Meeeeeeeeeeeee toooooooooo

I dunno about genius but I do get told I'm too much a smart arse sometimes lol
Ive always been top of my classes at school. Without sounding ridiculously big headed, i almost feel like i function at a higher level than a lot of the people around me which really depresses me. Finding a social life that stimulates my brain rather than killing it off with alcohol is difficult.
Maybe its the case that i over analyse things too and tend to look deeply into things.
I definitely think there is some connection.
My mum's partner's son killed himself a year ago. He was depressed. He was also VERY VERY intelligent. Coincidence?
Even coming on here and speaking to people, i notice that the people here seem like they have a higher IQ and more insight into life than the average person. Coincidence?
I dont think so.
Sound grandiose? It is not. It is our true natural state.
I'm going to print that comment off and stick it on my wall.
Half my problem is that i'm so pissed off at society for trying to make me conform and be who i'm not. For trying to suppress my ability. I'm pissed off at society for what it's become. Its all about being the richest, the prettiest, the skinniest. I'm pissed off that it doesn't even scratch the surface.
One of my reasons for depression is a complete lack of intellectual stimuli in my life. I was bored in education as it was easy, therefore I never tried and didn't get the qualifications. I never realised what I wanted to do, let alone my potential do do it. I am easily frustrated, and even more easily bored, by modern life. I can enjoy the simple things, but would prefer to share them with someone I can relate to, but the more I look for those people, the less I find. Sound familiar?
By the way, I do have a high IQ (or at least I did when it was last tested 2 years ago. Is it a coincidence that I'm depressed knowing I've wasted my life?
