Is it normal to think ppl r beneath u n 2 steer away from those type of ppl

So, I have a cuz thats like a total failure and I hate having conversations with her. Like her level of intellect is so low. We can't have educational conversations or talk about how to solve equations etc... is it wrong for me to ignore and avoide her and other old friends that I feel are beneath me, a waiste of my time. Ok beneath me is a lil shallow so lets just say not on the same page that I'm on.

      ^ this.

      I absolutely believe you're more intelligent than someone. I totally buy that.

      I mean, I have conversations about equations all the time 'n' shit. That's totally what smart people talk about.

      Hell even the way you type just screams intellect.

    Everyone is differnt. You like math and seem terrible at english. Maby your friends prefer something else. You dont ask an astrophysicist about dinosaurs. One is no smarter than the other for their occupation. It's the room for improvement and expantion their mind has to adapt and progress, what truely matters. Keep an open mind, your mind seems quite narrow at the moment. Maby you should think about this, open your mind.

    But also like ollieo said: "Yes it is OK to not have a lot to do with people you share little in common with."

    I understand what you are saying, but don't be rude about it. Try to be patient with them if you really find that there is a big difference in interlectual levels, it's your cousin so be nice. As long as someone isn't being ignorant than there is no reason to brush them off as it sounds like you are doing.

    To the commenters above, for all you know this person could be dyslexic. That doesn't make them stupid. Whether or not they are intelligent is not for us to judge.

  • I think theres something wrong with YOU not her YOU. Seriously no one wants to talk about how to solve equations. You can't understand peoples emotions and probably have a mental probablem. Deal with it.

    I'd skip trying for an 'educational conversation' and aim for an 'intellectual conversation' instead.

    Yeah, merm is right, your spelling shows you aren't as educated as you think. Your post comes across as horribly snobbish. Just because your cousin isn't a success in your eyes doesn't make her opinions less valid. Grow up.

    If they were so beneath you, you would know how to spell "waste". Get a life. You aren't better than anyone.

    haha. i know exactly what you are talking about. i have a few friends that i stopped talking to because they are so intellectually behind me that it just became frustrating to try to converse with them.

    i think that it is totally normal. sometimes, people just develop and grow in different directions, making it hard to form bonds when you no longer feel like they understand you.

    people with a higher than average iq do have trouble relating to those with low ones.

    since you are the smarter one, keep your conversations at the other person's level, and leave the intense stuff with people of your caliber.

    be pleasant, because you will come across people who are much smarter and wiser than you are, and know, that they doing the same thing for you.

  • Try to have some respect for who they are and not be too harsh in judging them. Yes it is OK to not have a lot to do with people you share little in common with. But it is not OK to be arrogant.
