This wasn't some sort of obligation for me, I simply liked to do this. BUT other kids wasn't very keen on than and, apparently ,they didn't like to see me being around so motivated; since they couldn't call me 'stupid' or something like that, they found other ways to destroy me. Even a girl who I consider to be my best friend once called me 'ugly and wierd'....soo yep, they did managed to destroy my self esteem, later on I started to feel insecure, unwanted, never preetty enough...And even now, when I'm 22, I still think I don't have courage enough to become so called 'normal'<br />So, one big advice for all gitfed people: choose your friends wisely and if you feel unhappy in company -just fuck it :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20843954.post-47857662829050123902016-01-09T12:58:29.184+01:002016-01-09T12:58:29.184+01:00Wow.

For some, joining an organisation like Mensa can help. For others, it is better to build friendships in other ways.<br /><br />Finding the right kind of people is often difficult, but it can be done. Rather than focusing on finding smart people, you may prefer locating people with common interests. That is the approach I took. I am interested in photography, so I started a photography network a year and a half ago. Today, we are about 250 people in the network, and among those I have found a couple of people who have become close friends. A few of us are working on starting a company together. If we are successful, that will certainly make it easier to build strong relationships at work.Kallokainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756733532883677794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20843954.post-31393768330377093642015-04-09T18:25:50.217+02:002015-04-09T18:25:50.217+02:00I am 32 my IQ is 138, I often get depressed for ma...I am 32 my IQ is 138, I often get depressed for many of the reasons you talked about. The absolute worst though is any time I tried to seek help from others about it, everyone would act like I was being smug or putting everyone else down if I so much as mentioned my intellect being any part of the problem. I learned to never mention my own intelligence ever, it is always greeted with hostility from people. GDnoreply@blogger.com
