You know, I’ve never had that experience.
Not to minimize, but some people really believe that disliking small talk or being indifferent to shopping or recipes makes them a genius.
In other words, it’s situational.
Possibly if you were surrounded by Caltech and Oxford professors you would consider yourself just regular smart.

I also said I’m bored at classes and shiurim.
I was surrounded by Caltech and Oxford professors and still was a considered a genius.
I love small talk with very smart people

Multidimensional geniuses are often good at guiding and counseling others. They are keenly aware of the motivations and latent drives and emotions that others aren’t aware of and can draw on their vast knowledge and out of the box thinking to provide insight and guidance to others. Have you considered taking steps to go in that direction?
If others relate to you in that capacity you will have constant requests for help and guidance rather than mindless small talk, and you can make a real difference in people’s lives. |
Beautifully said!
My DH is genius. He works in finance and uses this to help ppl who find themselves in trouble.
He is known throughout the country we live in. He can’t go to a wedding, or even the local store without being stopped by someone.
He is genuinely happy to help, and enjoys all social situations as he comes away feeling a sense of contribution.

OP forgive me but you don't sound like a genius.
Are you open to the notion that there are different types of intelligence and you might be exceptional in specific ones but perhaps lacking in others?
I know I'm gifted with unusual capacities in certain areas but fully aware of the fact that I'm somewhat limited in others.

Manipulating a conversation to get people to spill their guts, or to get info you want.

Op, since this is an AMA thread, can I ask you to demonstrate your genius?
You ask us to belive you that you are a genius, but have not provided any proof that you really are, so right now I have my doubts.

The only part of your intelligence open for observation is the way you express yourself in writing. I already apologized for this so I won't belabor the point, but your writing style doesn't indicate exceptional talents.
I answered your question but you didn't respond to mine. Do you consider it possible your genius doesn't extend to all the various measures of intelligence?

From before Purim.
There was a poster who imagined herself to be a queen and wore a crown and ordered everyone around.
EtA: if you search for the word Queen, the thread should come up.

Another problem I never say I’m a genius in real life because I get a lot of nasty comments if I even say something remotely about my abilities.

She might be a genius in a different language.
