Anyone else here so intelligent that they scare people? Are there any books/poems for this feel? Ever since I was little, I have always terrified my parents with my cognitive abilities. When I was 8, I once verbally destroyed my father in an argument so badly that our relationship has never been the same since that day. My teachers have always disliked me to a certain degree because I terrified them absolutely terrified them with my intelligence and knowledge, and of course, one hates what one fears.
When I was in an English class in high school, I remember monologuing about Shakespeare as the jaws of my teacher and fellow students dropped, their eyes wide and afraid because of the sheer depth and profundity of my intelligence.
In university, I have learned to tamp down my intellect, lest it scare off my possible sexual conquests, connections and professors. Now I know what you’re thinking – scaring off sexual conquests with your fucking mind? It should be the other way around, shouldn’t it? I too, felt, since I was young, that that should be the case and in some instances perhaps it may be but in my own my intellect is beyond the erotic, so fearsome that the people in my vicinity simple cannot withstand it without shivering in fear or apprehension: can a man like this truly exist? What is this man capable of? Can the human brain comprehend such a mind?
