Intelligent people have less friends. Why?

in #life6 years ago

A study published in the British Journal of Psychology has demonstrated that a low interest in socialization is specific for very intelligent people.

So, if you’re an intelligent person, you might recognize some of these personality traits: you might be less sociable then other people and you can occasionally feel anxious, but you know that it is a normal, acceptable thing.

Psychologists discovered that there is a connection between frequent social interaction and a low satisfaction of a fulfilled life. They made studies in which they included people between the ages of 18 and 28 years.

The study goes around the idea that intelligent people can easily adapt to the challenges of modern life, so they can leave their group of friends and focus on themselves with no problem. The more intelligent a person is, the less he or she feels the need to be in a circle of people, because they don’t need that feeling of membership to feel okay.

They are capable to find their purpose in life on their own.

When an intelligent person has to choose between being a part of a group of people and going on his/her own path, he/she is likely to be willing to trust his own strength. It seems that people who live in little towns are less happy.

This can be related to the fact that in a small town, the connections between people are more intimate, so the need to impress appears. When living in a small town, everyone knows who you are, so you feel pressured to act in a certain way.

This is how some people become the “slaves” of social standards, trying to be nice and make everyone happy, forgetting about their own priorities.

Intelligent people avoid stuff like this and they often choose to focus on themselves. This doesn’t mean that they are selfish or rude, they simply know that they can’t make everyone happy and that they don’t need fake friendships to survive, so they are happy with a small circle or even on their own.

@jwolf You are completely right. Due to shortage of activities, lack of proper education, less stressful life and the plenty of time they have; people in small towns are usually interested in what others do, how could this affect them and why someone is a good or bad person. Everyone there is being watched 24/7.
while in cities people are too busy to care about what is happening to their closest neighbors.
But everyone still can't be a slave to society but it takes confidence, independence, and high self-esteem to break free from the fear of what others might think of you.

Thanks for sharing.

According to the Research, People are Better Intelligent

Often forget where to put a key or a cell phone? Maybe you belong to a class of intelligent people. Recent research says so. The study, published in the journal Neuron is revealed that often forget small things just show the brain in a normal and healthy.

It is said to be a sign that your brain is creating new space for more useful information. Can be concluded that often forget is a mark of the intelligent brain because able to accommodate further information.

This is also research about smart people, very interesting friend. Greetings my best friend .. haha
