I don’t know if this is the right place to post but, can someone tell me what tf to do? I feel incredibly alone because…

I really don’t want to come off as narcissistic so apologies if I do but can someone help me out?

Okay, so I’m 22 years old and I don’t know how else to put this without coming off as a total egotistical prick, but I am intelligent, like, really intelligent, not academically as such, but emotionally, spiritually, that sort of thing. Im well read, extremely well researched, I can understand nuance and read deep between the lines. I analyse everything, I have a passion for cult classic film and media analysis, I absolutely adore music, mostly 60s-70s rock n roll, psychedelic rock, but I also love 80s-2000s punk rock and it’s sub genres, i also love indie bands too but I am fascinated by the progression of rock music and it’s history and how for example blues in the 40s became rock as we know it today. I’m able to pick up on the slightest details in early rock music that was the blueprint for more modern rock (just an example) and I absolutely love analysing and finding the meaning and morals behind each film I watch (mostly psychological thrillers. I enjoy films such as the lobster, the killing of a sacred deer, Trainspotting, the panic in needle park and other artsy films like that with a deeper meaning.) anyway, enough of that. The one thing that really makes me truly believe that I’m an intellectual is that everywhere I go, not one adult (by adult I mean someone in their 30+ and the elderly) all seem to be incredibly one dimensional and clueless in everything apart from maybe some more experience with things like being independent or careers, but other than that, they’re not full of wisdom in the slightest, they’re not in any way emotionally intelligent because they grew up in a time when psychology wasn’t even talked about (I’m referring to baby boomers predominantly) and I feel as if I have to dumb myself down when conversing with them as they just don’t seem to grasp anything I say, it’s like their outlook on life is purely centred around hard graft and being family oriented and they don’t have any sort of actual personality and they seem disinterested or even confused when I try and discuss anything even slightly more complex with them. Even their vocabulary is shockingly narrow. And they are ignorant on many basic subjects like computer skills, music, TV, even current news. it’s as if they live in a bubble. Another thing that makes me convinced I’m an intellectual is my passion for philosophy, psychology, existentialism and politics, which most people my age couldn’t give a damn about. I’m trying extremely hard not to brag right now but I have been told by others that my intelligence is off the charts, as a child I was a gifted kid, I’ve been told I’m incredibly articulate and a very deep thinker with a quote “beautiful mind” another thing common with intellectuals which is another reason I believe I am one is that I have suffered with mental illness and drug addiction (BPD, depression and anxiety and heroin) which is extremely common in those considered intellectual.

Now that’s out the way, here’s my question which I hope can be answered.

If I am in fact an intellectual, and let’s I assume I am, why do I feel so isolated? Why do I feel like I’m the only one who has depth? Why does it feel like everyone around me are one dimensional and why are the elders around me not so wise and experienced as they’re supposed to be? I despise my intelligence because it’s incredibly lonely with my mind. I feel as if the spotlight is always on me in group settings because people always praise me for my “way with words” and how I’m able to “speak so eloquently” and how I “have such an ability to phrase complex thoughts” and I can’t help it, it’s just how I am. And it sucks. It’s lonely. I feel like the people around me can’t shine because the second I open my mouth, people love the way I speak about things with so much informed detail. Even my doctor was blown away by my chemistry knowledge and knowledge of where the drug supply comes from and how I used all the correct terminology (going back to my heroin use) I feel incredibly alone. I feel like I can’t relate to those around me, even my friends who I love dearly. I feel as if I have to dumb myself down. Sometimes I suspect maybe I’m on the spectrum but apart from my intelligence and love for knowledge, I don’t meet the diagnostic criteria. Anyway, I guess my main question would be “how, as an intellectual, do I stop feeling isolated due to feeling like others around me are one dimensional (I rather not describe them as dumb, because for the most part, that’s innacurate) and why do I feel this way?”

Thanks guys and sorry for the long post.

We all know that Lightning McQueen is a car. So, would he need life insurance or car insurance?

Since work takes time from you that you won’t get back, jobs should automatically pay more. Workers are essentially fossil fuel for company engines.

Is telling a half truth more hurtful than lying

Say you are insecure about a situation and a person calms you by telling you a half truth Then later you find out the full truth In this case, relationship breaking

Jesus was a dick.

I just came across clips of this series about Jesus called "The Chosen" on YouTube. Most of them involve the miracles that Jesus performed (the feeding of the masses with the loaves and fish, the healing of the leper, etc). This smug smiley mf is always keeping his apostles (or whatever they are) on their toes, and for what reason?

  • Dude is approached by a leper and his boys are understandably like "that dude is diseased, keep away, don't breathe it in!" Jesus presses on and gets all close, but does end up healing the man, surprising them all. They were concerned for his health and he ignored them to perform a miracle that they didn't know he was gonna do.

  • He's walking through town and this girl dies. He goes to her house where family members are weeping and mourning and he's like "shut up you criers, she's not dead, she's just sleeping! Family members, understandably, are pissed at him for making such a cruel joke. Then he has the audacity to order them out of their own home. He goes upstairs and then raises her from the dead. He coulda said some shit about that and it wouldn't have become such a hostile situation. Then he's like "don't tell anyone about this by the way." And what about all the family members who SAW HER FUCKING DIE? What do they say to them? That yeah, she actually was just asleep, trust us bro? Sorry for making you think she was dead?

  • Dude tells his boys to take the five loaves and two fish and divide them into other baskets and they're understandably like "what's changed? Does this help somehow?" These guys don't wanna look like cruel idiots for telling the crowd "oh yeah we can feed you with this pittance of food." They open the baskets to find out that, thankfully, Jesus has multiplied the food in enough amounts to feed the crowd. Why can't this guy warn his boys that he's about to do some supernatural shit, so that they don't think they're gonna look like deranged assholes? Would save time and grief.

  • And then there's this time where he's in a tight crowd and a woman is healed by merely touching the hem of his clothes for a second. Jesus is like "who the hell touched me?" His boys are like "dude there's a shitload of people here everyone's touching you." Jesus goes "nah but someone touched me, I felt some power come out of me." Is he in control of his abilities or is this fucking guy like a live wire? Does he have miracle incontinence? Other times it seems like he controls when he performs miracles but in this case someone can get involuntarily Jesus'd by touching him? Could someone accidentally get turned to wine because they bump shoulders with him? If enough people touched him simultaneously, could they drain him of his powers? Or did he know that this woman was going to touch him, and he's just being a cryptic asshole for reasons unknown, perhaps for his own entertainment?

No wonder the Romans nailed this guy to a cross.

Fnaf shaggy theory.

Ok it’s 3:22 am where I am and I haven’t slept at all, but my friends put on the fnaf movie and thinking back to how the guy who played in the live action scooby doo movie as SHAGGY gave me a very funny weird dark theory. Now here me out. After all the years of mystery’s and crimes shaggy had witnessed it started to drive him mad. killer after villain, villain after killer, witnessing the crimes get more Heynis, after all the years he begins to break slwoly till eventually he snaps and begins to turn into the one thing he hated and was against most. A MASKED VILLAIN . and of what? The one thing that loved his character the most.. Kids!! but like actually taking to time to re watch the fnaf movie after watching the live action scooby doo movie.. and let it click when u see his character play the villain. This story plot line would’ve been sick but idk maybe that’s just me… let me know man

Collective Use of Democratic Methods to Obtain UAP Disclosure

The UAP community now has members of congress, military leaders, respected members of the academic community, and journalists fighting for disclosure.

The problem is that the citizens need help and leadership to understand their role in achieving our shared goal.

What this cause needs is a coherent collaboration between American citizens, government officials from both sides of the isle, the academic community, military leaders and members of the media to collectively use methods of democracy on strategic days so the American public and our elected officials can get the information we need to verify or disprove David Grusch claims that unelected officials are hiding non human intelligent being’s crafts and non human intelligent being’s bodies from taxpayers and our elected officials.

I suggest a public service campaign lead by bipartisan group of congress members and prominent people taking UAPs seriously.

A campaign with 7 goals

    1. Inform the public of the UAP situation
    1. Get proper media attention on UAP situation
    1. Inform American citizens on their role in democracy and the democratic methods they can use to create change
    1. Get our academic community/ universities taking UAPs seriously and participating in disclosure
    1. Establish strategic days to collective exercise these democratic methods
    1. Get our elected officials, and the public the information we need to verify or to disprove UAP whistle blower claims of NHI craft and NHI bodies
    1. And finally, Demonstrate that the democratic process is something we can trust

Jan 6 is an example of a country with citizens who don’t know that democracy has more power than violence.

A lot of these democratic methods can be exercised peacefully online, from home. What I think may be missing is the right group of people leading the citizens who support them to collectively use these democratic methods.

I propose that this campaign be lead by Tim Burchett, Anna Paulina Luna, Andy Ogles, Eric Burlison, Ralph Norman, Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez, John Podesta, Christopher Melon, Lou Elizondo, David Grusch, David Fravor, Ryan Graves, Tim Gallaudet, Jacques Vallee, Bob Lazar, Garry Nolan, Avi loeb, Michio Kaku , Hal Puthoff George Knapp, Jeremy Corbell , Chris Cuomo, and Tucker Carlson.

We need the collective participation of the American citizens with us on this issue.

A collaboration and unification between American citizens, government officials from both sides of the isle, the academic community, military leaders and members of the media to collectively use methods of democracy on strategic days so the American public and our elected officials can get the information we need to verify or disprove David Grusch claims that unelected officials are hiding non human intelligent being’s crafts and non human intelligent being’s bodies from taxpayers and our elected officials.

We all want more public hearings, reports, whistle blower testimonies, and the appropriate people Subpoenaed so we can get to the bottom of this. Everyone who wants this goal achieved needs to unify and use democracy to get it done.

Online protests?

Gran Turismo 4 shoe car was built in 2022 in the games lore?

I just thought about it as something like how in the 70's they thought 1999 was far enough in the future for sci-fi TV, and in 2004 polyphony thought 2022 was far enough away for a future car.

Life

Nothing really matters, the universe is too big for someone like me to do anything. But it’s that fact that makes life worth living, these years are the slowest and you can’t do anything about that. But after this life is a game you can do anything. This is my life and I’m going to live it. I am truly happy some days are not the best but that doesn’t make up your life. Your life is worth living

it's dumb but humor me please

so humanity as a whole has achieved a level 0.7 type civilisation and there are supposed aliens or lizards or whatever living among us, just keep that with you for a bit, so there is also a click that when it strikes midnight humanity will no longer exist but what I'm thinking is that the clock is like the New York one where when it strikes midnight that'd when we advance to a type one civilisation and humanity no longer exists because these other beings will come forward to us and reveal themselves and we will form a union or whatever where they are us and we are them making us something new and better.

idk tell me your thought or idea that come to you reading this because it's so dumb it's making sense.

I think there are Facebook reels that'd make pretty good TV shows...

There are so many great reels such as pages that'd probably be great to end up as a TV show... I'd totally love to watch skits like Awkard Puppets, Cyanide and Happiness, The Land Of Boggs, Dark Tales, and Nutshell Animations turn into TV shows... Heck... Even The Good Advice Cupcake, Sad Nuggie, Tubby Nugget, Lennie, Channelate, and more of them sound great... Maybe even more than that of course... They're just so entertaining than some of the shows that are still going presently...

Feelings

So I'm doing night shift in corporate there's a group of 'Friends' I have who always criticised me for literally everything be it sports be it my eating habits be it my working habits like I'm not good at sports say it I'm worst amongst them but that doesn't have them ryt to taunt me every freaking time. When I work extra to avoid them n also I'm only good in Work nothing else...they have problem with that also. There's a difference between healthy criticism n bullying n clearly this is bullying. There r other people as well when I saw their friendships like everyone loves each other everyone picks each other care support but I'm never the who get loved n cared n I try so hard but I'm never the one. Maybe I failed as a person I'm at my lowest now I don't know whom to call actually I don't have anyone to call I'm a mess I'm a failure

Good morning

I’m writing this because after months upon months of feeling lonely I guess ? I’ve accepted the loneliness and I feel more driven , more myself , more in depth with myself , last time I was here I was feeling depressed and sad about my current state of mind and where I was in life , I can say confidently that the grass is greener on the other side it just takes a while to realize this
