    LOL. Really? You should ask people how they cope with you. IQ is nigh meaningless. The idea that other people don’t understand you because you’re smarter than them is ridiculous. People don’t understand you because of lots of reasons, but intelligence is usually not one of them. Intelligence generally makes it easier for others to understand you, because you can solve the problem of communicating better.

    The idea that being intelligent makes your way of life unintelligible to people who are not as smart as you is even more absurd.

      It’s common to have high IQ and low EQ (emotional intelligence). This is why the people with high iq sometimes can be a bit elitist, because they don’t recognize their failures in other areas.

      I think what we are missing in people is kindness more than anything. I don’t care how smart someone is but if they are kind it’s incredibly attractive.

      A well rounded person has a bit of everything.

        Low EQ doesn’t make you unintelligible or inscrutable low EQ makes you an asshole. Low EQ makes you believe things like the reason people don’t understand me is because I’m so intelligent

          Yep I know. Im not saying the OP is like that, but just in general, it’s common.
