Have you ever wondered why the smart kid in class chose to be alone? Could it be they think they’re better than everyone else or maybe they just don’t want to deal with everyone else’s bullshit?
Research that was published in the British Journal of Psychology in February showed that smarter people are actually happier being alone. This is something that can be traced back to the savanna theory of happiness. By analyzing the statistics and demographics of a survey done including 15,000 adults it was brought to the light that people who lived in areas with more people per unit were much less happy than those who were in the opposite situation.
More intelligent individuals were found to be less happy when they were forced to socialize with their friends more frequently than they normally would. Maybe the smart person isn’t trying to avoid people because they’re snooty maybe they just want to do what it takes to make themselves happy. Smarter people are able to and have always been able to adapt to new things and take on a new sense of normal so it comes to no surprise that they would be more content when they aren’t surrounded by others.
That being said this is just a theory with evidence from a survey, so it is not conclusive but it is quite interesting to think about. How may smart people do you know that seem to be loners? Could there be some real truth behind this? Just because someone doesn’t have many friends doesn’t mean they are unhappy. If you have few friends you could just be overly intelligent.
