5 Struggles of Intelligent People which nobody understands

Intelligent people always strive to learn more and grow in their life, be in personal or professional. They read, research, engage, attend meetings, and connect with people. Being intelligent itself is a gift to lot of people. Some are born intelligent, while others develop it in their life. But one thing is certainly sure that intelligent people have more struggle in their life compared to the normal ones.

There are several difficulties and challenges which intelligent people face in their life and because of this, many a times they feel isolated from the world.

Here are some of those top struggles which only intelligent people would understand and nobody else.

Hard to make Friendships

Intelligent people are always proactive in making friends. Whenever they meet someone, they would like them to be their friends. However, intelligent people expect others to have the same kind of interest of what they have. And most of the time, not everybody is like that. Because of this, they tend to lose more people in their life, as they don’t have a matching frequency with others friends.

Over Analysis everything

Intelligent people always want to be aware of pros and cons before they make any decisions. And many a times, they get into the “What if” analysis on everything. Sometime this can altogether stop them from making decision itself. Because they always like to be perfectionist and thus they over analyze everything. By doing this they sometimes fall into their own trap.

Fall in their own Trap

Sometime being intelligent itself is a trap. There are so many scenarios where intelligent people are trapped in their own intelligence. Because they are smart compared to others, they always do their homework and many a times other people think that they are trying to boost themselves in front of others. They really feel so bad when other people think of them like that and many a times they aren’t able to take away this thought from their minds.

More Pressure

When you are intelligent, you tend to feel that you always need to do an outstanding job in whatever you do. It can be career, relationships or anything. You always feel that you want to excel in all of the areas and thus you tend to attract more pressure from the society and within self. Because you always look forward to break records, you live a life with full of pressure most times.

Doesn’t find Happiness easily

Intelligent people have a curse of themselves. They often think too much about anything and end up being unhappy. When they see other people around them who doesn’t think too much and are yet happy, they wonder if it would have been better if they weren’t simply smart. They try to pretend as if they are not intelligent in few situations, but their mind doesn’t allow it.

Although this doesn’t cover all the struggle which intelligent people are facing. But most of them will admit that they are some of the top ones.

Have you experience these in your life? Share with someone whom you perceive as intelligent and let them know that there are people in this world who truly understand what are they feeling.
