8 Struggles of Being a Highly Intelligent Person

Описание: #intelligentpeople #iq #struggles
Are you highly intelligent… but constantly misunderstood?

In this video, we explore the hidden struggles only highly intelligent people truly understand — from overthinking and social awkwardness to feeling pressured to succeed and struggling with small talk.

Intelligence isn’t just about IQ. It’s about deep thinking, analysis, curiosity, and seeing connections others miss. But with great intelligence often comes great expectation — and unexpected challenges.

If you’ve ever felt:
• Bored by small talk
• Overly analytical
• Socially out of place
• Pressured to constantly prove yourself
• Lonely despite being capable

This video is for you.

We break down the psychology behind high intelligence, including concepts like paralysis by analysis, IQ vs EQ, social trade-offs, and perfectionism.
