Feeling different

I've always felt different from my family because of the advanced vocabulary I had as a child. Reading the encyclopedia at age 8 for fun. I want to study and read so much on both anthropology and philosophy. I feel like I have to dumb myself down just to feel normal. I read and wrote at a 9th grade level in 7th grade. I try to hide how smart I am by using more simple speech even tho I know smart words that most don't know the meaning of or how to speak with them. I wish I was able to fully be my true self and not hiding my 125 IQ

I would suggest to not take pride over your iq, as you are still relying on 2nd hand information of books written by someone in the past. Encyclopedia is for reference and not knowledge. Intellect is in how you interpret what you read as otherwise it contributes to blind beliefs .. Your iq can become your firewall preventing truth to reach you.
