What's it like to have an IQ of 140 to 170? Do people notice you're different?

That is because if your way of doing things is too different from theirs, and they cannot quite grasp why you do things the way you do them, then they will invariably conclude that you’re stupid for doing things the way you do.

People won’t always conclude that you are indeed smarter than them though, often times they will instead think you’re weird and possibly a bit stupid.

Yes, people notice you’re different unless you actively try to hide it, and are actually good at hiding it.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Conversely, you may also feel that way about virtually everyone around you, and it might make you cringe, a lot. Unless you are exceptionally good at hiding your emotions, people will pick up on it and it will weird them out in turn, even make them take a defensive stance with you.

At 140 you still have a chance to find enough peers that can relate to your way of seeing and doing things, it’s just a little more than 2 standard deviations above the mean, but go three, and it’s exceedingly rare for someone in the crowd to just get you, so instead you need to learn how to integrate - and many people do that quite well, but if they don’t, then they tend to stand out like a sore thumb.
