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? 🤔

How you deal with it? Accept that it is like this?

I know my intentions are kind/pure - that I am a good person. I subsequently embrace my individuality and quirks instead of looking to conform out of convenience.

I meditate daily, and practice mindfulness, make sure I’m not distracted when interacting with others… subsequently, I have found it easier to communicate with those who are ready to receive the message.

What I’ve found, most people, plainly, are self absorbed and don’t want to discuss anything that challenges their sense of understanding of the universe. They don’t like being told that everything they thought they knew was wrong (in some instances, or a lie (I’m other situations)
