Nostr Web Client

I have a question about friendship 🫂

Since i think #nostr is a place where a lot of intelligent people are right now, i think it’s the perfect place to ask this.

I have often heard about a phenomenon that intelligent people seem to have less friends or less social interaction. That is also what i can observe in my own life. I don’t want to say that i am more intelligent than other people, but i find that the things i want to talk about often do not resonate with others or they treat it much more on the surface than i do. So i really struggle to make deep connections. Most if not all of my few friendships are very superficial.

So my question is, do you experience similar things? 🤔

I have been measured around 140 IQ (not smart enough to be a genius, smart enough to live in near constant frustration)

It has been argued that gap in IQ makes meaningful conversations difficult. So, the more you find yourself on the ends of the distribution, the harder it would be to find someone to have meaningful conversations with.

My spatial intelligence is around 180, this bit drives me nuts sometimes and makes it very difficult for people to relate to what I have noticed spatially (conceptually) and creates a strong sense of isolation.

Another bit that drives me nuts is people thinking I am stupid because they couldn’t grasp what I was telling, in a social context where my “type” is a minority i quickly end up outcasted.

I feel that bro. 🫂💜

Why does it bother you so much what ppl think about you when they are not the ones you want/can have deeper connections anyway?

I have that feeling also sometimes, but then i think it isn’t worth it and i doesn’t care anyway what their impression of me might be 🤷🏻‍♂️

Because I crave the human connections my life has become almost totally deprived of. I just want to be part of the party… I am not.

Someone recommended to look for local Bitcoin meetups. Did you try that already?
