Now by rights i SHOULD be a nerd with an IQ like that i was born to be a nerd, so why the fkk arent i a nerd !!
I want to be one, im so lazy when it comes to school work, if i could be bothered doing any study or schoolwork id get a UAI of 200
I wish i was a nerd !! Well not in the geek way but the way they can study so hard.
I feel im going to get through life knowing that ive wasted it because of my potential, but failure to launch.
First of all, I don't think there's room for egoism. Secondly, what I don't understand is how by "rights" you should be a nerd eventhough you have a rediculously high IQ. You have the rights. It's your lack of determination that doesn't get to where you want to be...assuming you desire to be with the 'high' UAI "smart" people range to gain that "smartness" identity, since you implied "nerds" to be a separate race of radical human beings.
That's a great IQ, but that's definitely not the thing that should keep you motivated to do well in school or in life in general. Neither should you depend on it to "get through life" nor should you use it as an excuse for not trying in life. People emphasise too much on IQ - rational thinking - when it actually means nothing when you don't appreciate the other centre most important things in "life". You need to balance your life. Intelligence only actually matters if you've grasped the true range of skills and abilities in life. IQ on its own has no potential whatsoever. You don't need a high IQ to "get through life".
Instead of dreaming, complaining and publicising about your current life and your future tragedies in life, do something about it. In general the 'high' IQ types are usually skilful in the realm of mind, but are also inept in the personal world. If you feel that you're going to grieve over the issue of personal self-control to be a "nerd", then I suggest you be realistic and do something about it. With a 'high' IQ like that, it's expected for you to get that across your 'head'. 'Think' about it. You should be a "pro" at that.
