I Need to Be Intellectually Stimulated

I just need it. For everything. In today's mundane futile societies it's so rare to have decent intelligent and profound connections and conversations.
Specially to create a relationship worth having and to create deep and interesting bonds that last more than a few hours or minutes. I've no trouble attracting and being with people surrounded by many friends but I feel those connections are not really worth having.
Sure I have and I'm capable of having relationships with other people but they just don't last and don't make much sense and they aren't satisfactory. But due to the lack of stimulation and wanting to be with someone I often let that happen. But it's rarely a good idea and I often get bored really fast.
For me to have any real interest in someone I need to be intellectually stimulated specially with someone as intelligent as me. Or at least with someone that has a real interest in learning.
Does anyone else feel like this?

To be. .....

True success is being with the mundane. ...

The mundane is 99% of life, now that takes wisdom. .....

The difference with intelligence and wisdom?

The Huge EGO. .....

Many place themselves into a box, some call this box A PhD, yet they lock themselves in this box,just like a pigeon in a pigeon hole locked in one way of thinking.

The GOLD is mind silence, to be with it all as it is....

As humans we perceive, yet this perception is through their our EGO, it clouds and judges. ..

TO BE.

So do you truly BE?

Or judge with your EGO and label you as intelligent over the mundane rest? ????

Sure, lots of people do I bet. But it's never a reason to be rude and think you're "above" the rest of society. 🚪💥🚶🏻 It's never nice to slam the door in someones face just because you've misunderstood them.

@SW-User no. it's not. I get bored of them really fast sometimes because they just don't understand it. you don't know how it's like to feel alone while being surrounded by people that think that everything is ok
SW-User
Who said everything is ok,but when its not ok i know how to deal with it, I think every one here felt alone sometimes , me too . But the matter is how to heal this feeling .

I do... and it's become a struggle. "Mainstream" people seem to want to marginalize me for being a fan of learning rather than drooling over the latest trends. Even at the gym where I read (a book - old school style) while on the treadmill, I'm known as that dude who is always reading even though that's just 15 minutes of my total workout. Additionally, it's just impossible to find satisfying sustainable relationships - although I do have a touch of social anxiety, so I'm not trying to blame this necessarily on others. I'm sure I'm not the easiest person to get to know. I guess I come across as unapproachable. In any case, yeah, I can relate to your scenario...
SoFine · 46-50, F
@MarkPaul Mark - your first true relationship is how you be in you.
The one to complete and validate you - is you. Then when you are comfortable in you, so to will others. Those that are at home in their being, don't notice "Mainstream".....

I do read allot like you, the most inspiration, is from Bio/autographicks. ...such as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela. ..I just purchased Nick Vujicic (born with no limbs). we all have challenges, we all get pushed, we live to either win or complain.

Get to love you first, get to know your insecurities, then know that a future mate, will trigger them, then you can work on them together. We are all full of fear, then find ways to be with the fear, your mind will dwell there on them or not. That is why meditation helps to watch the thoughts then to stop the inner talk that drives you to withdraw and keep you separate.

@SoFine This is good advice... but... well... I can't seem to get past my self-hatred. It's not that I am giving up or that I will stop trying, but... I can't get past it.

I have learned to practice the discipline of gratitude and I am thankful for what I have in context with me and in comparison with others. I am SO thankful. But, underlying it all, without fail, it is always there... self-perpetuating self-hatred.

Finally, I do acknowledge it is unreasonable and unrealistic to expect someone else to love me in a relationship when I can't find a deep enough pool of self-love to wade into. This continues to be my life's challenge...

It is for this reason that I have no friends other than a couple online people. I tend to get bored of everything they like doing and talking about unless they are interested in gaining knowledge. Sometimes I want to talk about programming theory or about handling technology and sometimes I have questions. I refuse to ever stop learning. The average person is content with never learning anything. I was in some college classes and asked some students who were failing to learn how they were going to succeed in their field. They plan to list their degree on their resume and hope for the best. I associated with them anyway, because I was making sure they passed with excellent grades and that helped me stay focused.

I know this is an oldie but I'm with you on this! It's a rare jewel to find good conversation or any communication these days!😕

No. I had enough. I am against meaningful conversations. Fed up.

I want to chill ☺
Angeleyez · 51-55, F
@RosaDawn lol 😂
At this point in my life I've become the type of antisocial introvert that can't stand anyone getting close or seeking attachment. I get bored and annoyed of people as well. They just want me to do what pleases them and I get tired of performing. People get on my nerves. I am a misanthrope.
[c=#666666]I feel like it's ironic, taken into consideration that you clearly ain't very smart yourself. 😆[/c]

People have become complacent with mediocrity. They have this overwhelming desire to be entertained than to enlighten themselves and expand their horizons. So you will confront those who are not fully or willingly in tune with their true selves. Because they are too busy trying to fit in rather than stand out. Intellectualism is what sets you apart from the norm.

You are a good man.
