i can relate to this. when talking with more simple-minded people you have to simplify your speech. you have to get your point across with as few words as possible. you can't use hypotheticals because they assume you are just declaring your intent, when it's often just sarcasm. you always have to explain that it was a joke... until you stop joking altogether, for your own good. that's why alcohol is so appealing sometimes because it lowers my level and i start talking and thinking like a normal person after a few beers, and can finally relate to them for a short while. the problem is that normal people too fall to an even lower level of awareness when drinking, and some of the already slow people start acting like literal animals. high iqs wouldn't be a problem if we were able to find people on a similar level to socialize with to not feel isolated. the problem is that the traditionally high iq environments like higher education and academia have been flooded with midwits because we've been lowering academic standards so stupid people don't feel excluded.
