Ah thanks guys, I was really struggling with these tasks!
Also, @Vibhansh_Alok shows the true beauty of these problems. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes there is another answer besides the obvious one.
Thanks for appreciation...

Yeah, I've been reminded of that before "you worry too much about what others are thinking... they're probably not thinking about you at all!" that sort of thing.
Sure, you can tell me more if you want. I often come across as argumentative on the forums but I like to think I'm actually a nice guy heh. In other words I wont try to start a fight with you or anything like that.
I think we're quite the same. I too may sound like someone who's out there to start an argument but I just like when things are fair and clear and justice is served when I feel needs to. And it doesn't matter how small or big the subject is.
People have often questioned me why I can be so passionate about 'meaningless things'. Well, those things actually do have meaning, because it's something positive that I can spend the time with so as to not think about the things that bother me. I know I should think about them, but at this point in time nothing really seems to work for me.
Society is hard. I've had times where I got so frustrated about myself that I felt like dying, or preferably 'not living in this complicated world'. It's both being misunderstood myself and me not understanding how others seem to cope with things much easier than me.
Just took a shower and had a panic attack about me no way in hell able to achieve the things I dream of. Those attacks are really painful; they're like a smack in the face for me but because the smack is so painful, I don't take advice from it, rather just stay in my own safe shell.
Just about all the little things in life are a struggle for me so I'm regularly exposed to things I'm afraid of doing. I always tell myself it's because I'm lazy, because I don't want to play the victim card. People can tell me it's not true but I simply won't believe it.
These are some of the things that go around in my head. CONSTANTLY. It's not fun. But then again I don't want to make it sound like I'm having a terrible life when there are others who have the same and probably worse. Then again that may not be true. Uurgh.

What is a mediocre accomplishment?

That's up to you and your goals.

I did some iq tests before which i found on internet. But never believed the results.
A person may be very good at playing violin but may be bad at math and geometry. She understands ryhthm and how they fit together.. this is a sort of intelligence.
IQ tests are just testing your calculation and geometry. Intelligence is more than that.

The scary part about your comments is that in my case, you are right for the wrong reasons. A high IQ is not the only thing I've been diagnosed with, but I'd rather not go into the details on that one because I've been in these discussions before and they get quite toxic.
"some people whose IQ is measured high don't think well", you said. The thing is that gifted people think a LOT. I can try to respond speaking from experience but for most topics I do not know if it's mostly because of a high IQ or of the other things, but I do know that the thinking things over and over in your head is enhanced by a brain that's 'on' all the time. These thoughts are actually mostly negative things that spiral inside someone's head, not necessarily the positive things, for those have already circled in our head and got a good result. This is due to perfectionism, something very common amongst gifted people.
A reason for people with a high IQ to be more socially distanced than others can be very difficult is likely not because of us enjoying our mental world. Ironically, the other side is more likely to be true, which is that we see past our shortcomings and are therefore very cautious and insecure - also because of perfectionism.
And I don't automatically assume I'm right, if I can speak for myself. I'm almost always doubting myself, what I do and what I say, and about 90% of the time I feel regret for what I have done and what I think I should have done.
Most of us people with a very high IQ have a feeling of being misunderstood because we think quite literally at another level than others. It's this feeling of being misunderstood that's an underlying factor behind all our insecurities in life. But to say that's because of a very high IQ alone is quite a controversial and disturbing thing to say, especially to someone who endures these mental pains.
Just about everything you said in #22 is something I feel very offended by because it is this prejudice that we fear others have, and have therefore misunderstood us. We are struggling, not avoiding. I'd deem it a description of someone with a very deeply rooted passion. If there's anything people with a high IQ would not want is to boost their own ego because we are well aware of others around us also having feelings and opinions.
Hi, anybody can talk to me quite safely unless they make it toxic. Some people do that because it's part of their personality make-up and that's part of what I was referring to. Just as an aside, it's very common for people to believe that they're only focussing on the concepts and ideas whereas their tone indicates that they're making a passive-aggressive attack. I would say it's connected to a deep-seated insecurity, which is almost always denied. Obviously, in your case, you're being up-front about your feelings and that isn't the case at all.
However, I'm sure I meant my comments as an off-the-cuff suggestion as to possible reasons why people who are clever but who maybe haven't developed the intelligence to guide it can get into emotional difficulties very easily. I wasn't really talking about people with a very high "IQ" so I do think that you misunderstood me. I do understand the meaning of the feeling of what it's like to think brilliantly, or however you want to try to communicate what you're talking about. I honestly wasn't referring to that, provided the brilliant thinking is well-guided by the emotions, of course.

My name doesn't matter either then, at the very most it proves I don't take chess that seriously, but I think the fact you're rated 670 means you don't either.
once i did an iq test when i was 7 my iq varied in different things like in one activity my iq was like 160 or something in another it was only 90
lol ur still the best history teacher ive had
