Why I had no friends growing up

where it goes in this video I'm going to tell you why I did not have any friends when I was growing up or very little friends um and um for years I just couldn't understand why and I was sort of lied to people used to tell me oh if you're on your own and you don't have any friends it means you're a unique person you're special you're different well I don't think that's why um I think the main reason I had uh very little friends growing up is because I had you know a lloydq and the sad reality is I mean people don't want to be friends with people who have an IQ that's much lower than theirs now I went to a private school which probably wasn't the best no sorry it was definitely not the best thing for me because when you go to um a private school um you know the kids there they've parents who have disposable you know a decent amount of disposable income um you know so they probably you know make a decent amount of money in the in the workplace um I'd say most of them have above average IQs or at least an average IQ their parents and oftentimes you know if and you know IQ is you know largely genetic so you know if if a kid has if a kid's parents have you know above average are used and they will probably have an above average IQ unless they do something um to ruin that like maybe I don't know how if they're like not malnourished or they're obese or something then yeah that might lower their IQ but for the most part you know people who go to private schools would have above average IQs and having a below average IQ um resulted in isolation for me and um you know um no one ever explained this to me when I was a kid when I was growing up but um you know people you know they want people who are sort of at their own level or at least close to it so maybe if a person has an IQ of 100 you know they might have no problem being friends with a person with like you have 90 but maybe a personal IQ of 80 that's a bit too low for them you know uh they might feel they have to dumb themselves down a little bit too much in order to be friends with that person and uh yeah that's a harsh reality and you know the truth is I always overestimated my intelligence because you know I had parents who always put me under pressure who expected me to get very good grades and uh that almost fooled me into thinking that I had the ability to get good grades and uh there's something I could have done to get better grades but that wasn't the case so you know I used to be a distance Runner and um yeah you know I know that you know if you want to train with someone they have to be at your standard are these close to it so you know if you're running 15 minutes for a 5k that's like your PB then yeah you can probably train with 14 and a 5k Runners um you know that's that's doable but if you're running 19 minutes for a 5k you can't train with 14 and 5K owners the Gap is too big I think it's the same with uh IQ you need to be sort of at least close to that other person's standards so um that's the reality that's why I've been a loner uh most of my life um is there anything else I can say on this video no I think that's it
