Ever since I was a kid I knew I was smarter then the other children. I learned to read at 5, and started to read all sorts of books - novels, stories, poems and could immediately recite them back to the amazement of adults. When I started school, I thought it was boring, for a whole year we learned the letters and how to read, but since I already knew that, I would get very impatient in class, I also couldn't believe how the other kids were so dumb and struggled learning simple stuff, even after several years of school they would read with difficulty and didn't really understand what they were reading...
As years passed by, I started to study more complicated stuff: philosophy, religion, history, science, etc., I would ask too many questions in class and the teachers would get impatient and annoyed because they couldn't answer my questions, I debated them on everything, slowly people started to avoid me, I made them feel inadequate, they couldn't explain what they were doing or acting in a certain why, I would ask them about God, religion, the purpose of life, all sorts of things that would force them to think, but it only made them squirm, they didn't feel comfortable thinking or having their views about life destroyed by cold, logical arguments.
In the end, my superior intellect isolated me from the other people and I think if I were instead just like all the other mediocre humans, at least I would have been more happy with life.
