15 Problems Only Smart People Have 

Yes my grandmother used to say that ordinary but determined hardworking people succeed more and are happier than the intelligent ones

15 problems only smart people have: 1. Overvaluing intelligence 2. Easy labor 3. Intentional isolation 4. Poor communication 5. Knowledge gaps 6. Logical priorities 7. Lack of fulfilment 8. External expectations 9. Logical extremes 10. Rarity of happiness 11. Pinpointing flaws 12. Social ineptitude 13. Persistent anxiety 14. Inactive decisions 15. Contrasting behaviour

I’m going to twist this In whatever way I need to make these apply to me.

In my opinion, society is the problem since smart creative people that see things differently from the rest of the flock are seen as outcasts, mad and even threats by others.

*Some of us think holding on makes us stronger, but sometimes it is letting go that makes us stronger.* I believe in you, have an amazing day... 🖤🙏

I'm not the the sharpest tool in the shed but sometimes you don't need a sharp tool. Every tool has its purpose, and I'm the best tool for the jobs I do.

Intentional isolation is often I associate more with introverts, though many intelligent people are naturally introverted

Now let's do a video on emotional intelligence/maturity ☺😁

I always knew I was very intelligent. When I was young, I favored intelligence as a value which I would prefer to find in others. Now in my senior years, I would rather find compassion, empathy, and kindness much more in people whom I meet.

I am not very intelligent.. but this seems to summarise all of my problems 😅

Slight rant just for fun: My greatest personal struggle as a 25 yr old with intelligence is how to most adequately apply my potential, to achieve the outcomes that I envision, within a limited time horizon and relatively below decent capital at the moment. I know innovation is in my future and I genuinely feel success on the horizion, it's just which pathway is the best one to dedicate my work ethic to for the best possible results and least time wastage. If only I could plug this scenario into a calculator and get the resulting unique variable to prioritize haha.

Well that sums up just about everything. It’s not borderline personality disorder or depression I’m just super intelligent person. 🤣🤣🤣

Listening to this video clip had me to take a look at my self in a good way. Thanks top think. Blessings 🙏🏾

I'm not intelligent, but holy crap.. this video brought tears to my eyes because almost every point spoke to me, as if it was made for me to watch. Thanks for putting this together; I appreciate it.

Almost every problem is present in me, now I will try to resolve each one by one. Thanks for this great video. ☺️

Now I can freely say: "I'm not introvert! I'm smart!"

When you spend your whole life thinking and can you can never switch off from it, it's hard for people to understand. Telling you "You don't see life like everyone else does. Live in the real world".

I can very much relate to point 5. I’m learning a lot everyday; however, I am starting to realize that I truly know nothing. Though I may know more than I did yesterday, I still feel like I am not any smarter or knowledgeable. I isolate myself from my friends and others so I can dedicate massive amounts of time towards things I am interested in, like guitar, astronomy, politics, reading, and philosophy. I know that I’m more knowledgeable than the average person, but this is also a curse at the same time. I have this irrational thought that I am behind in life and that I need to catch up through educating myself even further. I’m not depressed, but rather encompass a feeling of disappointment in myself for not knowing more. Ignorance is bliss for sure. Sometimes you just have to lay back and take it easy on yourself. It isn’t fun to restrict yourself of the joys of life so then you can know what happened during the Napoleonic Wars or how the Higgs Field gives elementary particles their mass. Just go with the motion of the ocean :)

I have to say that this video is better than I thought it would be. I would also like to add that many of the phenomena mentioned here decrease with age. As I have spent my whole life analyzing, understanding has increased a lot more, meaning that anxiety doesn't exist anymore and I am generally quite happy.

I don’t just live for mere happiness and good feelings. I live for purpose and intension. I live for God, and that doesn’t always feel good.

It doesn't happen often that I subscribe at the 1st video... Great work man🙌🏾

Many times intelligence equals severe depression which equals suicide.

thank you for your different perspectives

This was hilarious! Thank you my friend ahahaha best entertainment. You are spot on!

Really appreciate the insights about this

I agree, thank you for explaining 😊🙏

I'm afraid I disagree what they've mentioned in no. 6. Many Researches suggest that rationalisation is the best way to cope with stress and anger. Plus you cannot just "not think", unless you dead.

People tell me I'm smart, but I don't see what they see, even tho everything you're talking about is literally me, I still behind in life

Really I wasn't aware of the reason last point.But now I feel happy to know the fact..😊🤘🙂..tq for vdo👍

Sadly, this describes me perfectly. It reminds me that what I thought was my greatest strength is really a hindrance to a happy life. How about a video on the advantages of being smarter than everyone around you?

Such great information!🔥🔥

*“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending...”* *―C. S. Lewis* I may not know you personally, but I believe in you my friend! 🙏

#6 was me for a long time until i started being more present!! Intelligence can take you far but I'm a big believer balance is key 🗝️

Thank you, I am subscribing now

You know why I really love TopThink on how they explain things? That is because most of us still think if we are capable enough to be called intelligent. As much as we want to be normal like everyone else whatsoever. Deep inside we all know that there is something that even we are having difficulties to explain. For 30 years I have been struggling. But it makes me happy for the long process I finally understand a lot of things about life itself. As long as we feel happy, I am pretty sure that we will be alright.

Very insightful.

Spot On. And the killer is average or below average people think or try to make it seem like YOU are weird when simply you are better than they are.

*To find yourself, think for yourself!!*

That 70's show song at beginning?? Lol hope yall have a great one ....

Intelligent people have friends, it’s just that they can get easily overwhelmed with “small talk.” Intelligence can be found in many different ways, Intelligence is one of the most neglected or overlooked skills. If people actually knew what they were intelligent in from the time they were around 10, life would be a lot easier, but it would also make life less fun.

Inteligence and insanity go hand in hand

Tq to u being hear.. 80% of this problems are correct. Post next video on how to overcome this problems..

Yes , these applicable to me but sadly I'm not happy.. overthinking .....

You are so right here, I'm glad i Don't have any of these, 😂😂😂great videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I can't say as an intelligent thinker and learner that I'm alone or shy around others.I can be both(as hybrid)but I enjoy learning new things and many other things.I don't know if anything said is even accurate through this study...the only one I agree with is the relationship point and the flaw part,otherwise all accurate.

THANK YOU. ✊🏼🥰🤗🌹🙏🏼

I know many of these issues. Found out I had Asperger's back in 2015.

great video

Overthinking , pinpointing flaws , Anxiety, over intellectualise

Dang, this hurt me. 26 never had a girlfriend once in my life. Honestly I prefer being alone. All the time I'm on computer all the time on my free time researching or gaming, and work in an office alone, computer programming. The song Overthinker by INZIO represents me. I also have High functioning auitsm.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 wareva man!!! It's the accuracy for me🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️

Ooooh living in the moment always gets me in the doghouse....I don't allow myself to feel around others

Integrity and intelligence are two of the most important traits in humans.

Thanks for this. My daughter is very intelligent. This gives me a better insight into her tortured mind.

When I started watching the video, I was mentioning the traits that apply to me, then decided to mention those that don't apply to me, and it ended up that the video was just talking about my life.

Nice animations

Why does the guys voice sound kind of like bright sides ?

They understand the difference between deserving n begging!👍

I can relate....

your yt channel is very smart and wise topthink very good

I relate to all of it. I know it all too well. Sent

Really nice content as always

This is comprehensive but how do we overcome all of these problems?

True wisdom comes when you realize that you will never actually know anything. What is important is that you think.

Well it kinda sucks when you overthink the future, give up on orpitunities all for the grind. The grind worth everything, BUT i lately decided to break up from an amazing girl im studying with all for the best of my studdies. After a year together It was the first time i failed a test. I broke up with her. Hard for both sides - but its all for the best

My problem was always in how I was such a deep and heavy sleeper, that I could not get up in the mornings, and nobody understood or cared. I was scorned for what seemed to people a deliberate lack of motivation. I had an angry family and humiliating problems like lost jobs and how I was always late for school, so I got detention and then had to walk 2 miles home with no bus. I went to a shrink who could only tell me to get a loud alarm clock, as if I would pay $200 an hour for such a ridiculously simple-minded answer as that.

Thinking u are smart and clicking on this video to compare 😂

I may not be smart, but I have common sense!✨

Let's watch it and see if we're included between them

Nice 👍🏻

Let 's make a video about How to overcome these things. I am waiting for...

Let me guess, the actual intelligent people are the ones that clicked on this video because they believed that none of the 15 traits would apply to them?

Just why am I here when I'm not even intelligent lololol

I only watched this to make myself feel better...

I don't have 5 of these. I don't choose just intelligence. I stay balance, nor do i have anxiety or have a problem being social. I will keep a balance. Though I do stay bizzy. Over all close but most people even intelligent are different in their own way.

We not stupid we just have problems

A high degree of intelligence does not always correlate with academic achievement and envious level of success in life. When young, I was thought to have "problems" because I was out of step with everybody else. I hated school because I was forced to attend, so I consequently flunked out of high school and could not attend college. I've been misunderstood for all of my life, because I'm an intelligent person who is forced to live in a world where I don't belong

But watch out for the Dunning-Kruger effect...

Based on these, I'm a f'n genius hitting 320 on the IQ scale! 🤣

I have poor communication for reasons,because it’s like people are dumb,and they can’t do the simplest things.

My Brain: The possibilities are unlimited. Me: Just get it done!

Number 10 for me is like playing around with Darth Mauls dubba trubba light saber without a force connection.

I try to explain why I look at things the way I do, but even doing that drives people nuts. So, I can't win. I just need to accept that most people don't care to understand what I am saying...lol

I do not think im smart. Im often under the impression that everyone is as smart or smarter then I am.. Even when people tell me I am smart I feel they only think this because I know a lot about one thing (Or so I think)/ Yet they know more then me about other things. I often over think over thinking and this stresses me out. Some of my friends only talk to me when they need help with the things im good at, but zone out when I try to teach them =/ I sometimes get frustrated when someone tells me they know something just to have it be not true, resulting in something failing. If your not sure then say your not sure. I think "Smart" Is just a tittle you get from people who know less then you in one subject or another.

In fact, with much wisdom comes much frustration. The more knowledge, the more pain! (Ecclesiastes 1:18)

I feel like I just fell through the looking glass 🔎

Facts

There is a difference betweeen USABLE intelligence( included social skills) and intelectual intelligence(poor or absent social skillls) eg Asperger? Average WITH social skills is NETT best option.

That is exactly me.. However now I'm trying to controle some.of those behaviors. Because of how I am I lost the love of my life

As someone legitimately tested by a doctor at the limit of the IQ test I took and knowing everyone is different, these all basically apply to me. 9 and 15 are exceptions. I am quick to dispose of unlikely options and I am very good at predicting people. Here is a general prediction about people, at least here in the USA: we will be a full on autocracy by 2018 with no real elections.

Ok. So also, tell us how to overcome these issues

There's difference b/w being intelligent and being smart. Moverover, being Educational smart. And Life smart

Your greatest strength is when you don't show it.

3 of 3 so far... 😀

Hey TopThink love your channel, please be aware that there are many types of intelligence. IQ only evaluate one type of intelligence which is spatial and logical, countries with mandatory schooling give individuals the tools to have better IQ grades whereas other countries who don't have the same opportunities has less, however when those individuals are brought into countries with those schooling system in place, their score is the same as any others of those kids. Happiness in life is not about IQ, but about *EQ (Emotional intelligence)* where you build bonds with others.

Smart people know they're smart because they recognize stupidity.

They say ignorance is bliss, and it is. Intellectual purgatory is when a person is too smart to not know something and yet too dumb to know how to fix it.

Lessssss goooooo🔥

Because of this video, I might actually believe that I am a smart person. 😄
