not sure what kind of people you met, but they seemed very unhappy and too deep of themselves. People with High IQ who I met were deeply unhappy as undiagnosed and could not understand many things about the world around them. Having an IQ too high made them go through a lot of suffering, from bullying in school (not form marks but from awkwardness) and then later at work feeling always ununderstood. For high IQ people social missunderstanding is a huge issue, and since having greater IQ is perceived as a positive thing they get no comprension but envy or hate or are treated as if they were pretending or be arrogant. Suicide rates, substance abuse, and failure to build a happy live is huge in a very large percentage of gifted people.
