I am (like probably most people here) someone that searches for the truth. I have been through some things in my life that have hardened me mentally and have, on the way, also acquired enough people knowledge to pretty much see through people.
However, when I interact with people, it's because I want to find the truth. I want to see perspectives that are different from my own until the point that I am as developed of a person as I can be.
I started university, and Im trying to make friends, but it's almost impossible. Sure, people are kind, and they're not some turbo autists or anything, but they are so f*ing shallow and narrowminded. They have been through nothing in their life, most live with their parents, and they have absolutely no knowledge, apart from what they've been fed by the mainstream and school.
That isn't necessarily bad because they can't help it, but... the whole conversation consists of talking without saying anything. It's to say things that are accepted by as many people as possible. Ultra conformists. It's mentally tiring. It's a bit like talking to NPCs. There is also no fun aspect to it, which would make a conversation not necessarily need to be useful. The convo simply lacks any added benefit.
Am I too high IQ, or am I simply autistic?
I can't relate to these people. They're very childish and narrowminded. They don't even let you finish your sentence. No depth at all. "Keep the convo as shallow and simple as possible" seems to be their default mode.
Does anyone have any similar experience?
