I have a lot of friends around who seems to be have a higher IQ than  avarage people. But generally, including me, they find a lot of things  to be sad. They are generally introverted and tend to be unhappy.  Although they are successful at a lot of things like money, career,  spouse…
A search about how intelligent people tend to be unhappy, enlightened me a lot. They say;
Children develop along four streams: intellectual, physical, emotional  (psychological) and social. In classrooms, the smartest kids tend to be  left out of more activities by other children than they are included in.  They are “odd,” they are the geeks, they are social outsiders. In other  words, they do not develop socially as well as they may develop  intellectually or even physically where opportunities may exist for more  progress.
Their emotional development, characterized by their ability to cope  with risky or stressful situations, especially over long periods of  time, also lags behind that of the average person.
Adults tend to believe that intelligent kids can deal with anything  because they are intellectually superior. This inevitably includes  situations where the intelligent kids have neither knowledge nor skills  to support their experience. They go through the tough times alone.  Adults don’t understand that they need help and other kids don’t want to  associate with kids the social leaders say are outsiders.
It seems very logical to me. And this can explain why those friends of  mine are so unhappy. So what about you, Are you unhappy and intelligent?
