Man. This sounds like 14 year old me thinking I'm just so beyond everybodys mental capacity and that's why I am lonely.
- elhudy 5y agoI didn’t mean to come off as pretentious. In fact on HN i often feel inadequate! I’m not lonely at all - I’ve built a huge support community over the years and have friends all over the world. I don’t think I’m beyond everyone’s mental capacity, but I’m certainly beyond most people in terms of curiosity and fascination for subjects beyond general conversation. I’ve gotten better at driving conversation to deeper places, and surrounding myself with people who enjoy doing the same. But it’s often easier at social events to drink and stop caring.
