This picture seems normal until you turn it upside down

no believe me you don't want that. It is such a burden to be a genius. You always notice all these little things that no one else notices, it ruins everything.

When people play a shooting game, everyone thinks "Wow, this is so fun!" but you'll think "The bullet trajectory is all wrong. During flight, gravity, drag, and wind have a major impact on the path of the projectile, and must be accounted for when predicting how the projectile will travel. How can I predict my bullet's trajectory when the game doesn't even take those simple metrics into account?"

not to mention social interactions are ruined forever. Everyone around you wants to listen to "gangsta" music, but you just want to listen to classical. Everyone wants to talk about meaningless topics like the social standing of their peers, the latest celebrity gossip, etc. while you just want to talk about how incredible quantum mechanics are and how they can be applied in human society to advance our civilization in ways never before thought possible.

It seems whenever you try to speak, everyone just looks at you confused. Their simple minds are about as complex as your own mind was when you were around 5 or 6 (btw I skipped 2 grades when I was 7, so in my case, their minds are about as simple as mine was when I was 4 years of age). It's like speaking with children. Only the children think they are adults, and look at YOU like YOU are the bizarre one.

It is frustrating, because you know that these children will never truly grow up. They will go through their entire lives not even knowing who Bernart de Ventadorn was, but knowing who Jesus was. Always using electronics but knowing nothing about intricacies of electrical engineering (when I was 8 years old, I forgot to make a project for a science fair. So, only 30 minutes before the fair began, I made a radio from nothing but scraps. But of course they couldn't believe that a 8 year old made, in 30 minutes, what took mankind thousands of years to invent, all without help, so I was wrongfully disqualified)

Being a genius is NOT your dream. I am doomed to live the rest of my life all alone in this world. A human surrounded by simple primates. The primates will depend on me to make their electronics, and dumb it all down to a point where they can understand (I use linux, but of course all of my friends use windows because linux is just too hard for them to use).

Being a genius is NOT your dream. Not if you truly understood what a horrible curse it is. I am 14 and I will be graduating high school next school year. There are people that are just starting high school, and I am finished with it already. And it was a complete waste of time, I spent all day in class studying string theory while everyone else learns that the mitochondria the the powerhouse of the cell, something I learned as a toddler. Being a genius is NOT your dream. I spent time in dual enrollment, taking college classes because I was too advanced for high school classes. And even there, everyone around me was not much more intelligent than I was as a toddler. I am going to be stuck in another 4 years of this torture. Not to mention the rest of my life. Being a genius is NOT your dream.
