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.
Major cheat code in life: Be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.

i dislike being around people who lack emotional intelligence and self regulation. it just irks my soul. if you cannot see things outside of yourself and how you’re harming others, you will never evolve. intention has nothing to do with impact
Draymond Green says the Jaylen Brown situation threw him for a loop:
“I’m just like all of a sudden a guy being smart is an issue. Like, by the way, I think I’m pretty smart individual. I think I got a pretty decent head on my shoulders. Jaylen Brown is brilliant. I don’t pretend to be that smart. I don’t want anybody to think I think I’m that smart, but he is like he actually is that smart. And when I say smart, right, like as you know, there’s book smarts, there’s street smarts, there’s so many different type of smarts when you’re talking smart. But the smart that Jaylen Brown is, he’s book smart. He’s street smart. The things that he knows and that he understands.”

Get a haircut every 2 weeks to stay sharp, wait 5 secs before answering the phone to control the rhythm, always arrive 15 mins early, stay away from free lunches, never talk about people who aren't in the room, and when anger rises, wait 10 mins before reacting. These habits may look rigid, but they're the hidden discipline of the elite.
Ex NFL player, Brandon Marshall LOSES IT & STANDS OVER Channing Crowder & Ochocinco during a podcast debate to incorrectly claim that only 4 guys on an NBA team have fully guaranteed contracts.
"There's 4 guys on the NBA team that have guaranteed contracts and everyone else can be cut today and don't got nothing! Look it up!" 😳
Ochocinco gets sick & tired of BMarsh being factually wrong so he STOOD UP & SNAPPED BACK! 🤯
Guest, Andre Johnson’s face froze in shock as BMarsh almost popped a blood vessel over this.
