15 amazing signs that you are smarter than everyone else

Welcome, wonderful people

Isn't it funny that people who often claim to be smarter than average aren't? But those who do not appear in the radar, and are not the first to speak, are introverted and quiet, are much smarter than their loud-speaking peers.

If you paid attention to this article to confirm that you are indeed smarter than everyone else, then you probably aren't. But if you've been reading to learn something and see if you have any of these traits, then you probably are - without realizing it.

Here are 15 signs that are common in smarter individuals.

1. You don't need to put much effort into anything you do

If you are smarter than everyone around, then you are miles ahead of your colleagues. If it is easy for you to do something new or retain new information, there is a good chance you will be smarter than others.

Don't despair though, if you find that you struggle to remember things or need to try something dozens of times before you can do it on your own, you can train your brain to work more efficiently. Our brains need exercise, just as our bodies do.

First and foremost ... stop telling yourself that there is nothing you can do. The brain is very powerful and will start to believe it. Instead, change your rhetoric and never stop learning.

Here are some quick ways to train this lazy brain:

Read, listen, relax, maintain smart company, eat brain-friendly food and indulge in mind games - Suduko, Crosswords, Scrabble and Chess are all great!

2. Insulting and insulting is part of your everyday language

It has been scientifically proven that people who swear are more honest and have higher intelligence. Insult is a feature of language that speakers use to obtain the maximum effect of the message.

Insults have another benefit: it is a natural pain reliever. I conducted a study that saw many volunteers submerging their hands in ice water. They were told to swear the whole time their hands were in the water. The experiment was repeated, but the volunteers were not allowed to insult. Pain tolerance was much better when participants were able to vent their wound in bad words.

 

3. You have no problem being alone

In fact, those who are extremely intelligent prefer to be alone and then in the company of others. Most people list being with friends as something that brings them happiness, but smart people do not have this desire.

There are two schools of thought behind this theory. The first is evolution - smarter people adapt better to the modern world where we don't need to depend on people for shelter, food, or protection. The other is ambitious - when you are smarter, you are driven and focused and don't need to be distracted by social interactions.

4. Take too long to fall asleep

You counted sheep, tightened and relaxed your body, drank a cup of warm milk and were still awake. Before you start experiencing anxiety attacks, know that you are probably smarter than others, which is why you cannot sleep easily.

Your mind is so busy working it through answering some of life's deep questions - like how insults can be a natural pain reliever and why I only learned this information today.

5. You understand why others are the way they are

It's called empathy, and if you are able to put yourself inside someone else's shoes and make an effort to understand what they're going through, there is a good chance you will be smarter than others.

People often measure intelligence in higher scores, but higher emotional intelligence scores are what make a person smarter. Researchers at Texas Tech University confirmed that smarter people could recognize other people's feelings and that these people were also more willing to help others without expecting anything in return.

6. You can ignore the heart if necessary

When faced with a difficult decision, the smarter people are able to make the decision. They don't procrastinate much, they know that if the situation is bad, the sooner they make the decision, the better.

7. You talk to yourself a lot

You are truly happy in your own company, and you don't need social interactions to be happy with yourself, and your inner thoughts keep you awake at night ... So, it's no surprise that you talk to yourself a lot.

Psychological researcher Gary Lubian conducted an experiment to put this theory under study. He had a group of volunteers go to the grocery store with a list of what they needed to buy. The list was transmitted verbally to them, with instructions that half of the group could repeat the items to buy and the other half could not. Those who kept repeating the elements remember them much better than those who did not.

He added that talking to yourself stimulates memory, clarifies ideas, and helps one focus.

8. Some people find it difficult to communicate with you

There is a study that indicates that you can only communicate with people within your IQ range if you are highly intelligent. If you have an intellectual curiosity, and are trying to hang out with those who don't have this talent, then this is a mismatch made in ... well ... not Heaven, that's for sure.

If you find it difficult to make friends, and have tried on numerous occasions, but it seems that it has not worked - the reason may be that you are smarter than the audience you are trying to make friends with. It can be stressful and frustrating to keep the conversation flowing because they are not on the same level as you are.

Euripides once said: “We pay dearly for intelligence. Wisdom hurts.”

9. You have social anxiety

If you already struggle to socialize and make friends with people who are not in your IQ range, then you probably also suffer from social anxiety.

Before you head to an event or a social gathering, you start to worry about it. We're not talking about extremism here, like A.

Social anxiety disorder. We are only referring to this feeling you have before you approach any social situation.

10. You are really good at figurative language

Metaphors, similes, diagnoses ... all the colorful ways to write and speak easily come to smart people.

He is not just a fun puppy, he is a lively and fun-loving puppy! The language is here to be used and enjoyed, and of course we always leave room for insults.

11. You are actually questioning

There is a saying by Tim Farris that says, "Reality is negotiable." As he says, "Outside of science and law, all rules can be bent or broken, and they need not be unethical."

Smart people know that they can choose and change their reality at any time. They are really skeptical and push the boundaries.

They doubt the truth. They know that two people witnessing the same car accident will report the accident differently; Each of them has its own version of the truth.

Smart people take risks - look at Elon Musk, Nikola Tesla, and Pythagoras in the world, and certainly there is a fine line between the geeky geek and the clever madman, but they all took risks and continued their work despite being told otherwise by those around them.

12. You worry too much

Anxiety and intelligence go hand in hand. The anxious mind is preoccupied with thinking of all possibilities, playing every outcome, pushing boundaries and dribbling words. A study conducted by psychologists took 80 students and set up a computer for them.

When they turned on the computer, they got a message saying that the computer had a virus and they needed to get help from tech support.

They put various obstacles in the way of getting help, to increase their levels of stress and anxiety. Students who showed higher levels of stress and anxiety during the experiment had higher levels of intelligence than those who did not feel stressed.

I also mentioned that anxiety is related to intelligence because anxiety can save us in dangerous situations. 1 out of 10 times, tension can be good.

13. You tend to procrastinate and be chaotic

If you are one of those people who postpone their vacations until tomorrow, then tomorrow passes and you put it off to the next tomorrow, then you are probably very smart.

Now, take a look at your desk or bedroom ... is it chic or messy? If the chaos is organized, then you basically still know where to find your character, then you are more intelligent.

To confirm this further, a study by the University of Minnesota claims that smart people leave their areas messy because instead of investing time to clean up their space, they prefer using it for more important things.

14. You know what you do not know

When you're smart - you realize that you don't know everything, and you don't have all the answers. You acknowledge that there is always something to learn and someone to learn from, whether they're older or younger than you.

You are always open to learning and will not make any judgment until you know all the facts.

The late American spiritual teacher, author, and philosopher, Vernon Howard, said, "Always go through life as if you had something new to learn, and you will."

15. You are not posting inspiring nonsense on social media

We found several articles indicating that people who post inspirational messages and memes on social media are not as smart as those who do not. We decided to look at this a little bit more, and we're glad we did - because it appears that even this study was inaccurately reported and taken out of context.

But it is a good example of this, as intelligent people do not take people's sayings as law. If it sounds strange or unusual, they will go and investigate and draw their own conclusions from the evidence presented.

So go ahead and keep posting motivational memes, there's always someone who needs to read them!
