I'm not sure if the OP is the original author. It looks like the original author is only 14 years old. They may have picked up programming skills and possibly have higher IQ compared to their classmates or peers. It can often make it difficult to connect with others in the social circle. Programming was probably fun and intellectually challenging in the beginning but now the author might find it a boring. But with age, hopefully they'll understand that there are enough mysteries in the world to uncover and challenge their intellect. Good luck.

IQ is not a method for measuring general intelligence, so there is no way to better assess the situation without perpetuating the myth that IQ is a method for measuring general intelligence

  You're not wrong. But I don't think I claimed anywhere that IQ is a measure of general intelligence. Neither does it mean that people with higher IQ will necessarily be more successful. But being at the extreme ends of IQ spectrum can be a huge barrier to communication between two individuals.

    agreed, you can have high IQ but still suck at everything and be lazy and unproductive if i was given a choice between being smarter and being more persistent i would’ve choose the latter piano lessons actually forced me to be persistent

For a 14 year-old, they seem very non-cringey, see e.g. this: https://tsk.bearblog.dev/why-tsuki/ https://tsk.bearblog.dev/why-tsuki/ I am a bit impressed.

i started programming at age of 12 in school and got paid with 14 through my first internship luckily for me the show never stopped and i don’t regret missing parties and not connecting to others the difference between me and my peers today is that i can afford to do whatever whenever, because i don’t have to worry about money and for them this luxury was only available temporarily and they didn’t spent that time wisely to build useful set of skills (in their teens) the only thing that changed for me is what i program and for who but i kinda don’t get how programming can be boring when there’s so much you can do

  > they didn’t spent that time wisely to build useful set of skills (in their teens) I learnt how to program in my teens. I attribute this to being of a particular mind that liked it. This was fortunate as it also happened later to be a highly marketable skill. I don't attribute it as being vastly more conscientious or knowledgeable about potential future earning avenues than my peers.
