Do you think genius are lonely?

I think that all highly intelligent people often have trouble maintaining interpersonal relationships as they are often busy doing something brilliant and spending less time socializing. Also, if the average person can't hold a conversation on the same level it does leave little to talk about once pleasant niceties have been exchanged. I do not believe that being a "genius" means one will be lonely, however. Besides, there are plenty of non-genius people in the world who are terribly lonely for one reason or another.

In my opinion I think neither, because as humans we are able to adapt in order for us to form effective business and personal relationships.. we can alter our communication skills to suit another but not on a permanent basis-of course! Such as: trying to teach someone to understand a mathematical equation.. If you dont have a substantial amount of knowledge on a topic matter, you tend to shy away from any related arising conversation/discussion. I would never wish to be a genius..I enjoy the art of learning too much, I do admire those of a higher intellect, not so much envy them..and as for being lonely- this is dependent on their personality..

Genius people can be lonely at times but I guess their state of solitude contributes to their focus and breakthroughs that help them understand their studies more intensely and more carefully. Being alone doesn't mean that they are lonely. They find the comfort of being one with their mind as a means of exuding their greatest talents that their minds can give. Some of these genius find it more meaningful to mingle with other geniuses as well. As the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together. Well, all I can say is being a genius is a gift. Being alone most of the time doesn't mean that you are lonely. Most geniuses have corresponded to other geniuses as well and it's their own sense of friendship and camaraderie. I envy their intellect. I would have loved to be a genius and at the same time a friendly person. One who can still empathize with other people of average intelligence but I guess, it's way too impossible to have both.

Hmmm...I have to disagree with this one. Geniuses are also human and they need human partners. With this, they definitely have the skills to look for their own mate which can be compatible for them. However, most geniuses end up with their coworker genius developed whenever both of them are doing research or experimenting in the lab. Also, most geniuses tend to be rich and have a nice life which can be a great catch for their partner. No, I don't think they are lonely. Loneliness is subjective and I think whenever they do their thing they always find satisfaction and loneliness won't be an option to them.

When I was two I learned how to read. Then when I started going to school I could already read huge chapter books. I was labeled a 'genious'. I found it veryt difficult to maitain relationships and struggled with this for years. I eventually became a person of average intelligence. To answer this question, no I wish I wasn't, I do not envy them, and yes they are lonely.

I think Genius are lonely because they think that there all that and they push people away so they have no friends and they create imaginary friends

I do wish I was a genius, I admire them for their intellect more than I envy them, and I don't think they are all lonely. I try not to generalize. I'm sure not all geniuses go around talking about science 24/7. I'm also sure that they have varied interests, just like people of different education levels do. I do acknowledge that conversations can be strained and limited depending on education level however. I'm sure that while they may enjoy everyday banter, they also will have that need to talk about other more intellectual subjects. I can't say whether it's easy or difficult for them to meet people on their same level, but thanks to the internet I think it's easier to find people more similar who have similar interests, so they don't have to feel completely isolated and starved for intellectual conversation and stimulation.

sometimes! I guess like some other people. You know what, some people who is really brainy always experience "misundertood" by the others. Because they have different approach to some things. And when that things happened very often then prefer not to talk again. And keep it to themselves. So I guess they are lonely.

yes i wish i was born as a genius, no i don't envy genius people because they have gift. no i don't think they are lonely but i think many genius people are loner. Most of them more interested in science than interact with people.
