Do you think that being too intelligent can be a curse too?
Been debating about this thought in my mind lol

Absolutely! I’ve read that very intelligent people tend to struggle with the kinds of things mankind has been doing for thousands of years, among them finding a mate. I happen to know that I’m very intelligent, and I’m 32 and never had a girlfriend before. I’ve also heard that there’s a strong connection between intelligence and procrastination, because it leads one to question the usefulness of taking action, and I definitely relate to that too. I do most things in life more slowly than average people, some of them much more slowly. In school I always struggled to turn in assignments on time, and I’m often late for appointments and work and things. You might say I’m [i]cripplingly[/i] intelligent.

@JP1119 :0 that suddenly made a lot of sense.
I won’t claim to be on that same level, but I do often question the added value (if there is any to start with) for certain actions. I procrastinate things I find pointless or refuse to do them if I can.
I have issues with certain procedures people put up that are supposed to proof what you are or aren’t capable of. There was also some kind of existential crisis I went through because at a certain point, everything just seemed pointless, still does to a certain extent.
