Intelligence can be a hindrance in everyday's life because it leads to overthinking and inadequate reaction to other people and threats.
Overthinking hinders one's ability to think clearly and act simply and quickly.
 
Fuck this thread is relatable. I am decently high IQ, and was much smarter in school before years of loneliness, health issues, and sleep deprivation damaged my brain. I have had terrible OCD that never left me alone for even a day since age 7, and I generally just overthink like crazy. Intelligence actually makes you less likely to ascend too it seems. Dumber people are not usually as high inhib and fit in better

I'd rather keep my intelligence. Being dumb and short isn't fun, you'll likely just drink yourself to death and let natural selection take you while you've been slaving away like a good goyim all your life.
 
I don't think anymore. Just rot

Brutal. I still prefer my intelligence too because I'm not a sheep that goes with the crown mindlessly, but man, many downsides to high IQ are brutal

Correct. It was a massive fucking W to have like 100 years ago. Not so much now.

The more you overthink, the less you will act.
Dumber people usually act without thinking too much about consequences.
This can be both a curse and a blessing.

High IQ people have a problem to fit in. So it's hard for them to socialise and to find a job.

Yep. I'm glad I tend to think things through more, but at the same time, it will fuck up any chance I might have with a woman. There was one time in my whole fucking life I think I might have had a shot with a woman, since she was talking in a sweet voice to me and being extra nice by making conversation, but I was too unsure and high inhib to ask for her number. This was a long time ago, and the opportunity has long since ended. Likely will never get another chance

Yep. I struggle so much to fit in because all I know how to talk about IRL is cars, my special interest. Other than that, I can't talk about anything with normies

What about experimental surgery? That's always a hit!

Being high inhib is a curse.

For real. Fucked up so much for me where I should have just went for it. By missing teen love and falling so far behind socially, it just creates a never ending cycle of high inhibness

IQ is cope. Women would always pick a dumb good looking man over a smart ugly man. IQ doesn't help you if you're an ugly subhuman.

For IQ to have a positive impact on your life, you need to be at least normie tier in looks.

There's this thing, truly high IQ people don't say they are high IQ. There was a friend of my school he was a genius but whenever I asked him what is IQ is used to always reply with must be average and I was the one boasting about my High iq but in the reality I am the low IQ one

Not necessarily. I never claimed to be a genius, because I certainly am not one, but I'm definitely above average. The fact I was in all honors classes and breezed through them until 11th grade proved that. (In 11th grade I developed severe chronic health issues that took years to resolve and get me feeling more normal). Also, I was in an 8th grade math class in 6th grade that only had around 8 other students out of over 400 in it. I always finished the tests faster than others and got good grades. They would often ask me how I did it. This isn't a brag, just telling how it was. Despite doing great academically, I failed miserably socially and had a nonexistent social life for the most part.
 
kek i used to tutor first year female students FOR FREE in uni thinking it would get me laid (they would repay me with SEX)

but i got cucked and scammed. this was actually one of my last desperate attempts at getting laid which eventually lead me to join this site and make this post, which was my first post on .is

Role of an intelligence and being smart is overrated when it comes to reaching a life's goals, unless someone's goal is purely scientific.
I know that you're joking, btw.

Life is brutal if you don't have a good physicality.

Thankfully I am low IQ
