Geniuses and innovative thinkers often put things together in unexpected ways, reason from analogies that few others see intuitively, and see patterns that no else thinks to look for at first glance. In a sense, most people possessed of genius have their pattern detection cranked up to 11 while the rest of us cruise through life set to a comfortable four or five. The real challenge of genius then, is learning to effectively dismiss the false positives and not allow oneself to become bogged down in the thousands of spurious relationships that one may think one sees on a daily basis; and not just in professional work, but on the street, in one's personal life, and in the chance words and expressions of other people. Trying to "solve" everyday life ends up looking more like paranoid schizophrenia than brilliance.

I honestly end up ...at this point of tyme in my life just shrugging it off. I mean sure I run into so many who are not up to the task of living life happy. No matter what level of intelligence they have given up trying to be happy and get bogged down in the minutia.
All of my friends on the other hand are busy texting each other with all the fun things we can do together.
So many fun things to do with fun loving people who are not bogged down.
