Anyone feel like this?

<p>When it comes to guilt? I'm the sort of person who has a horrible guilt conscience. For example, for years I've been ridiculed and taunted and badmouthed for being smart. Granted I officially have an IQ of 150 and do things with ease, but I never considered myself different. Be that as it may, I then came under the impression that it was wrong to be smart. And so now as I feel guilty of being smart, I tend to help a lot of people out, when I could be an ******* more often than not.</p>

<p>Case in point from my rambling, anyone feel compelled to help others out for feeling of guilt?</p>

2

<p>I do haha. I feel bad for people who don’t get the material so I help them out, until I realize that they’re using me, and I tell them to f*** off. (:</p>

3

<p>The lack of humility isn’t even subtle.</p>

4

<p>In Elementary School, I tended to help kids out because I wasn’t that social, so it felt nice to talk to someone. Now, I’m like **** you, unless we both don’t get what’s going on for the most part.</p>

5

<p>What an altruistic guy.</p>

6

<p>I love helping others out in math, psychology, or biology. Otherwise, it’s plain annoying!</p>

7

<p>@Jersey13, I’m the last guy you want to look for in terms of Humility. I have none.</p>

8

<p>^Soul brothers.</p>

9

<p>^ Except my arrogance is usually in jest. And MIThopeful16, I don’t see how you could justify your lack of humility.</p>

10

<p>I like helping people, it just clears out my mind and confirms what I know [which I am teaching them], and when people thank me it makes me feel… well, helpful :)</p>

<p>But when people ask me for ideas and inspirations for a project or for an essay it can kind of annoy me though, if I think of something good. I’d rather use it myself and not have the whole class do the same thing.</p>

11

<p>I justify it by seeing the hatred and scorn I have received from my peers at the school I attend. And an introspective look at myself.</p>

12

<p>OP, aren’t you the one who puts potential girlfriends into a formula to see if they are worthy and deemed none of them so?</p>

13

<p>^ LOL. I guess all perfectionists go through that phase. I scrapped my formula about a year ago and couldn’t be happier with a guy that probably would not have met 85% of my criterion.
@OP - Sometimes the lack of appreciation I get when I help folks bugs me [eg they feel as if it’s their rights to be helped], but I do it anyway. I figure it’s a win-win situation if I’m able to assist somebody. I understand the material more thoroughly; they get some kind of relative help.</p>

14

<p>Why yes, I am that guy. Besides, I don’t think very many girls like that formula anyway, and wouldn’t be interested in me regardless.</p>

15

<p>jajaja IQ means nothing. My IQ is 187 but I know lots of people I consider smarter than me.</p>

16

<p>^ Nice IQ. In my school, I haven’t met people like that.</p>

17

<p>^Nope! ten char</p>

<p>Edit: There’s no way that guy has an IQ of 187. That would make him one of the 100 smartest people (roughly) on the planet.</p>

18

<p>Would put him just right under Hawking, wouldn’t it? And is Savant still the smartest in the world by IQ?</p>

19

<p>I’m not extremely smart by the common definition. I am just good at solving patterns.</p>

<p>And no, this was not an internet IQ test LOL.</p>

<p>I also had figured out the general idea to Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices (from a booklet) a few days before the test, and the rest is easy - just memorization and simple math. My score was probably inflated because I doubt you’re supposed to “practice” with the patterns and such beforehand… :&lt;/p>

<p>lol patterns are easy to me. and the Internet IQ Tests always give me like an IQ over 200, so I stopped messing around.</p>
