Anyone like me?

  1. Anyone feel like it's difficult to maintain interesting and genuine conversations with most other people? I would say there are about 15-20 people whom I feel an actual connection with. The rest I am just bullshitting and small talking. However, I seem to do so very well, as I am very well liked by a diverse range of people.
     
     
     
    Possible reasons I've thought of
    1) high intelligence (I am very, very smart and motivated. I hope that didn't sound conceited.)
    2) tough past events I've been through made me distant (A LOT, and not pussy shit. I'm only 19 too. )
    3) genetics, bruh.
     
    Any thoughts or similar experiences?
     
    BTW I smoke almost every day and swear it has not at all affected my intelligence and motivation (I have excelled in life... a lot.) Won't get into details. Hope that didn't sound conceited either..................... My main point is to keep toking.

     
  2. Showing positivity in maintaining your cannabis intake and daily life simultaneously is not a point of vanity, it is a welcomed notion to the world; but I digress.
     
    I feel that I share the same issues as you do, but I am a diagnosed Bipolar-case. used to be manic depressant. now it's more under control.
     
    Don't get me wrong, I work with thousands of people every day, making pleasant conversation and smiling.. I also have friends / family / loved ones out there... but it's really hard for me to just go out or meet new people because they're all into pop-culture and I'm just over here like "oh hey did you see neil degrasse tyson on the news last night?" lol.
     
    I prefer outdoor activities in the woods, but i currently reside in the city and it is very frustrating! I plan to move back up north soon I hope..
     
  3. Conceited? On the internet?

  4. yes op. I am exactly like you. And I realized something


    your problem isn't that you are smart or have a bad background.

    Your problem is selfishness. You literally don't care what others have to say, unless they are saying something that interests you (which you admired in your op.without realizing it)

    Just open up and realize its not always about you

    I remember this one time, my.neighbor was talking to me, and I zoned out. I didn't give a fuck what she was saying. Then I snapped in while she said something like "I woke up and he was cold and blue." She was telling me her husband just died and I zoned out like a dick.

    This is why women like "good listeners". Most men tune out their women. Those who have self control and follow along are rewarded with sex and clean dishes.

    Just open up. You can talk about black hole physics later to you smart friends. In the meantime feel free to tell your other friend why they shouldn't watch doctor oz

  5. Not a dig but this quote rings true... The fool thinks himself to be a wise man, the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
     
  6. You say you're intelligent, well liked, and productive.  What's that got to do with your problem of not listening when someone is talking?  Yuri is right, you're too into yourself.
     
    I used to consider myself intelligent and well liked.  Then I found GC. 
     
  7. No, sounds like typical 19 year old teenage shit.
     
  8. Who cares if people like you, they suck anyway
     
  9. Oh wow... I thought the same thing.

    One post in and I realized how smart some of these members are. They'll force you to remain objective and logical; or else you'll be subject to the wrath of GC.
     
  10. Says the stoner posting his shit on GC lol.
     
     Hey man, c'mere. Gimmie a hug. No really, gimmie a hug. Don't be afraid mr. intelligence. Hug me. Thats right. Now squeeze tighter. Oh yeah, thats it. Now here is the part where we both break down and start crying in each other's arms.
     
    I love you man.
