His replies in the rest of the thread are incredible too
Entitled? I went to school for multiple aspects of design for five years before deciding the courses weren't challenging enough and dropping out. Yes I have debt now. yes I could use some financial support. No I am not perfect, but yes I am valued. Yes I have a brilliant potenital in my mind to do whatever I set out to. Will to power, and I have recently been looking at getting back into online video game design classes. So if I'm a dick, you're a douche. No I won't let you talk to me like that. I don't ever have to put up with disrespect. It's not your right to mock another man who is asking harmless questions, as that is how we obtain knowledge and always has been. Kindly fuck off.
Are you implying there's a sort of...economy of respect?
Do you know if there is a High-IQ MGTOW program or club here?
SHUT THE FUCK UP I AM TIRED OF BEING HARASSED HERE. YOU R-----S. YOU FUCKING R-----S. I GET IT. I WAS STRESSED. I'M SERIOUSLY ON THE EDGE DUDE. DON'T FUCK AROUND.

Isn't this a classic story for a lot of these dorks? Like the guy with the highest recorded IQ in the world hasn't been able to hold down a steady job for more than a little while cause he thinks that everything is beneath his superior intellect.
I hit my peak in high school with that. From "gifted" classes in middle school (which were fun ngl) and reading the textbooks in the first week to just totally bombing when everything transitioned to hardcore memorization and no calculator math equations. after that the whole "smart" thing just felt like a stigma that destroyed my confidence forever
I'm in a similar situation. My parents and teachers have always told me how smart I was and if I only put in a little bit of work I could easily be the best in class and it only led to me developing a huge ego while still getting garbage grades in the later years and now in uni.
I'm 23 now and to be honest? I still have these borderline delusions that I am somehow the second coming of Einstein or shit like that and that because of that I don't need to study as much even though I'm close to straight up failing university.
I'm fully aware of it but I still can't get it together. I don't want to blame my parents for it it's largely my fault but man, I don't know what to do anymore.
Shoutout to my therapist effectively saying "have you tried making a list" xd
I was 21 when I was going through what you are now (everything went off the rails for me at 23 but that's not really relevant to this). To this day I think I had ADD but was very anti-ADD treatment back then because I saw too many friends get "zombified" by Ritalin and thought it would just kill my spark or something.
I hope I don't sound like I'm suggesting "making a list" lol. Is it just like motivation or boredom issues for you?I think I fried my brains by being online 24/7 and now I'm psychologically incapable of doing anything that takes any effort at all
I'm trying to come off of it but it is difficult
yeah i'm kind of old so being online 24/7 wasn't an option then it was more like "online sessions". I will say these days it's done something similar to me expanding myself beyond this rut i'm in. you've recognized the problem though so I think you've taken a good first step to conquering it.
he developed a Qanon level delusion about his own mind
IQanon
Holy fuck he brought up the “economy of respect”
Is he the Maitre’d at Andres Steakhouse?

If you're posting online and can't put up with disrespect - you're either online for the first time in your life, or this is a joke, or you have a debilitating deficiency in social skills.
Salutations Reddit.
All jokes aside have you ever noticed how sometimes posts in /r/tifu are by a guy who doesn't realize his girlfriend is getting sick of his pathetic shit and she's about to break up with him. My favorite was some dude quoting Thanos in an argument to his girlfriend and he didn't understand how she stared at him blankly instead of rolling over with guffaws. Buddy, it was the exact moment she realized she'd outgrown you.
EDIT 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/djkj2x/tifu_by_quoting_thanos_while_arguing_with_my_gf/
EDIT 2: I looked at the OP MENSA guy's post history and it seems like heavy-handed satire. Browse through and he seems like one of those empty meme guys heavily into consumer culture who knows how to post low-hanging fruit and will "kek" if you directly challenge his right-wing views.
TLDR : GF finds a job far away from our city and I doesn't want to leave my life to live this far. She asks me if I'm really ready to leave her just to stay in my city and my only answer was "Maybe it is a small price to pay for salvation".
holy shit
It made me irrationally angry reading it. Maybe because I'm a dude who tried to find a way out of my home area for years of my life, and very nearly joined the military just to get out (had other options, I'm lucky I genuinely enjoy teaching children and helping them). So having a close connection who cares about me and wants us to support each other getting out, I don't get how you don't want it instead of freaking out that you can't keep being a manchild and quoting the Purple Guy.
Fucking god damn, Redditors.
"my gf who i think is dumber than me wants to do something with her life and just don't recognize that as i have the higher iq i should decide everything"
also when i was a kid i got a bigger number than 162 when i was made to do the the test does that means i get to command this dweeb and anyone bellow the my big brain number
Unfortunately, a big IQ number is not even useful for bossing around IQ-fetishists, because they're all hypocrites who won't even listen to Einstein.
like the number is meaningless, just a dick measuring contest with the brain and stuff and the test is skewed to ignore social and emotional inteligence and just only cares for logic which creates problems like i had deep social anxiety and i got a nice big number and like what did that mean i literally was not able to talk in school out of fear of having a conversation just i don't know what is the point of knowing who can do the logic and math if you not considering if they can work in a group or in a productive way
I don't know my IQ, but I do know my SAT Score and it's way higher than 162.
i believe if your height in centimenters is above someones iq IT DOES NOT MATTER you are more powerful
I am now staring my Thanos funko pop thinking how much this guy may have ruined part of my life.
brilliant

Everybody huuuuuurrrrtttttsssss, sometimeeeeessss
To be fair you need to have a very high IQ to understand how to get a girlfriend...
Can't remember if she mentioned it in the podcast or I heard it elsewhere, but there is rampant IQ inflation in mensa tests becuase they want your money. Like the only thing they are testing for is if your dumb/vain enough to pay them $100.
This is a hilarious bit. I know there are freaks out there that think like this but this reads more like a bit, just from sheer trope density.
"Only r-slurr member from MENSA" sounds like a cumtown bit
flustrated must be when you are flustered and frustrated at the same time
For anyone who hasn't, listen to the podcast "My Year in Mensa."
A club based around doing cool puzzles with other cool puzzle appreciators sounds awesome, but they brought IQ into it, so yeah it never had a chance at being good.
the man with the highest known IQ is an alt righter and, of course, a complete fucking loser lol
