Why Highly Intelligent People Are Miserable
為什麼高智商的人會痛苦
“It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.”— Albert Einstein
“ 我雖舉世聞名，卻又如此孤獨，這真的很奇怪。” ー阿爾伯特 · 愛因斯坦
If you’re anything like me, then a high level of intelligence has been a huge handicap throughout the course of your life. It might sound a bit counterintuitive at first, but trust me, it’s a lesson best learnt from the experiences of others.
如果你和我一樣，那麼高水平的智力在你的一生中都是一個巨大的障礙，起初這聽起來可能有點違反直覺，但相信我，這會是從別人的經驗中學到的最好的一課。

Have you ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger Effect? If you haven’t come across the term before, you have definitely experienced the principle. It’s a psychological rule that states; it’s the most incompetent who are the most confident, while the intelligent ones doubt their own abilities. Put simply, dumb people are too dumb to know how dumb they are. Smart people are clever enough to know how much they don’t know. British philosopher Bertrand Russell who first laid out the idea perhaps summed it up best: “The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.” Basically, all of us have a pretty lousy grasp of the limits of our own competence one way or another.
你聽說過達克效應（Dunning-Kruger effect）嗎？ 如果你以前沒有遇到過這個術語，那麼你肯定經歷過。
這是一個心理學規則：
最無能的人最自信，而聰明的人懷疑自己的能力，簡而言之，愚蠢的人太愚蠢了，以至於不知道自己有多愚蠢，聰明的人足夠聰明，知道自己不知道的還有很多。
首先提出這個觀點的英國哲學家伯特蘭 · 羅素 · 布朗，他很好的總結了這個觀點： “這個世界的問題在於，愚蠢的人自以為是，而聰明的人則充滿懷疑。”
基本上，我們所有人都以這樣或那樣的方式對自己能力的極限有著相當糟糕的把握。
We often suffer from loneliness and depression
*** 我們常常感到孤獨和沮喪 ***
As Brookings Institution researcher Carol Graham explained to the Washington Post, “Those with more intelligence and the capacity to use it… are less likely to spend so much time socializing because they are focused on some other longer-term obxtive.”Whenever I realize I don’t carry the same worries as my peers, I tend to stay on my own. Or worse, I imprison myself in my own depressed state. I am always analyzing problems I can’t solve in my mind which leads to deeper depression.
正如布魯金斯學會研究員格雷厄姆向《華盛頓郵報》解釋的那樣，
“ 那些擁有更多智力和更會運用自己能力的人...... 不太可能花那麼多時間社交，因為他們專注於其它一些長期目標。”
每當我意識到自己沒有同齡人一樣的成長憂慮時，我就傾向於一個人獨處。
或者更糟糕的是，我把自己囚禁在自己的抑鬱狀態之中，我總是在分析那些我腦子裡無法解決的問題，這會導致更深的抑鬱。

In conclusion…
總之。。。。
We try to avoid unsatisfactory feelings by hanging out in our own imagination most of the time. Our perspective is completely different from that of others. People find it hard to understand us, and that’s because we’re a very niche group. They’re simply not used to our type.We all have our own major flaws. The most important thing is that you know what they are and continue to work on them.I have accepted who I am and all the baggage that comes with it. If you’re in a similar situation, you should do the same. If you personally know anyone in a similar situation, at least now you can understand them a bit better.
為了避免讓人產生不滿意的感覺，我們大部分時間都在自己的想象中度過。
我們的觀點與其他人的觀點完全不同，人們發現很難理解我們，因為我們是一個非常小眾的群體，他們完全不習慣我們這種類型的人。
我們都有自己的缺點， 最重要的是，你明明知道缺點是什麼，仍然不得不放任。
我已經接受了我是誰，以及隨之而來的所有包袱，如果你處於類似的情況，你也應該這樣做。
如果你認識任何有類似處境的人，至少現在你能更好地理解他們。

Stay humble.

——保持謙遜。

What an outpouring of commentary your remarks prompted. I read patiently on and on, but never found what I was looking for.
Here tis: there are highly intelligent people. (I was cursed in parochial school with the statement by testers my IQ is 160. Ever since, there seems to be a movement to dispute IQ exists.) The unmentioned, by you or any responder, is another minority group: the HSP. The highly sensitive person.
It has been my observation over life that the two conditions are often found together. The brighter you are, the thinner your skin. (Modern researchers assure us HSP is a condition, not a disability. Logic suggests high intelligence is a condition as well.)
The highly intelligent see more things with sharp edges. The highly sensitive are wounded by the sharp edges. Which leads to self-preservational behaviors, or in the extreme to something akin to post-traumatic stress disorder.

“The most intelligent men, like the strongest, find their happiness where others would find only disaster: in the labyrinth, in being hard with themselves and with others, in effort; their delight is in self-mastery; in them asceticism becomes second nature, a necessity, an instinct. They regard a difficult task as a privilege; it is to them a recreation to play with burdens that would crush all others.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
”最聰明的人，像最強壯的人一樣，在別人只能找到災難的地方找到他們的幸福：在迷宮裡，在對待自己和別人的艱難中，在努力中 ; 他們的快樂在於自我掌控 ; 在他們身上，禁慾主義成為第二天性，一種必要，一種本能。他們把困難的任務視為一種特權，對他們來說，玩弄會壓垮所有其他人的負擔是一種消遣。”

Jordan Elizabeth
This article is really defeatist—it would seem that many highly intelligent people are either failing to make their own emotional well-being a priority, or don’t have the personal responsibility to actually enact positive changes in their lives.
It’s much easier to point to your intellect as the source of your misery (and as a result, accept that your condition in life is inevitable) than it is to accept that your mental state is a result of your outlook.
這篇文章真的很失敗主義——看起來，許多高智商的人要麼沒有把自己的情感幸福放在首位，要麼沒有在生活中實現積極改變的責任感。
把你的智力視為你痛苦的根源，要比接受你的精神狀態是由於你的觀念所致要容易得多 ( 因此，接受你目前的生活狀況是不可避免的 )。
Dave Volek
I’m not sure I’m highly intelligent, having barely scraped to get my bachelor’s degree. But I do see things differently than most people. It is hard to hold a good conversation on just about anything. People say I overthink things. But not really: we will never get all the facts and perspectives we really need, so there is a practical time to make a decision and move forward. I find it very difficult to make a big decision without formulating and uating several options. Most people seem to prefer going with the first thing that comes in their head.
Lonely? More than a little bit.
Is my romantic partner suffering? Probably. But she knows I’m trying.
我不確定自己是不是高智商，因為我的學士學位都是勉強拿到的。
但我的看法與大多數人不同，幾乎任何事情都很難與人進行良好的交談，人們說我想太多了。但事實並非如此：
我們永遠不會得到我們真正需要的所有事實和觀點，只能違心做出決定並向前邁進，我發現自己在沒有制定和評估幾個選項的情況下很難做出一個重大決定，大多數人似乎更喜歡腦子裡出現的第一個想法。
孤獨嗎？不止一點點。
我的另一半在受苦嗎？可能，但她知道我在努力。
John Griswold
Inaccurate premise, that highly intelligent people are miserable. Some are, some aren’t. I’ve experienced some of what you describe, it’s definitely frustrating to have difficulty finding conversation with people who can understand what you’re saying. Being a member of a minority is usually difficult in some way. But much of what you describe is due to low intelligence, specifically low emotional intelligence.

Casen Davis
I think intelligence is one of those words that gets used in so many different ways that it almost has no meaning anymore. Highly intelligent in what way? I get the sense that you are referring to raw processing power and nothing more. I think intelligence means a bit more than that however. Sure intelligence requires raw processing power, but it also requires that one knows how to use that power effectively.
If you use all the smarts in the world to come to lousy conclusions, then you aren’t so intelligent are you?
I do think folks with raw processing power can end up with a lot of anxiety and depression because their mind moves fast, and they get stuck in powerful rumination cycles that lead nowhere fruitful. Their mind grabs on to large systemic ideas, connects dots far and wide, and gets so busy out in la-la land that it misses what’s plain to see!
In conclusion, I think we need a new word for this. Maybe big-left-brained or mathematically fast, or… I don’t know what. Decidedly not intelligent.
我認為是智力一個被用在如此多不同方面的詞彙，以至於它幾乎沒有任何意義。
哪方面的高智商？ 我感覺你指的是原始的處理能力，僅此而已。
然而，我認為智力的意義遠不止於此。
當然，智力需要原始的處理能力，但它也需要一個人知道如何有效地使用這種能力。
如果你利用世界上所有的聰明才智得出糟糕的結論，那麼你並不算高智商，不是嗎？
我確實認為擁有高度原始處理能力的人最終會有很多焦慮和抑鬱，因為他們的思維轉得很快，他們會陷入強大的反芻循環，最終毫無結果。
他們的思維牢牢抓住了大量的系統性思想，把各個點連接得又遠又寬，大腦忙得不可開交，以至於忽略了那些顯而易見的東西！
總而言之，我認為我們需要一個新詞來描述這種情況，也許是“強勢左腦”或者“快速運算能力”。。 我不知道。。。但顯然不是“智商”。
