It sucks when there's no way to stop it. I have OCPD, maybe I'm on some other scales. It's a miracle I have no other addictions than a PC (one wouldn't guess meeting me) but I need it to calm my brain - OR get stimulation that would otherwise make me restless.
My dad and I both talk to ourselves all the time, and if anyone asks why he's talking to himself his response is always, "I needed an expert opinion" lol
My science teacher in HS always made it clear to only trust professionals, not experts. I think it's somewhat true. But most people don't think about it. Funny story. 👍
"You occasionally procrastinate" oh! "there is a difference between procrastinating to avoid working and procrastinating to come up with better ideas" oh. Edit: wow thanks for the likes that’s a lotta likes :D
Can confirm that #1 is accurate- at least for problem solving. There's a technique in programming where you take an inanimate object (traditionally, a rubber duck,) and talk to it about your code. Essentially, you walk yourself through the code's intended effect, and it helps you find the error.
Yeah it often works or trying to solve basically any problem. Walking someone, even yourself, through how something should work often will make you catch the difference between your explanation and what you actually did. It helps find where a problem lies.

@@mooncookies7803 math isnt your talent. Not the same as intelligence. IQ only tests for logic and reasoning skills. Those are NOT the ONLY forms of intelligence
Well obviously its a channel that makes videos on human psychological topics after all so they prolly know wht ppls would like to watch n it's a good thing tho
This entire channel is a feel good trip. I have every fucking god damn "sign" in this video yet I am perfectly average. Fix what's broken, improve what needs to be improved, don't let channels like these keep you flawed 💪
Psych2go: talking to yourself may be a sign of higher intelligence Me, having an entire debate about feminism with the shampoo bottle in the shower: I N T E R E S T I N G
I don't know if this originates from Bill Gates. I heard this all my life in the South from older folks in regard to asking a lazy person to find a creative means to reduce the effort required in manual labor.
Yepp probably is,I don't really watch this types of video's normally cuz instead giving me confidence I feel even more bad about myself but here I am lol.
Even though I know I am just an average Joe, seeing myself having most of the signs is such a good confidence boost and makes me feel a lot happier with myself. Thank you Psych2Go! I appreciate all your efforts you've put into each video.
Yes. I can relate to that. I have characters that do different tasks and I discuss stuff with them. (not like DID though) I sometimes feel like I'm going crazy But who cares am I right?
@@onedollasnake SAME I come up with stuff all the time like I make up fake arguments or even think about debates from over 5 years ago and how I could've won them 😂
When Psych2go said: “#1, you talk to yourself” I was really happy, because people have told me that I was crazy, and it wasn’t normal to talk to myself out loud. Talking to myself is a daily thing for me. I love talking to myself like I'm trying to educate someone else.
I didn't really know if I'm smarter than I think I am, this video helped. I have ADHD, so I process things slower than most people. But once those things make sense, I'm really good at them. It's easy for me to get my slow processing mixed up with just being dumb, and then doubting myself because of that.
I feel like ADHD is part disorder and part personality trait. It lets you stray from the others and let you discover new things and notice stuff most wouldn’t. It keeps you entertained because you can’t focus on boring things. Everyone is made for different things and tasks, ADHD people just weren’t made to DO things like regular chores, they’re more of the “go look for stuff” or people.
Here's the thing. I grew up in all the gifted education courses, and the honors stuff, and everyone was just so busy telling me how smart I was all through school. It, naturally, led to an over-inflated ego, an emphasis on my intellect at perhaps the overlooking or even detriment of other skills, and generally meant that I gave up quickly on anything that I didn't pick up naturally since I was supposed to be just so darn smart. As an adult, I'm realizing that they were measuring a very specific brand of intelligence, one that learns a very specific way and performs well in a testing type environment. The older I get the more I realize I'm just pretty average, like most everyone else, and there's really nothing wrong with that. I'm never the smartest guy in the room, and there's always someone I can learn from. So by all means, be average, be normal, and take pride in that fact. As it is, being a little bit dumb is more fun anyway, I speak from personal experience.
I agree. I have massive ADHD, which means theres a lack of bloodflow in my left prefrontal cortex. This puts an impairment on executive function. However that bloodflow is redirected somewhere else in the brain, enlarging other areas depending on the person. I dont know exactly where mine went, but I can say that I constantly have an intense curiosity. Most of my day im just daydreaming with myself or looking things up because the reality in my head is so much more enjoyable. However, ADHD is a tradeoff. I can say for certain that my active memory is impaired, and so is my general recall ability. I also have a hard time reacting. What im best at is stuff like producing theories, designing AI and debate. But my work ethic and self organisation skills are complete ass. When I play multiplayer action games my impairment becomes a complete pain, but even so its still so fun. I enjoy the challenge of facing players with higher reaction speed and visual awareness. I love it because then I can improve those areas of the brain by facing them. If I didnt have ADHD, my brain would probably be super average. Average in the sense, just as impressive as everyone elses unique intellect. However, constantly living with both really bad and really good intellect is suffering. You constantly judge yourself and are painfully aware of just how bad you made an intellectual mistake as soon as you made it, and your curiosity drives you to instantly see much better alternatives to the action taken. Thats another reason I constantly try to improve my executive function.
I was from too far below the poverty line to have anyone looking to put me in these groups. My intelligence ans speed of learning was more of a hindrence and made the teachers impatient at me taking time away form the mainstream. There are 7 recognised learning styles, mine is audio visual, fast absorbtion low retention. So in class I can look like a genius because I have taken on the didactically taught data with minimal effort. No-one cares that I have to work harder outside class to make sure that knowledge stays there and because I have always been a total nerd I never minded reviewing it either. Being a skinny little nerd in these schools introduced me to a lifetime of being unpopular too, something I hated then but have come to enjoy now. Then it came with bruises, now it's fine I don't like most people and they don't like me, that's a fair deal. I dropped out of life and ended up doing manual work in early adult life, something I am not naturally equipped for and where I do remember carrying bags of sand and cement at 50kg each when I weighed roughly the same. An introduction to having to make myself good at something I wasn't naturally equipped for. I can honestly say I am not a drop out as such, I never started any academic course that I didn't complete, I just never returned to education after the mandatory level until much later. Irony time. I ended up working in adult education, and was actually rathe rgood at is, which surprised me and a number of others when they learned how easy I had found school. I knew I had a learning style that fitted this well and that all those with the other 6 didn't fit, so realised that I needed to fill a gap left by our education system to help those not like me. My fast mind helped a lot and I adapted the teaching to the individuals by identifying how they learned best. I also realised something during this time I would never have realised myself, emotion helps learning, having the emotional range of a rock, I had rarely ever used this but for real human beings it was a great tool. The instance I remember this most in was helping someone with a desktop publishing exam, which they had failed 3 times with other tutors. They could work through the lessons but not adstract from the course notes to a seperate piece of work. I knew they needed to do something seperate but use the methods in the course, so asked what they enjoyed, response was their cat, not what I had hoped for but I worked with it as there was a happy emotional link here. I told her to write a letter to her cat telling it what it would have for dinner, with a picture of a cat in one space and a picture of a fish in another. When I came back to check on them the letter was written but the pictures were wrong, internet access not as common back then so only working from in built library, in place of the cat was a rabbit and the only fish they could find was a shark, my reaction was 'So you have the world's only shark eating rabbit.' but they had done the work perfectly and flew through the exam. When thanking me after they passed easily she said the whole way through she was laughing to herself about the shark eating rabbit. I actually stopped this area of work fo 2 reasons, 1, I wanted to disprove the those who can do, those who can't teach by actually working in IT not just teaching it but the second was the UK goverment had decided to intervene and introduce content based assessments, similar to teaching in schools and in direct contrast to what I was doing. It meant I could teach a full curriculum, have my students learn nothing, all fail their exams while I passed assessment. If I slowed the teaching down by adapting to the individuals and everyone passed their exams, I had over 96% first time pass and 100% second time record, this would fail the assessment. I refused to make this change and went into IT and data outside education, fully intending that if the UK govt. woke up I woul return. They have but I now enjoy what I do too much to go back. I understand the desire to stay in your comfort zone, I have no doubt I was the same as a child. Ironically I stepped outside it during early adulthood so long ago I genuinely can't remember a time when I didn't enjoy the challenge of pushing my boundaries. This is not a boast, I have messed up in some hilarious, painful and permanently damaging ways by not staying close enough to my comfort zones, but overall I think it has served me well. I don't honestly know where I would sit in terms of average intelligence because I recognise so may types of it. My job is creative and I did dance for several years, but I could never produce an art work of any significance or play music that didnt test tolerance to aural abuse. These are areas of intelligence I don't have and have no desire to aquire. I am socially inept and emotionally limited. I have an act I wear to be able to function in society that includes genuine consideration and understanding. However I lack true empathy because that requries an emotional breadth I simply don't have. So social interactions and the intelligence needed to make these more than just a formality, well beyond me. I analyse incredibly well, it has helped me overcome the shortcoming above to the point many miss that I even have it. I process facts and figures then delve into the reasons behind them to understand causality etc. I do this to such an effective level I have made it my liveing and the way I make myself ever more unpopular. I understand how rarely the term unpredictable is actually true and have little patience for people who can't predict what is coming using data at hand,. A colleague of mine said he had found the answer to the often asked question regarding the difference between genius and insanity. He said genius is insanity society has found a use for. In this respect I am a genius, I do something others find incredibly difficult with ease, but I am aware outside of this I can appear very dumb. Thank you for a great comment. Mny with early life handed to them who find it's tougher later on are to full of self pity to own it as well as you have and move forward in such a productive way. As with all who seek to improve themselves you have my respect.
@@KermitFrogThe i didn't know what the method was called, but I naturally have a growth mindset like that where I see each mistake as a chance to rewire my brain. Problem is im impatient, and when that happens I become alot less forgiving to myself.
The most intelligent people learn from anyone and everyone. I love listening to other people because I can always learn something. Most people who are extremely intelligent don’t think they are. They may believe they are smart, but not smarter than most others.

1. I talk to myself a lot. 2. I have been called lazy by just about everybody. 3. I am a night owl. 4. I love music. I would like to play an instrument at least once in my life but if that happens, I want to do it like a professional. Maybe a piano would be a good thing to begin with or a guitar. 5. I am an extreme-level procrastinator. I just don't feel like doing anything. I mean tension is not something that can live in my brain, that sort of thing will have to pay some rent. 6. And yes I am insecure about myself, despite it all. Like I just really feel like I'm good at nothing. I feel awkward most of the time. I kinda feel stupid. But this video helped me gain confidence. Thank you ❤

**talking to myself** “ why’re you talking to yourself? that’s strange and weird “ “ really, it’s the only way to have intelligent conversation around here “
Sign 1: Yes, I talk to myself a lot Sign 2: Yes, only my friends called me lazy. Sign 3: Yes, i play games or just think of something to do at night. Sign 4: Yes, i like singing and drawing. Sign 5: Not sure if i procastinated before but il say no. Sign 6. Yep i clicked on this video cause i underestimate myself alot.
Not to be rude but just cuz u got all these doesn’t always mean ur smart 95% of ppl in the comments say they got all signs but not all of them r smart cuz that’s not how things work.
Yeap. Including, as an example, when something causes me to remember how many character crushes I've had have ended up in relationships with people the opposite gender identity to myself. Mostly trying to reassure myself that I am loved and appreciated.
Learning how to give oneself credit for one's achievements is also difficult. Imposter syndrome sucks, but being artistically inclined helps. I'm taking up salsa dancing, getting into drawing, and trying out new mediums. Indecisiveness is another one (and ties into overthinking) , so creating art helps since I'm given so many color options, and deciding on the next color allows me to let myself push forward.
I am a depressed person with severe drpression. The thumbnail is too cute to be ignored, so i commented and one another reason is that i want to meet people like me. Love you all guys we will beat depression ❤️
I really hope that you get happier and overcome depression. Its not easy as it sounds ik but I wish you all the best for that. Stay safe and have a nice day
I'm really not a night owl, but I can relate to all the rest. Still not sure tho, after the quarantine, I started to feel dumber each day and I can't even do basic maths correctly anymore.
@@pastorpeteonthestreet3112 True, but people have to do the research first if they are seeking answers to life's biggest questions. Not enough people actually study religion, but instead stigmatize it and never learn anything significant.
Ha ha, I was going to post something like that as a joke but you beat me to it. It would have been pretty funny if there were a twist at the end, like "Just kidding, none of these are indicators of intelligence. Boy were you ever excited though, huh?
Talking to myself is my way of making better decision and making myself self aware. Here are things that change since i started doing this •I started being self aware •longer temper •its not frustrating since i don't have to argue with anyone •I avoid justifying myself even though I'm wrong(this one really help) •i understand people better Ever had a feeling when everyone just can't understand? Well that's your fault, you never tell them anyway So stop being stupid justifying yourself that they don't understand you
Fun fact: most "great people" in world's history (and I mean people like Da Vinci, Mozart, and that kind) didn't have a crazy high IQ, it was usually slightly above average. And when you see Michel Angelo's work, it looks like some superior species of human, but in fact, most people with IQs around 300 or so, something twice as high as Einstein, don't leave a track in the world, they often die early having learned a lot of languages and resolved a lot of mathematic misteries, but that's it, and they're not remembered after that, so that makes you think. What is intelligence?
@@Roncstelep_ but a man that dies at 20, and has no social ability whatsoever, so that he doesn't meet any friends or a girlfriend, can't create art in any way, or form a philosophical thinking. Is that intelligent really?
Chronic Social deprivation harms cognitive ability. Feeling lonely makes you dumb and shortens your life. Keyword: "feeling lonely" You can be lonely without feeling lonely. Your brain would be healthier if you socialized though.
I feel smart for once. I can relate to all of these. Especially the artistically inclined part. I'm constantly called dumb, etc. And videos like these are a huge confidence boost.
@Creahmsicle Dude, all the people around me called me dumb, retarded and destroyed and stuff like that, i can totally relate to you. What I found out is, that while I may not be a high IQ genius, I still know that my intelligence is higher than I ever thought, and that idea doesnt have its origin in this video. Its just that believing what others say to you might rob you of your energy and motivation and drive you into a deep grief. Believe me I was there. You know, at my university, I found a professor who is as dumb as me and still teaches complicated things like Kant. So for the first time, I believe that I and probably you as well, might not as dumb as 75IQ points, which already implies some level of cognitive disability. The "dumbest" Professor at universities have about 90IQ which is still in the average and can make you smart with practice. I feel you brother
I tend to talk to myself when I'm working a lot but I get in trouble in school for talking out loud so I learned how to talk to myself inside my head to be able to do my work as efficiently as possible
Me: *watches this* oh hey, maybe I AM smart! Also me: *low-key failing all my classes and can't absorb new lessons* Edit: Yes, I know that grades and the amount of information you know are not measures of intelligence. My problems run deeper than that, but I'm not gonna discuss that here lmao Thank you for the kind words though
I hate online school so much. I haven't learned half of what I should know tbh, I've failed a class, and gotten very low grades on a lot of classes and I just finished my first year of college
If you truly don't believe you are smart or at least not smart enough, then your experiences in life will reflect that regardless of how smart you really are. You will behave in ways that reinforce that belief, the results of which will also reinforce that belief, and so on. Once I started to put diligent effort into rehabilitating my self image and truly changing the way I saw myself and my cognitive potential, everything changed. The goal is not to believe you are smart, the goal is to no longer care how smart you are because you believe in yourself and your ability to accomplish whatever it is that is truly important to you. Believe in yourself and learn to be happy being you.
I was told the same thing by a friend once, ironically, after I had reflected on my life for awhile, i said ‘maybe im just not a very intelligent person’ and he said that someone as introspective as myself has to be smarter than most people in at least a good amount of ways. Which definitely made me understand my kind of intelligence more. Maybe im not the smartest as puzzles and stuff but i have my own kind of intelligence
@@logancampbell3065 The Dunning-Kruger effect dictates that "maybe I'm just not a very intelligent person" is the number one sign of being an intelligent person

I've been talking to myself out loud for as long as I can remember. I somehow managed to keep it a secret from everyone else though. I'm afraid they'll think I'm crazy :)))
I'm an INFP and it may explain my hyper-reflectiveness. I find myself engaging in various ideas in my mind constantly. But I'm able to still remain present. Anyone else relate?
I do! I'm also an INFP and I think all the time, about many subjects that exist, and I'm always creating possibilities in my mind, wich is... over-thinking (lol), but most of the time I can remain present in the moment. that's wreid
So you’re trying to say after I watch this video and realised I showed all the traits you mentioned, now you are revealing that we should be happy with ourselves and make us the opposite of ourselves. Thanks for the video though, I felt good knowing I showed these traits.
Another one is analogies.... not so much that you use them, but that you're more likely to find parallels or similarities between different things; especially when understanding of one system gives you an advantage in navigating a different, though similar, situation.
My brother is able to find parallels and similarities between anything. Its actually one of the most amazing skills ive ever seen. His story telling and his wit are on a different level for it
Genuinely for me all of these are true. Car rides are good times for me to think about weird ideas or honestly just sleep! I can very well underestimate myself and procrastinate to get the work done better not rushing myself. Honestly I used to talk to myself all the time but worked myself out of it on purpose because I thought people would think I was weird😂. Overall I get great grades and very happy with my work 😊😊
Been watching these videos a while and just love how they are produced. Not only is it informative but the visuals and narrations make it very welcoming and personal, it's less like a Ted talk and more like a counselling session. Really helps!
Eh, don't worry. I just recently failed my exams that allow me to get a free enrollment. Next year's tuition costs nearly 2000 bucks, and we're a poor family, wielding around 10 to 15 bucks in the family budget. Everyone calls me super capable, idk why, maybe they see it, but they're confused because I got 3 Fs and 3 Cs. It's a very long, long story.
I relate to all of these, which makes sense because I've always been considered a "gifted kid". I do want to say though, to those of you who wish you were gifted because being naturally smart is easier, it's not. A lot of us gifted people have a lot of stress from both ourselves and others, along with higher expectations of what we're going to do with our lives. Many of us are expected to be perfect or close to all the time. If you're a fellow gifted in this situation, don't worry. You can and will get through this. Remember to stay true to yourself and keep doing your best, but make sure you don't overdo it. If you're not a gifted or considered a gifted, I bet you're still amazing and smart in your own way. Keep being awesome everyone!
This is very relatable to me, all my life people said I was "gifted" and it puts so much presser on you that has given me a lot of anxiety over the years. Especially with teachers saying I'm lazy because I don't pay much attention in class because talking is my way of learning. Most of the time teachers say that people are gifted they ignore the sheer pressure they put on kids making them think they need to, or have to be better. I don't know if this relates to anyone but if your supposedly "smart" some people can ignore when you actually work hard and it makes you feel bad to have a lable as just smart not hard working.
I related to this more than i should. you put my thoughts into words quite beutifully, love it as someone who has been considered one of the toppper,s the pressure is sure one real thing. my classmates think i study a lot but i don't really study. the pressure from every side kind of gets overwhelming sometimes and i end up procastinating. like im doing now (:
I am the smartest dumb person and the dumbest smart person with my “gift”, basically I will do the complex stuff real well and then make stupid simple mistakes like forgetting to add this or explain that
there are different kinds of people 1. acting smart 2.doesn't show they are actually smart 3.shows that they are actually smart 4. dumb 5.hungry 6. people who use uwu without actually knowing the meaning of it 7.people who watch asmr videos without knowing what asmr means (im num 5 btw)
Are they really people though? I always thought of them as sub-human. (Not seriously, but I'm autistic and that's how they see me ,so I'm returning the favor.) They definitely don't present any type of sentient intelligence similar to the human population.
@@gothic_insanity.1383 you have a good point I've always had a suspicion that they might actually be under-evolved pseudo-humans And they heard about laws and rules and all these things that normal humans know about and didn't realize that no one is constantly talking about them.

Just realized I am smart! I used to think i was Dumb since people called me Lazy and Noisy Since i talk to myself too much, But half of these In the Video describe me, Thanks for making me more Confident!
The annoying thing with "intelligence" is that different people have different types. Like yes, I do get high scores in tests and intelligence tests, but for example I couldn't think in action to save my own life. And I hate that I have a lot of friends with different learning styles, or dyslexia, and I always feel bad when I get high test scores, even though in world knowledge they're probably smarter than I am. Also, my "high intelligence" comes from doing extra school work at home to keep some Polish culture, so it really is practice.
Yes, I realized. Intelligence depends. I never practised or studied, but I always was getting high scores. People always told me that I was smart. I got high scores from an IQ test. But there was something missing. I was smart but it wasn’t the best. I started to practise a bit, and I increased the difficulity as the time goes by. I felt like everything was getting perfect, it did.
Dude this was like looking in a miror evan though i have adhd i traw military vehicles in my spare time i procrastinate and thinck im stupid half the time, wow thanks for this i feel cared for and jenuanly better about myself, thanks so much.
People have thought I was lazy when productivity studies showed I was actually doing more work than them. They didn't notice, because they were busy gossiping amongst themselves and making fun of people. Americans tend to promote popular people over competent people. It's probably why we're lagging behind. The biggest symptom I would say is the constant fear that you are one of the smartest people and the horror of realizing how many dumb people there actually are (it's more than you think . . .realized this in 2016).
These seem like things most people do occasionally, which makes people feel that they are superior to others when they actually aren’t. I relate to 5/6 of these but I’m extremely dumb lol
i can’t help but click on videos like these, to find out if this can make me feel better about myself. makes me feel like the dunning-kruger effect is coming for me again 😭
