I recently realized that being smart sucks.
I'm two things; not a genius, and glad I'm not one
The smarter I become the worse/harder/sadder life gets.
- I get more depressed.
- People expect more from me when I don't have more to give.
- It becomes harder to form and/or keep relationships.
- Thinking more often begins to reveal the sad but true fact to you that the world is an awful place.
- People are annoyed by me more often.
- I overthink things too much leading to anxiety.
- I'm right too often (I know, it sounds stupid), so it's harder to be surprised. Being proven wrong is more pleasant than it used to be because I get more out of it.
I think it goes hand in hand with blissful ignorance.
(I feel the need to clarify that I'm not suicidal or hurting myself)
