Answer 1

Granted, there are some very dumb people in the world, but you, my friend, sound very arrogant.  Maybe, someday you will discover you weren't so smart at all.

Answer 2

You are gifted and that's wonderful.  But, you're not perfect.  You have flaws that probably annoy the h**l out of a lot of people too.

I have a few friends that have high IQ's that are absolute idiots when it comes to social graces and common sense.  

Live and let live Mr. Genius.  

  

Answer 3

It's not the IQ.  Some people are just a combination of stupidity, rudeness, and a lack of common sense.  What's interesting is you have people who just don't get it and think other people are stupid for doing what they do.  

Want to see how bad it really gets?  Work in retail for at least a year.    I remember an incident where I tried to explain to a 50-something year old woman what her debit card was for and how it worked.  She preferred to just stand there marveling at the card her daughter help her get from the bank.  I honestly believe, to this day, that if that woman stopped to actually THINK about what I was telling her, she'd know what the debit card did.  My grandmother in her 70's knows what a freakin' debit card does!

I'm in my late 20's and have an IQ of 130.  I was the quiet, smart, mature girl in high school.  I'm still seeing stupid people everywhere, young and old.

Answer 4

My experience has been the exact opposite. Almost everyone I've met--and I've met dozens, or even hundreds--known as having a high I.Q. or possessing "high" credentials such as PhD's or other advanced degrees, have I've noticed, viewed the world with respect. They view each person being unique, perhaps looking for the "good" in all people. I can't recall a single one reaching such condescending heights as to view those, who in anyone's opinion, are "dumb" and be frustrated about it.

I'm not sure why I've observed this. Circle of friends? Maybe I just didn't see the opposite going on either, I don't know.

Answer 5

You've heard the expression "too smart for their own good". Some folks with high IQs simply think TOO much. You seem to be well on your way to being one of those people. It WILL make you a bit crazy.

Find friends that are on your level and try not to let the average folks bother you.

Answer 6

Actually I have dogs smarter than several people I know :)

Answer 7

I think personally your very smart and that's great and you have your OWN way of thinking. Other people who may not be as intelligent obviously think differently, and you may not agree with their point or oppinions. I don't think youtr going crazy! I just think you need to chill a little and realize not everyone shares the same views as you, and if an adult is very immature then that ISN'T exactly good, but there's nothing you can really do. .... BUT if there is ever a conversation about certain oppinions, you should definitely share your own and maybe people will kind of begin to agree with you.

Good Luck!
