why would someone with a high iq want to be lesser in intellect or like "normal" iq people?

it just doesnt make any sense to me, maybe i dont understand in what ways they mean by normal iq, or average people, like they would rather be that way because they think normal people feel the most alive in this world / experience the most pleasure, or arent bothered so much by extremes in life that which they undergo themselves?

honestly, i would disagree with this, and other things like theory that people with lower iq's tend to be happier in life, but people with higher iq's tend not to be as happy, if anything, the lower your iq, the more problems you will have in life and you will experience more discomfort because any attempts you do would require more effort.

i myself hate my life, and i couldnt care less about iq numbers anymore because even if i was considered above average for say, like 112, it wouldnt matter, my life is a big ball of **** and i feel like im sinned and gonna go to hell when i die despite being in hell already!!!! i might have the capacity to do certain things that would other words WOULD carry on a meaningful energtic healthy life, but not carry life itself, im nowhere near a consistent person / stable / mentally tough / motivated / confident / conscious in any aspect, the only thing i have is living every day in misery / emptiness / feeling just messed up / barely living in a solitary life / dark / depressing / basically all sorts of negative things...

btw, i did get tested from my past psychologists, the two i tested, both of them indicated i had an average iq which didnt suprise me because i basically knew this. medications failed from the psychiatrists which were all experimental obviously since i didnt even know what was wrong with me before, now, or i dont think i ever will, this included ritalin, vyvanse, anti depressants, anti psychosis i think, so i feel like the options are very limited, as i told my mom, if there would be anything to help me, save me and give me a soul, it would be some sort of medication that not only makes me smarter in choices / but be happier in life, establish a life and basically do as much good things you can do in life. but we all know that will never happen, and as a result, with my limited knowledge, it seems like i will degenerate in life form by the day, not necessarily gonna go commit suicide, probably just gonna live a long miserable life, half alive, who knows...,

Chihiro, in what ways? surely the higher iq individual would be able to explain this to us in detail...

lol, at blackeneth, if what you said is how these people think, then they arent really smart lol..., this is basically saying that all other lower intellect beings are ignorant, selfish, stubborn, and have lower conscious levels.

and getting laid more?...., lol, how would having a lower iq make you get laid more?

Either because the high IQ person thinks having a lower IQ would result in:
1) minimal or no thought about existential problems and complex problems with no good solutions
OR
2) getting laid more.
