Being intelligent is very, very lonely. Added to this excruciating pain of loneliness an intelligent person has a deeply profound sense of awareness thus the narrow-minded nature civilisation impacts heavily upon a sensitive mind. Intelligent people are a small minority. Chances of finding an equal are slim. Healthy emotional relationships are a defence against a hostile cruel world but an intelligent person will struggle to be loved by family or a romantic partner. The vast majority of fools swarming throughout the world show no compassion or love towards intelligent people. Stupid people frequently see intelligent people as a threat thus fools react with hostility. The genius is ostracised. Cold ignorance is EXTREMELY depressing when no one loves you. http://istealyourmoney.com/hell-night...

As a highly social *and* gifted person...I think the answer is a little different than you have posited here. Highly intelligent people often see through the facade and realize that the world doesn't make sense. That the human condition is ugly - they see *through* everything - that in and of itself becomes incredibly depressing. Life begins to feel shallow as opposed to what they believe could be accomplished - in short - they expect *more*. And are always puzzled when more doesn't exist and when no one wants to join them on that quest.

In response to some of the comments posts recently, I take little notice of anyone who posts as Anonymous. I provide full disclosure, including name and contact information. People who post as Anonymous have something to hide, and it can't be good. This article is of a magazine style, not of a peer-reviewed journal of social science. In general, readers don't want to have boring sources listed because they simply don't care about them. However, every statement I write comes from my own studies as a sociologist and/or from other studies. I do not feel responsible for explaining matters which should be general knowledge, but still may not be known by some readers. Readers should also be aware that because they know something they consider to be self-evident does not mean that this information is known to every reader. Some readers and commenters come to learn, others to preach to me, still more to share. This article was intended to supplement the previous one, as stated in the description ("About This Document"). It is not intended to stand alone. Finally, nowhere does either article say that all intelligent people are unhappy. They say that intelligent people may have more reasons or causes that lead them to unhappiness if they don't know how to cope with their life problems. No one is happy all the time. To state that almost everyone is happy is a generalization not supported by fact or scientific study. However, any study that draws the "happiness line" low enough will find that almost everyone is happy most of the time. Such studies are worthless, except to blur the facts that intelligent people have problems they may not have the skills to cope with. These problems are not inevitable, but result from lack of attention to development of social and emotional skills and coping mechanisms in childhood or adolescence.

Thanks, gives me something to think about. But at the end, I've known brilliant people of every personality type and level of social skill.
