I have IQ in 140’s. The answer is a definite yes.
Studies show the higher your IQ, the higher risks for mental illness, anxiety, and severe depression. Because you can objectively see yourself. Like the saying goes, “you require an immense amount of knowledge just to be able to see your own depth of ignorance.” This is probably going to be a long and involved answer, so please stick with me.
Your ego is a mask, a story that you tell yourself. But those with high IQ are more easily able to see through the mask, and without some sort of spirituality, there’s nothing underneath. When you see your ego is false, it’s like a mirror looking into a mirror. But the up side is that you can see how your subconscious is programmed and take control of the 95% subconscious actions that we all have.
But because you see right through your ego…you also see straight through everyone else’s! If you’re not careful to agree with the subconscious lies everyone tells themselves, you WILL DEEPLY offend everyone. No one wants to hear that their problems today are the result of their actions and words yesterday, even if it’s as clear as day. They just want to be told they’re unlucky and have no control. You must realize what others want to believe is their life, and it’s not up to you to tell them the truth if they don’t want to see it.
If your IQ is too high for those surrounding you, you WILL be seen as insane, and highly ignorant. Because others don’t understand you, they assume you must be insane. They assume since you tell them stuff against their beliefs that you’re the one who’s ignorant. And they WILL HATE THE HELL OUT OF YOU! Intelligence must be hidden as much as possible for the sanity of the person who holds it. If you’re not careful, you’ll start to believe that you may just be insane and that will lead to many self destructive behaviors and thoughts. You must act dumb in many situations. (Anyone intelligent will see that I am putting a lot of emphasis on this, and usually our actions are the result of strong emotions, therefore I must have been extremely hurt recently or traumatized in the past by this lesson)
You rarely conform to social norms because they’re just stupid and a waste of time. This gets back into the ego I talked about. Almost 95% of our actions every single day are subconscious and random, depend on how society programmed our subconscious to respond to stimuli, and our ego justifies them after we do them in an effort to maintain consistent story. “I must have done that because I felt..” because few understand this, they think their programmed responses are free will, that they’re making the choice, even though science shows they react before they even have a mental thought. The thought and justification come after, sometimes by several seconds. The justification depends on what they’ve been programmed to believe to conform with their personal narrative. Society is brainwashed into thinking they need all these things to be happy, must be and act certain ways, even if they’re self-destructive. So the higher the IQ, the less you’re usually accepted by society.
The benefits are an insane ability to learn and master anything and pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is our superpower, and it leads us to see that much of society are not conscious. They don’t see that their lives are a reflection of their daily habits. Like going to the gym. They think becoming wealthy is luck, and has nothing to do with their daily learning and work. That’s like thinking someone going to the gym for two years just happened to luck out when they lost 50lbs on the way….They cannot see the correlation between using their turn signals and risks of accidents, or that how they react to others actually affects their lives. They live largely asleep. But when you see those patterns, that the entire universe revolves around magnificent and brilliant patterns, even human psychology, you generally have an extremely easy time manipulating those patterns to gain what you want or to help others. Wealth is easy.
