More advanced than most others?

Seconded, TieDiedSuperstar.

Intelligence alone doesn't make you a better person than anyone, but at the same time being surrounded by people of lesser intelligence means your brain won't be stimulated as much as it should.

If you could play pro-sports, why would you play with the guys in your neighbourhood and not a pro-league?

It gets better in college. I felt that way in high school. Now that I am in college surrounded by brilliant people, I never feel like I am talking down to people and I never have to deal with slow people. It's nice to not have to repeat yourself or rephrase your sentences because people don't understand the context in which you are speaking.

Haha, vansshoes, I know exactly how you feel. That's how high school was for me. The only freshman in a senior class. Some people don't take their education seriously.

To put it frankly, I sometimes feel as if I am surrounded by retards(don't mean to offend) because of the plain fact I am a freshman in a class full of seniors who don't get a damn thing while I have to sit in class and do nothing for half an hour while the others finish their work.

Thanks, guys, I appreciate your support. And I promise I'm not a pompous ass =)

I feel like that a lot. When you have a higher IQ and you hang around average humans all the time (which is the most likely scenario) you will face a lot of frustration.

totally normal just don't be an ass if you think you're smarter than someone it annoys the ppl who do understand you.

Honestly, there are people out there who are just plain stupid. I sometimes feel like other people don't observe as much as I do and I get irritated

Sometimes I feel like that as well. Maybe you should try taking an official IQ test with accurate results and see how you do.

Yes. It is human nature to feel superior to others even when it might not be the case.
