I feel like my peers aren't intelligent enough to talk with?

Question

I like to share my opinions and such, and I am a thinker. I consider myself smarter than my peers, so I have trouble sharing my thoughts with my friends because they just don't understandd.

I rant about things like dreams, social psychologyy, government, etc.

I love debate. I love having deep conversations involving something other than the shoes The Jonas Brothers wear. I am 15, and I feel trapped, like I have no one to talk to. I love my friends to death, but the lot of them are just unsuited to talk to about anything intellectuall. Then I meet someone who I think might be a great person just to talk with, then it turns out they just nod and grin when ever I start a conversation.

What are some places I could share such thoughts with people who can actually understand what I mean?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

If they are less intelligent, they are not your peers.

Answer 4

Study and work hard and apply to a highly selective liberal arts college and you will find amazing friends there. If you live in NC, try to get accepted into the NC Governor's School program. I felt the same way until I went to GS and met intellectual teens like myself. It is worth the wait. Use your free time to study.

Answer 5

I am an 18 year old female and lately I kind of feel the same way. Not saying that I am smarter than any of my friends but I like to talk about things other than what we are doing tonight and I feel like I'm going on about nothing.
