When intelligence becomes a curse ... What difficulties do the intelligent people face?

Although high intelligence is one of the positive attributes that distinguishes its owner, its owners usually face great difficulties, as those with super intelligence must develop some attributes such as determination, diligence, and a desire to take risks, as well as tolerance with others, which helps to achieve the desired success.

In her report, published by the Russian "FPR", the author Avdokimova Irina reviewed the difficulties that a smart person usually faces.

Difficulties expressing the depth of feelings
Smart people can boast of having a rich dictionary and renewed speeches that simplify the task of expressing their feelings in words. On the other hand, they find it difficult to express in detail the feelings and feelings they have. In fact, the smart person usually works to talk about his feelings logically and continuously, using all his intelligence during this process.

Moreover, people who lack a rich lexicon often use physical expressions to describe their feelings, including screaming, jumping, laughing out loud or even crying, unlike the intelligent who dispense with such behavior.

But on the other hand, people with modest cognitive abilities usually have a good level of emotional intelligence, aware of their feelings and able to express them clearly, while the supernatural person sometimes is unable to express his feelings.

High expectations for other people
It is difficult for the super-intelligent person to talk about his weaknesses and faults in front of others. People with great cognitive abilities usually fear failure, and they are chased by fear of loss from a young age. This is due to various reasons, including the method of nurturing, and the pressure of parents and asking their children to obtain better grades when discovering the extraordinary intelligence that characterizes children.

In addition, parents expect that their children will achieve great achievements, and that the small smart will reach all his goals, and then cause any failure, even if slight, to cause them to worry.

Parents' pressure and high expectations are among the reasons why high-achieving pupils and students enjoy a successful career. And the many demands of the parents lead to instilling fear of failure in oneself, so many smart people avoid the risk, which makes them miss the opportunity to succeed.

Lack of perseverance and diligence
Lack of perseverance and diligence are among the reasons that lead to the failure of smart people. In fact, high cognitive abilities help to quickly store and process information without much effort.

Studies by scientists have shown that good memory and analytical skills do not always contribute to developing vigilance of conscience. Usually a smart person believes that he does not need to work hard to achieve a good result, which leads to laziness and a breach of work ethics.

He often corrects others' mistakes
On the other hand, smart people often have problems communicating with others. When the interviewer commits an actual or verbal error in the conversation, the smart person corrects it, and this is considered one of his habits that he cannot get rid of.

From this standpoint, some consider that the constant reference to his mistakes is an insult to him, which causes him to sever his relations even with his relatives.

Waste time thinking
Smart people tend to think about the situation for a long time and evaluate it in all aspects, which may exacerbate the feeling of anxiety. They also think carefully, taking into account the possible consequences of their decisions.

Besides, the intelligent have difficulty applying their theories because of the hesitation and in-depth analysis of the situation for a long time, without reaching a decision sometimes.

I know I do not know
An intelligent person always admits that his knowledge is limited, and whenever he gets a lot of information, he realizes that what he gained is little. Therefore, smart people often underestimate their cognitive abilities.

In contrast, people with low intelligence tend to overestimate their cognitive abilities. Their high self-esteem can compensate for their lack of knowledge at times.
