OMG 132! 1 in 50!
Nice coping mechanism, I used that when I was 13. It didn't help, and made everything worse.
I'm not sure if I could call myself intelligent, considering if I really was I wouldn't be here right now, but wherever I go I always just think too deeply about all the little details to the point that it depresses me. Things like seeing an elderly person ordering at McDonald's or a child swearing, it makes me start to think about shit like loss of innocence and seeing your familiar world around you change into a sad and cold one.
I know it's pretty autistic but this kind of stuff just throws me onto thought trains that have me pondering things too much.

I'm a junior in college and I still feel this way. Being smart really isn't that wonderful. There's so much I don't know, and so little others understand, or even want to. I want to share the joys of the world with them but it passes over them like a breeze upon the rocks. It makes me sad 2bh.
I've had my iq tested before, I don't remember what it was. I've been in therapy for years. I don't know anymore.

Pick one. Part of intelligence is being a master over your own body and mind and not letting stupid shit control your thoughts. If you are depressed, you are stupid.
>but I have problems my life is hard shitsucks.wah
Excuses so you don't have to put in effort to sort out your problems and find a positive perspective through which to view your issues. Excuses similar to "I am too intelligent to EVER be happy wahhhh". Quit being an idiot and sort your shit if you're so brainy.

>>25153456
well both their IQ's are well over 200
You aren't unhappy because you're smart.
You're unhappy because you're a trivial piece of shit that focuses so much on how smart he is compared to other people that you don't ever look at yourself critically and instead blame your problems on other people being too stupid compared to you.
Stop caring about how you compare to others.
Maybe that will make you happy. Idk.

>>25153221
I have no idea what my IQ is or whether IQ actually really means anything, but I know your feels. I have depression and anxiety so I am incredibly low energy while at the same time occupied by an undending train or rapid cycling thoughts and theoretical conversations. I can read people relatively well, too but I still have social anxiety that isn't justified by any sort of delusions. It just makes me feel bad to be around a lot of people unless I am drunk.

Absolutely absurd
Emotions are born from chemical reactions in the brain - this is scientifically proven
These chemical reactions arise as consequence to events that happen in your life e.g. something negative happens, you feel sad, something good happens, you feel happy, etc
Then it follows that depression, a state of chronic and profound unhappiness, rises from a persistent negative circumstance (or series thereof) in a person's life
Emotions don't just "happen", you don't "choose" to feel them
You're probably referring to the idiotic mainstream idea that you "can't choose your circumstances, but you CAN choose how to react to them"
This is the same sort of platitude as "just be yourself"
There's a difference between being happy and telling yourself that you're happy when you're not
Any of you other "intelligent" bros out there get really annoyed when people compliment your intelligence?
It just makes me depressed when it happens because it just confirms to me that my "intelligence" is all that I have, and that I am destined to become some beta provider because I won't be able to attract women any other way.
I would gladly be 90 IQ if I would be tall and attractive, that would be the good life m8
>>25155087
>it still hurts
Are you me? I feel like I'm legit becoming dumber and dumber every day, like for example, I'm starting to misspell words that I should have no business misspelling. Makes me feel stupid as hell.
>>25151243
i thought that too, then i started taking pills to boost my serotonin levels, now i barely come here and am basically a normie
its a hard pill to swallow (huehuehue) but realizing brain chemicals make your emotions makes you really start: exercising, sleeping, eating, supplementing properly and caring about that shit too.. its a mixed kinda feel
anyway, my tip is to get on that shit. do research, take supplements..etc. you'll feel different
>>25155259
At one point I was on anti-depressants, but it seemed to me that every pill that I was taking at some kind of negative side effect on me.
First anti-depressant I ever took was I think Pro-Zac? That gave me awful diarrhea and heart palpitations that were just super uncomfortable. But they did work otherwise.
I try to avoid being on meds since there's always some kind of drawback like that for me but I might try again soon since I've been seeing a therapist again.
>>25155128

and its only men who do it too
not like women care about it but I hear compliments about chads height pretty regularly
>>25155340
It's ridiculous how often I hear women talk about height. God why are they such vapid whores?
Also, I actually think I'd be happier if I were dumb. Less expectations, less worries, no pressure from relatives etc
>>25155128
I get stressed out because I know despite being book smart and knowledgeable on certain subjects, that I'm not nearly as intelligent as people seem to think I am, and I'm not even that knowledgeable on most things that I do know stuff about. I'm always learning stuff or getting schooled on the internet.
>>25155340
>not like women care about it but I hear compliments about chads height pretty regularly
Kek, sounds about right. Women are fucking stupid and have no appreciation for intelligence.
>>25155189
>starting to misspell words that I should have no business misspelling
Literally me, it only sucks so bad because intelligence is pretty much the only thing I care about, but as it turns out I'm mediocre as hell in that regard.
You know what made me even more depressed this week? I was thinking about how my academic accomplishments are about as well-deserved as getting a modelling gig for being attractive.
Basically there's no such thing as "earning" something. Everything is luck or genetics, I just wish I got lucky in other aspects instead.

Besides the point. No, you're not supposed to force your mental state into happiness, you're supposed to change your circumstances. And for that to be possible, you have to change your attitude. No, you're not helpless. You're just comfortable with misery.

>implying i walk anywhere
>>25155750
What are you implying by that?
>>25155496
>you're supposed to change your circumstances
Here we come to the root of the problem, wherein it becomes necessary to define what actually constitutes "real" depression
The illness is characterized by a persistent state of hopelessness in the patient. Don't think this requires sources as it's a well-known central symptom of the condition and is axiomatic to its definition
I agree with you wholeheartedly if you say that the people on this board who say "I'm depressed because I don't have a gf/I'm fat/don't have a job/have social anxiety/etc" have means by which they can escape the situation
Then it is plausible tosay those people are depressed because of contentment with their situation
Then we look at one of your examples, a person with cancer. If having cancer is the reason they're depressed, there is nothing they can do, because having cancer is an immutable circumstance. Even if they get treatment and go inro remission, they still have cancer, as it can arise again at a moment's notice
Else take my own example. I'm 5'6" and depressed due to my height. No, it isn't because women find me unattractive (this board reduces everything to that). I'm depressed because I'm short, period
Considering my age (21 yrs), it is reasonable to assume that this is also an immutable circumstance. By definition it cannot be changed, irrespective of any "changes in attitude" I might employ
Thus in this case the only "solution" would be self-delusion; telling myself "I'm happy/don't mind being short". This is a lie, there's no two ways about it

>If I could stop thinking on command that would be great
I cannot tell you how to stop thinking, and it sounds like a horrible idea.
What I can tell you is how to produce enough mental noise to quiet those particular thoughts, the intrusive/obsessive ones.
First trick is to silence thoughts.
First, count backward from 100 in your head.
Second, visualize the letters. Give them forms and colors.
Third, imagine a cygn swimming on a quiet lake.
Yes, all three at the same time. Your mind is easily capable of that.
Everytime a though keeps coming to remind you that she doesn't date manlet, begin again at 100.
Second trick is to appease your heart. Have you notice that those thoughts always evoke feels, like you're living through that shit again?
Inhale quickly five times, exhale slowly in two. See how it relaxes your body.
After some time, you'll be able to do both tricks at once, and from there the angry gods of magical science in your body will destroy the demons of the past, shattering them into peaces.
