but there were instances when I could relate to all people divided in categories, I could feel the emotion of those who couldnt focus and I could see their thoughts - what made of them. I cannot do that anymore as I've drugged myself and made my body crippled including my brain
compared to regular folks you have this calmness that points out to a clear thinking and clear mind, it's always a pleasure to watch and be around such people
This is the most relatable video I have ever watched.
I have never been able to relate to people. I always wondered why people talk about the things they do.
My saving grace has been philosophy. In particular Epictetus, Seneca, and Plato. Philosophy to me is like a shining light of order, in in a world of darkness and chaos... I highly recommend Philosophy
I understand, but I came to see philosophy as completely missing the point. Like lost in its own fumes completely, and although they think they talk about the world, they actually don't even realize where their own butt is (they "know" where it is, but they don't realize it). Completely missing the acute here.
@@Abel.Abelson I think the Enchiridion of Epictetus Translated by Elizabeth Carter is by far the best. I too would have thought philosophy was a bunch of pretentious old farts had i not read this first.. Like Plato's republic, just wow so drawn out and dull.
If you haven't read the enchiridion by Epictetus, i would strongly recommend giving it a chance, that book changed my outlook on life more than any other..
I'll be sure to check out your book ..
@@gameshot586 My biggest problem with philosophy is that most, if not all, is based on the blank slate paradigm. Meaning they talk about "the human" this and that ("the human condition", etc), but actually there are innate neurological differences between (groups of) humans that are so huge that there's nothing you can say in general about the human experience/existence/... that makes sense, if you see what I mean. All of them blissfully unaware of neurodiversity and how your individual neurological setup defines your inner and outer world. The only philosopher I kind of like, and in retrospect, that acknowledged neurodiversity in an instinctive way, was Diogenes of Sinope. Cool guy :) Story goes an emperor who was an admirer of his came to see him while he was sitting outside, and asked him what he could give him, and Diogenes replied "if you could just move aside a few inches, you're blocking my sun" :)

@@hydemicheal3046 Just like any other neural firing is ;)
I have a high IQ, and went through some of the same things as as you did when I was a child. I couldn’t understand how some people were so mean and aggressive, and developed a fear of people based on the interactions with some very aggressive children and adults. The way most people thought was strange to me, especially how a state of emotion would lead to thoughts and subsequently beliefs, then actions in people. I’m glad to be older and understand that I’m just different than most, and as such I’ve had a different life experience than them.
Wow! You just described me. A lot of people think I'm proud and aloof.
Can you really understand those fears if you don't actually go through them? I mean if ppl understood these fears of other people based on interactions w/ mean children/adults, they wouldn't have any fear. You don't understand and neither do they.
I was diagnosed with Asperger at age 29. Had mostly terrible grades in school, except for English and Music (IT too later down the line). Always been terrified of taking an IQ test because I've been worried of getting a low or average score. There is nothing wrong with an average score, but for my fragile ego it is. When you said "think stupid" and to not analyze it up and down wondering what they actually want, it fired up a light bulb in my head. Maybe I'll do an IQ test in the future... Thanks for sharing!
you are indeed quite low intellect, which I am merely basing on how important you think an IQ test is. Simply skim through the critiques IQ as a concept has on Wiki and hopefully you'll understand enough.
Don't do it! Just kidding, it's up to you. I have ADHD and have pretty strong rejection sensitive dysphoria, as well as emotional and ego issues. If I knew my score, it would haunt a part of my mind forever. I'd perceive it as criticism. I will avoid it at all costs.

@@fr3ak1shh Besides why take the test when IQ doesn't really matter unless you are retarded or extremely gifted? The vast majority has an IQ within the normal range anyway.
the "think dumb" advice is brilliant! i've done a lot of online iq tests and in most of them i tend to find a totally different solution that makes as much logical sense for me as any other and get the questions wrong, i'll experiment thinking dumb next time!
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)

@@OngoGablogian185 i got professionally tested a couple of years back for my ADHD diagnosis, turns out i am in fact intellectually gifted :))
if your metric to measure someone's intelligence is how they write on the internet, boy do i have news for you!!! i have better things to do instead of worrying about capitalization in youtube comment, especially when it's my second language ;)
if you're privileged enough to actually worry about the uttermost trivial aspect of a message, and feel as if you have the right to judge how dumb someone is based on it, congratulations on successfully wasting your time
Hey, Abel. I have never made official IQ tests but scored relatively high on the MENSA online test, 133 as well. I can relate to many things you said. I always felt "better" than most but also worst in a sense. People always seemed to be living life in the easy mode while I had to figure out stuff on my own. I have always been very unassertive and insecure. My interests as a kid were creating fictional countries, languages, and cultures. I'm more of a humanities guy. My grades in school were pretty bad.
I feel like when you have a higher IQ all this social play we have to perform becomes clearer and clearer, thus harder to participate. Seems like I can't communicate to anyone because of it.
Great video. Nice to know there are people similar to me.
Yes, completely. It's like a theater piece but with the lights on, bad props and bad acting, we just can't really get into it, right? Glad the video was helpful :)
You know, once you really get to understand them, these neurotypicals do have their reasons and logic and after all a quite complex and dense social interaction, simply not in the manner we have. Knowing what makes them tick helps a lot in sharing the same planet (and often room) with them.
You should definitely check out my books, I'm sure you'll find a high degree of recognition there, and also quite some info that will add new angles to your reflections: amzn.to/3paQsmz .
@@Abel.Abelson Thank you, will check them out
I thought the supposed "online mensa iq test" wasn't a legitimate test and I didn't find that out until after I took it and got 142 on it and attempted to find a way to get into mensa but of course you can't if it isn't a legitimate test.
I noticed this too. But I learned how to talk and participate to a much better point then barely getting by after awhile. If you stop thinking and get used to responding and reacting with no thought then life communicating with them is a lot easier. Yea, socializing is hopelessly complicated but I think for them it is mostly an automated process. Most of it I think is learned behavior that they practice emulating but wouldn't be able to describe themselves.
Are you my twin lol
Thank you for making this video.
I am quite possibly not as high IQ as you, but I relate to everything you've said.
I used to spend a lot of time trying "to be normal" and please my parents, friends and teachers. It took me 8 years to recover from trauma and actual relative success of numbing my mind which I've achieved.
Don't follow this path, it's not worth it. Be unique - find people you can relate to - is my message to whoever is reading this.
I wish I had a friend like you Abel, when I most needed it
very good video. thank you for the honesty and transparency
me after answering a question in class correctly while im not paying attention
Hello Abel!
thank you for making this video, it's pleasant to know that people such as us are not alone, in my personal experience of being "intelligent", i found that it had a lot to do with empathy, being able to put myself in the shoes of something outside of me and understand perspectives of said thing without necessarily judging it before hand, there was a certain interconnectedness i felt when it came to me and my surroundings, and things that were obvious to me were unfortunately not so clear to those around me, people seemed to lack the sensation of being united with their environment, the sensation of being aware enough to notice the tiny little factors in behavioral quirks that essentially give light to modern day issues.
I've always felt very deeply, that intelligence and unity are deeply connected, and that when it comes to an intelligent person, they never discount anything by the automatic process of faith or belief, but remain eternally open minded to the plausibility that said thing could be used to gain a deeper understanding of a core pattern within a particular concept or category or field of understanding. So for example, an intelligent person wouldn't be so quick to dismiss God and become an atheist, nor would an intelligent person be so quick to dismiss atheism, but would look to balance two sides of the coin and find the repetitive pattern inside of the two polarities to basically click all the neural networks together.
This is most definitely how i have experienced being unlike others, and this tends to be how my brain works, i enjoy looking at polarities and finding the thing that holds the polarity together, and then classifying that into an easy to understand essay or term. In that in relation to your life is visible when you noticed your polarity as an individual is very different to others, and that there is clearly a sensation of difference that has to be understood, and you essentially went out of your way to classify that different which would be where i would be interested indeed in reading your book to understand your discoveries in this experience. It's also wonderful to see you have a UA-cam channel and you are ever yet sharing your experiences.
I feel like how society views intelligence is quite warped, i never done well in school at all, i got incredibly average grades because i lacked the drive to be at all interested in school, i didn't care about it and at the time, games and connecting with friends through those games was thoroughly more entertaining, yet it seems society is hell bent on the idea that if someone gets incredible grades in school and outperforms their peers, that classifies them as someone who is intelligent, but then those very same people lack the empathy to actually understand the world. It makes me question whether these people are actually intelligent as i see it because their behaviors hardly reflect their ability to perform academically. Overall, i've always felt as though the way school measures intelligence is incredibly out-dated, these people who are supposedly intelligent i find are people who have incredibly logical minds and the ability to processes things very quickly, but efficiency of mind doesn't necessarily mean that the quality of said mind is at all refined or pure in nature.
When i look at you i see the meek humbleness as well as the innate prowess that reminds me of myself, and i feel warm inside to know that once again, people like us actually are not alone. I feel through the manifestation of embarrassment, and desire for social approval, that people like us are limited in our ability to express ourselves, and so we end up being very low-key or "out there", but here you are putting yourself "out there" for the world to see. So thank you, going to listen to more of your videos!
Couldn't agree more! If I hadn't been under the emotional pressure I was (bad parenting to put it short) I definitely would have been an average student too. Tried to buy love through performance (spoiler alert: doesn't work :) ). Yes, intelligence is definitely confounded with long-term encyclopedic memory and "robotic" proficiency in rule-based systems (like maths). Zero understanding necessary or even desired in order to be considered "smart", very annoying.
Hey, I would be very interested to know what 2D:4D ratio you have (according to certain hypotheses this is linked to prenatal testosterone, which again is linked to how your brain developed and functions). It's like a personal research of mine :). If you want to participate, have a look at this video of mine and let me know me what your digit ratio is... ua-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/v-deo.html Only if you feel like it of course.
school is a memory game! i hope to be able to explain things as well as you one day but have been brought a lot of humility by my inability, by not having to prove my intelligence to others. a diamond still shines even when no one's looking.

Thank you for sharing, I can only imagine how your earlier life experience could have differed had UA-cam existed back then. Life is the way life is though. Grateful I came across this, thank you for sharing
Crazy how our experience sounds similar. I never took an I.Q test, unfortunately, but it doesn't matter since I understand where I stand more or less. Wish I didn't find school boring while I was younger tbh. Anyway, I can't believe how you perfectly explained your experience. I'm glad that you point out just because someone is educated or " intelligent" doesn't necessarily correlate with doing with "success" lol but one thing for certain people who are educated but show no Signs of intelligence is fascinating.
Thank you. I am just 19 years old but in the last years I had many situations where I felt that I am "different" in any way. I began to call myself crazy, became extremely insecure and tried to avoid people. I really thought I am dumb/crazy. Thanks for sharing this

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)

*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
being smart and having knowlage are two completely different things
Thanks ! For being so precise. And for sharing all. Dankeschön!
Many of us perceive reality as if looking through magnifying goggles, accentuating its larger details. This shared perspective enables us to recall events of our lives with exceptional clarity. When we share these vivid recollections, we often encounter skepticism from others. They might mistakenly think we are exaggerating or fabricating, which can lead us to wonder if they are mocking us. However, we understand that their disbelief is not mockery but a reflection of their own differing experiences and perceptions of reality.
I have an IQ of 137-142, unsure of exact number now. I am finishing medical school soon and starting training in psychiatry. I prefer to spend most of my free time alone. I know a tremendous amount about my hobbies and am easily bored with people who don't know a lot about at least something. I have also had troubles in the past, like social phobia/anxiety and severe alcohol and drug addiction when a teenager, but I have been recovered from the latter for 10 years. My life struggle is the difficulty in communicating my complicated philosophies and knowledge systems to others--for me, they are like instantaneous visions, if that makes any sense, and verbalizing these takes a lot of words. Sometimes I must resort to telling people, "I'm right about this. Just trust me." And my other difficulty is that my way of viewing the world and making decisions is based on a mental catalog of thousands of research papers and books I've read, and it is frustrating to relate to people who just make choices out of transient feelings at a given moment in time, almost at random.
That sounds a bit like typical Asperger's to me, would you recognize yourself in that? What's your 2D:4D digit ratio? (I would hypothesize rather on the masculine side). ua-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/v-deo.html
Meh dude, my recommendation, get over yourself. Open a advance calculus textbook and try to solve some of the harder question by heart in a quick manner. Or open a textbook in advance medicine and ask yourself, how much of the diseases and symptoms etc can you actually recognize that is beyond the average medical student? If your answer is, yes I can do advance calculus with easy from heart on a white piece of paper, or even in my head, or I can recognice several medical symptoms and add them up and put a correct diagnosis on rare diseases outside of the basic textbooks you learn in class, yea then you might be on to something. Otherwise, again give it a rest and actually do your best in your field instead of bragging about some arbitrary average score of 135-140 lol
@@snyggmikael You can always start your own organization for intellectually gifted people and select members on the basis of calculus textbooks and recognition of diseases in medical textbooks. Might be jolly good fun, why not. The rest of the world will probably continue to use standardized IQ-tests though.
And BTW, mentioning your IQ, especially in a comment on a video about intellectual giftedness, is not bragging, it's simply a relevant piece of information.
I also did a test and got 137. I can relate very much with what youre saying except for the alcohol. I guess it also comes with isolation and social neglect. Its weird if you know the advanced like machinery or systems and mechanics of a concept and how to apply it in a functional way like on all levels, socially, personally or in careers and people dont get it while this is how it works efficiently. I also dont get why people dont value this and why theyre being so dysfunctional. I dont mean to sound mean but thats literally exactly what it looks like. I thought everyone thinks like me and i didnt understand people and always thought there was something wrong with me but i guess its them hahahahha
Like i wouldnt care if there werent so many wars and such suffering in the world.. but unfortunately the result of unwholesome behaviour is suffering thats why it makes me sad..
I got interested in getting a test very early, not because of any profound reason that made me feel too out of place but rather a simple curiosity due to my performance in school. It was weird to me when others were studying for subjects and such, all I did was listen to the classes and that was enough for me to understand what was being presented to me, which translated in me acing more or less my highschool (i did do bad at a subject or two but I felt like it was just because I simply do not like what was being presented). I never did any official tests because I'm reluctant but I did around 50ish tests which net me an average of 144.
I didn't really like talking to people since I was preoccupied with so many things which I found interesting so I never had the chance to see that other people aren't exactly like that. It was just confusing to see when I enrolled to college that most people speak 1 or 2 languages and I taught myself 4 just out of curiosity, or my obsession with space and physics of it all, nature of things, and all around a plethora of different hobbies. Kinda felt awkward to integrate into the society as I realized just how important it is to form relationships and everything inbetween.
Hi, I will comment on your behaviour, i think that whether you knew or not that you were gifted, you actually used your intellect in a good way, focusing on productive ways to stimulate your intelligence, that's really good.
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)

(Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
i feel the exact same way. it can be so isolating when it feels like everyone is communicating in a different language - life feels so underfulfilling. it’s caused me great grievance in the past, especially as a teenager, because of how isolating the understimulation was back then, particularly as i lacked social skills
Great video. Nice explanation about the proof of mensa test helping you get closure etc.
“Everything that I know, is that I know nothing”
That's a bit of a misquote of Socrates. Lol.
everything that i know is that i cant read this shitquote anymore
I don't fully agree with Socrates on this one!
Not even that!
Man sees a thing and names it[] I see a thing and name it [] you see a thing and name it......wait a minute what's a thing??? What's what? ??? .....????.......???????????????????????
My IQ has been measured at 141. I am able to grasp things very, very quickly. When learning something new it almost seems that I'm _remembering_ it rather than learning it.
What is strange though is that if I don't use what I've learned I forget it really quickly.
In social situations I basically imitate what others do around me, I'm not great at fitting in.
I'm irritated by and awed by other people.
My hobby is thinking, one of my greatest pleasures in life is to lie awake at night for hours on end just thinking.
I can never get to sleep quickly, it always takes me a minimum of an hour no nod off.
I share your love of Star Trek.
I don't watch many TV programs, but Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes are my absolute favourites.
I love reading, Sci-Fi and Fantasy ara amongst my favourites.
I really hate loud noises. I love quiet.
I'm a really good programmer - that's what I do for a living.
I'm ashamed to say that I'm really enjoying not having to interact physically with people during lockdown.
I'm dreading all of the hugs that people are threatening to inflict on eachother when/if this pandemic comes to an end.
Hey Michael, I enjoy the lockdown too, for the most part, and I'm not ashamed to say or think or feel so. I'm not hurting anyone in being an introvert and enjoying peace and calm (and the more environmentally friendly lifestyles of other people, be it unwanted).
I used to imitate a lot too, but I found out it isn't necessary. They actually don't give a hoot about you, as long as you don't get in their way. And if you get in their way, and "own" your point or stance, they'll even respect it, and it's not a problem either. So you can actually be yourself to a large degree, they don't care. The only thing you have to do, is not overexpose yourself. Their screaming indifference is your safe haven.
I know it sounds like publicity, but you might be interested in my latest book "How to handle neurotypicals" bit.ly/neurotp. It's a lifetime of learning in a condensed format, it's meant to be informative, and "connect" between neurodivergents at the same time. Should ring some belles here and there for you, and might give you a fresh perspective.
Also, check out my video on the 2D:4D ratio, prenatal testosterone and the influence on brain and behavior, it might also be an eye-opener for you... ua-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/v-deo.html. And have a great day! :)
You know, having just read your post, I agree with the not-being-able-to-fall-asleep part. One of the hardest things for me, would be to fall asleep without 'exploding' in thought. I like to compare my brain to a pinball machine. All it takes is just one 'thrust', or thought, and all of a sudden I am bouncing off of the walls, so to speak.
i can relate to this, it really feels like "remembering" when i'm learning something... i also work as a programmer btw :)
How did you test your iq ??
Hahaha!! Though I have absolutely no idea what my IQ is, don't care either, I too can relate to alot of this and found the part about enjoying the lockdown hilarious because where I'm at, I seem to be the only one that prefers not having to physically interact with so many people.😄
That could also just be a personality trait which has it's roots in other areas. Who knows. Maybe we're just weird like that.🤷♀️
Thank you for this message Abel.
Was tested 118 when I was 10, I am 37 now, always felt like I was below average on the understanding of fundamental basic life things (and other things), and I change my mind on fundamental topics very often. Thank you for sharing your experience. This might actually help me find peace.
I think tests at a young age don't mean as much. At 12 I was told my IQ was 144. Years later It was marked at 135, which is still above average, but not nearly as exceptional. I don't believe my problem solving skills have diminished that significantly relative to my piers, but I think the metric has potentially changed. (I have not looked into it)
Interesting, never thought of that. @@GamingGamer1000
I had my IQ discovered for me in 3rd grade with the Iowa Basics Testing that is the norm here in the USA. I was tested again by the same IB Testing in 5th grade… both times they sent a specialist to my school to have meetings with my parents. I was told my score put me as 1 in 2.6 million human beings…147 I Q.
It was in kindergarten though that I realized that I was smarter than everyone else in my class.
I identify with many of the examples you brought up. Especially as a child, I saw the answers to people’s problems but it was all too easy for just about every adult to dismiss anything I had to contribute.
Best,
what's the standard deviation? in many tests, 147 isnt considered a 1 in 2.6 million score
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder?

This is a great video, it resonates strongly with experiences I had growing up in a deprived Caribbean community in Northern England. I had a lot of self esteem and self confidence issues for most of my young life. I was seen as different not just from the usual ethnic minority life experience perspective, but amongst peers in my own community. I didn’t understand how they were able to excel socially and be so self assured from a young age, yet at the same time they had no passion for learning, enquiry and discovery like I had, and with a burning passion. So in that sense I didn’t have a high regard for these ignorant and shallow minded kids. However, I was torn with wanting to fit in, and to be at least accepted as a social equal which I valued and regarded them highly for that attribute at least. That social ambition only became stronger as I could not stand how schools taught subjects and treated their main subjects, the pupils. The 1970s and most of the 1980s were hell as far as my education was concerned. The scant attention and faint concern shown by teachers to the educational progress and attainment of black kids in that era was so common it was the norm, looking back it’s very clear there was a scandalous agenda at play, but thats another issue that I won’t comment on anymore here. That aside, I had a particular gripe about teachers not deriving equations, formulae from first principles. I secretly yearned for learning fully from first principles, otherwise I was not interested. I became totally bored and confused with the point of school and overall I performed as poorly as my idle social animal peers by the end of my school years. I somehow managed to earn a science and engineering degree after a long and unconventional path through academia. Then still found myself struggling to get my career started as my self confidence issues still waxed and waned unrelentingly. One day I read about MENSA in the waiting room of a dental surgery in the early 1990s so I did a pretest and was invited to test with MENSA at a centre in the city, and I scored 136. I was not impressed, in fact I felt wounded and embarrassed that I had not been accepted by MENSA. I hid the test result in my drawer for years and never told or shared that information with anybody. One day I tore up the little post card sized certificate in a fit of rage. Now 30 years later I look back with some regret at that incident and wish I had the benefit of maturity and hindsight. It would’ve prevent the destruction of what was a record of not only a highly respectable measure of intelligence, but evidence of a what a very confused mind and unhappy soul could still attain when the chips are down. I now feel quite proud that I did the test and scored well enough to confirm that I was not as useless and weird as some thought I was whilst growing up in a tough and uncompromising community within a community. It’s a pity that I never had the wisdom and maturity to take a look at the whole picture and take the positives as well as the negatives into consideration at that point in time. At the end of the day I learned that time eventually heals and furnishes your perspective with deeper insights that helps you unravel the confused thoughts and conflicting relationships you once had with many people to arrive at sensible answers and a satisfying conclusion.
It's interesting how you didn't get accepted into Mensa with a 136 IQ, but the uploader of this video got accepted with a 133 IQ
@@markryder1805 Maybe it wasn’t the Binet scale? I remember receiving a small brown postcard type certificate and a letter telling me that I scored 136 and was in top 1% percentile or whatever and that I didn’t make the grade which I believe was 140-145 or something like that. This was 1993, something may have changed in the U.K. arm of MENSA over that time period. I remember the score I got like it was yesterday, I nearly ripped up the damn thing on the spot. Too bad I carried out the threat some years later in a fit of pique whilst routinely sifting through some Tax documents in a drawer. NOTE TO SELF: Tax affairs are a serious fire hazard on the best of days, keep well away from other sensitive and highly flammable documents 😂
i like watching this and then watching the guy with 75 iq and see how close they really are
Really interesting to hear your perspective. Thanks!
Thank you so so so so much for this video. I have felt this way my whole life. I’m 29 years old. I feel like I could never relate to anyone and I felt very lost as a kid. I had a very hard time connecting with anyone and nobody seemed to worry or be interested in the things I’m interested in. I took a Mensa iq test today and I hope this provides an answer for me. I’m sure it won’t be the end of my forever going mental plague but at least I’ll have a reason as to why.
You're welcome :) Thanks for commenting. Take a look at my video on prenatal testosterone and my ideas on the two types of intellectual giftedness, it may shed light on your IQ results: ua-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/v-deo.html (I think IQ tests are geared towards high prenatal testosterone brains and tend to underestimate the real IQ of low prenatal testosterone brains, so this might be important for the interpretation of your results).
And check out my books ;) amzn.to/3paQsmz . A lot of people have a kind of recognition experience with them, might help you too. Getting to know yourself is a long but very interesting and rewarding road, and you just made another step! 👍
Low EQ?
*Do you believe you're a good person? If so, then have you ever lied, stolen, cursed, committed adultery, or even murder? If the answer is YES, then you have sinned.* According to the Bible, sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4) In other words, you broke God’s law and you are His enemy. God’s enemies end up in Hell, which is a place where there is outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment that goes on forever with no rest. (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:31-36, 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, Revelation 14:11) Anybody that ends up in Hell will NOT have a second chance after the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) *Does that concern you?* You might be thinking, “I haven’t murdered anyone or committed any of the bigger sins worthy of hell.” Well, let’s see about that. Did you know that having hatred towards someone like your own brother or sister makes you a murderer at heart? (Matthew 5:21-22 and 1 John 3:15) If you ever looked at a person that you are not married to with lust (sexual desire), then you have already committed adultery with them in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you have ever said, "Oh my God," or "Jesus Christ," to express frustration or annoyance, then you have used the Lord's name in vain and used it in place of a curse word. That is called “blasphemy.” You wouldn't use your loved one's name as a curse word, would you? By saying His name in place of a curse word, you have insulted your creator. He has given you life, eyes to see, ears to hear, and taste buds for food. *If you have committed ANY one of these sins, then you are destined to go to hell. Do you know what God did for guilty sinners, so that they wouldn’t end up in hell?*
*We have all sinned. (Romans 3:23) So, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to bear our sins. He was buried in a tomb and rose on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He showed His love toward us by dying for us while we were still sinners (His enemies) so that He could redeem us. God's wrath is on those who remain in their sins and do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. We all deserve to be sent to hell. However, Jesus made a way for us to be free from our sins and now wants us to live a different life. If you TRULY BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, then you must repent (turn away from your sins and forsake them), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (born again by water and Spirit), and live for Him with the help of His Holy Spirit, which will help you live a godly/holy life on this Earth. We live as saints (not sinners) to show our gratitude for the love He has shown to us by taking up the cross. We must have faith (believe/trust) in Jesus Christ, and by the grace of God, it will lead us to salvation. Also, FEAR GOD to stay away from evil and the things that would otherwise morally corrupt us, and continue to faithfully and obediently follow the Lord to the end (Hebrews 5:9)*
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matthew 7:21-23)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
"Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ ” (Mark 8:34-38)
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:38)
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:1-4)
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:13-14)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (Romans 10:9-13)
"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.' " (2 Timothy 2:19)
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
"For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
"But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear." (1 Peter 1:15-17)
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
I don’t think I’m an intellectual , but I remember that in my teenage years I started to spend many hours every day understanding /researching the mechanics of the human body and how to improve it. Which led to an obsession of understandings things I don’t necessarily have a passion for.
The motivation behind this was more of “ I must understand this in order to be better”
Rather than “I enjoy this “. I still get a bit of frustration when I have abandoned a task before it’s really understood.
The odd thing Is, I felt incompetent in many situations at school yet my peers would always come to me for help to understand something.
I couldn’t understand how everyone else seemed self assured yet could not rely on themselves to figure out a solution.
So there I was , in a situation where I didn’t fit in but was not excluded (like good old Pluto) . Always observing and understanding behavior.
To this day , I still prefer to be alone and study what I want to learn. But at the same time I wish I could partially let it go to be justlike everyone else, just be a bro.
Going to the gym has helped over the years but I still like to train by myself like most other things.
By the way. Good video man 💪.
You're intelligent. Trying to understand structures out of personal motivation is a typical trait of the intelligent. It doesnt matter that it doesnt come to you immediately. It is hard for even intelligent people.

*That was the Gospel message. Believe in the Gospel and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!*
you just explained exactly how i feel. It's frustrating. So nice to hear someone else say it. I've never had an IQ test in adulthood, (other than the practice mensa test which i passed) but as a child took one at school and was put in the gifted program. No one ever told me my iq results. I wish I knew. Maybe i'll get tested one day.
Liked what he said about the difference between knowing & understanding. A small example on the top of my head, back in school I knew math, when I had the formulas down it wasn't very difficult for me but I never understood it. I just did it.
I've always had despair about life, for instance I would realise that I'm conscious or self aware and realise how weird it was or how weird it was that I could move my fingers and then thought of how weird it was that could think that I could think this etc. Or how weird it was that we were self aware beings on a rock that was rotating a ball of plazma, etc. And I don't really know if it has any correlation with my intelligence but I would always ask my mom, friend or relative if it was weird or fascinating but no one I know related to the same thoughts I had
I can relate to that. Maybe your 2D:4D ratio / prenatal testosterone levels can shed some light on that, see my video ua-cam.com/video/OmbEaBfzKFk/v-deo.html for more details...
Had similar thoughts as a kid, but never had the desire not even one bit to ask someone about it.
OOOH I can relate to that SO MUCH
Existential, man! I relate
Who the fuck doesn’t think that at some point stop tryna act special
