Is it normal that people are jealous of my intelligence?
Ever since I can remember, I've been apparently 'gifted' with intelligence. Anything I want to learn, I learn quickly and remember easily. That does not, however, mean that I am doing well in all my school classes. My girlfriend in particular is jealous that I miss school frequently (which I am actually feeling very guilty for) and yet I still have an A to B average. I'm an all honors student, and these absences will eventually catch up to me (which is why I decided I won't miss school anymore), however my main point is "Is it normal that people are jealous of my intelligence?"
I really mean, is it normal that people are jealous that I don't have to work hard for what I get? I really don't ever bother with 100% effort, and even though it bothers me, I still get good grades. So, is it normal for people to be jealous of your grades if you don't try especially hard?
I'm really filled with stress and guilt regardless, so I'd love to hear other peoples thoughts on this. If you all don't mind, please post a paragraph or so, so I can have some food for thought. Thanks.
