"I would never allow that to happen again. You can't get that image out your head. He was doing it so good I said, 'I know she don't want this after that.' He in there dog walking her. In full control of your old lady. I damn near called the police. I thought he was an intruder. I was curled up in the bed for 3 days straight. I never got over the pain. ... He swung a little harder than me.” - @HaHaDavis
High intelligence often comes with heightened pattern recognition. You start noticing social masks, forced conversations, performative friendships, hidden motives, emotional immaturity, and energy that feels draining instead of nourishing. Many highly intelligent people also have more active nervous systems, deeper inner worlds, and lower tolerance for superficial stimulation, so solitude can feel safer than constantly shrinking themselves to fit environments that don't feel aligned.
