I feel like im more evolved then everyone else , so i do drugs to dumb myself down to everyone Else's level ?

I know how you feel. I also got prescribed xanax and dexedrine. I feel the dexedrine (basically same as addy) doesn't dumb me down, it just puts part of my brain to action that can relate with some people. If anything it has made me smarter. If you are abusing them (espesially the adderall) it will not fry your brain but it will **** you up on an emotional level, not a intellectual level, i actually think drug use opens a portion of your mind you would have never allowed to open. Don't start abusing that **** everyday, there's more to addiction than the physical aspect, even with hard drugs the hardest part of the addiction to overcome is the phsychological addiction (cigarettes anyone?)

If you are sick of using people for your benefit, then just stop (id keep up the bangin girls on myspace though lol). Give yourself to other people, i used to be very selfish and would have said that is dumb as hell, but it really does make you feel good knowing you make other people happy. Happiness cannot come from physical objects or trickful psychology.

As far as feeling that everyone is dumb... yea that's highschool. Stuff changes VERY FAST after highschool. College is a whole new deal, there are not near as many dumb people, and i'm not just talking book smarts. In college you will find people that have the same thoughts as you and that you can relate to (that's whats great about having 30,000 people that want to learn in one place). Sure there are people that will party and not grow up any after highschool, but for the most part they do not last very long.

Highschool and college are a whole different deal than the real world though. In the real world you just have to accept that a large portion of people are flat out ignorant of their stupidity and nothing will change that.

I suggest rolling a blunt and if you have a car go out in the country and cruise around and listen to your favorite music. It will help you understand where other people are coming from, though understanding does not mean that you have to agree.

Though i gotta say you do seem like you are on a little bit of a high-horse.

I'm going to try not to insult you... however what you've described is not a sign of being a highly evolved human- in fact, the ramblings you've written are wrought with error and "hubris" which is a "tragic flaw" not a healthy signature of pride in oneself.

And, at sixteen you may feel superior to some of the people around you but I guarantee that the real world wold chew you up and spit you out.

If you're so bored and so advanced and you need to expand your horizons of experience then I say when you turn 17 you enter the Delayed Entry Program of the Army, sign into the Airborne Infantry and maybe opt to be a Ranger. Let's see what some good old fashioned humbling can do to that super ego of yours.

You won't bullshit your way through that, soldiers aren't dumb- in fact to survive day to day in combat they're more intelligent and resourceful than you could be on your best day as a civilian. Maybe you just need to be challenged. So, I'm challenging you.

Drugs are a horrible way to think you'll be able to relate to people.

Oh, and most people don't walk around trying to prove ways their better than other people- not the ones I know... we're too busy living our adult lives.

Enjoy high school, remember to keep your feet and knees together when you hit the ground- if you can make it to Airborne school. Those with hubris normally screamed for their momma's and quit quickly though. Perhaps you are spoiled?

I think the Army could be the answer for lot of things...

Your just being sixteen,and either you dont have very much in common with the people around you or your not very confident or your feeling a bit low,those would be reasons why its hard to relate to people.I really doubt you have anything to feel guilty for,theres no reason to feel bad about selling your parents stuff at 7,you really didint exactly know what you were doing,and were too young to be held accountable by far.As far tricking your parents into buying you stuff and making them broke,they CHOSE to buy you those things,whether it was a good choice or a bad choice,there is no way you could trick them without them decideing to part with their money and buy you the things,so it was NOT your fault,it was there responsibility.As for getting adderal and zanex from your doctor,they throw those pills at pretty much anyone who vaguely can come up with a few symtoms,thats doctors not you,they do it to everyone.I think your suffering a lot of guilt or feelings of responsibility for things that are loosely connected with you.You have a love hate relationship with yourself and probably have alternating feeling of low and high self worth.

As for being 'emo',its absolutely fine to be emo at sixteen,if thats what you want to do.And trying to get together with girls,Im pretty sure thats normal,if its making you feel like a bad person or you feel like your not treating them with respect or whatever,just go about it differintly,in a way that you feel better about,but it is also the girls choice to be with you too,so its not all you.Good Luck.

Young man, I congratulate you. Being the smartest guy in the room can be pretty tough sometimes, but it also has lots of advantages as you know. You can use that intelligence for good or for bad, and it sounds as though you've done both. You've dug a pretty deep hole for yourself in some ways. But you have something that is going to be an enormous help to you, and that many people never achieve in a lifetime -- you are willing to be honest with yourself and with other people even though it's painful and embarrassing.

I recommend that you do a couple of things: first, if you trust your doctor, ask for a long appointment with him (or her), and explain your situation just as you have here, and ask for help. Second, maybe with the doctor's help, find a mentor -- an uncle, possibly, or a friend of the family, or maybe a well-respected pilot at the local small airport. A pilot might be just right, because you want someone who's willing to spend time with you, doing something that interests you both (learning to fly, in your case); someone who is not necessarily as smart as you are but who lives his life honestly and responsibly and has gained some wisdom; someone who will treat you as an adult but who you can look up to. It doesn't strictly speaking have to be a man, but I think it will be better and much less emotionally complicated for both of you if it is. A machinist could be a good choice too, or if you live near the water perhaps a sailor. With this man and your doctor on your side, and if you hold on to your honesty as a precious thing, I think you'll find that learning to live your life in a way deserving of respect can be interesting, challenging and ultimately very satisfying indeed. And maybe one day you'll find yourself in a position to reach out and lend a hand to a young lad who's struggling as you are now, and thus pay the debt you will owe to your own mentor. Whaddaya say?

If you want to write to me privately, feel free. I'll be happy to correspond with you.

I am a girl, but I feel this way once in a while. I try harder than most my friends in school and half the time they don't get what I am saying when I talk to them. I read a lot since I love most books out there, but my friends won't even think about opening a novel. I guess it is just the people you hang out with or letting certain things bother you too much. Sorry I don't have much advice, but I know where your coming from.

- Now that is if your being completely serious about this question.

Frying your brain to dumb yourself down is the stupidist thing i have heard... so you can stop , because you are already dumber than most people

If you are saying you need new ways of coping, that is different...

why not take some time to do some college prep work, or find groups outside schooll that interest you... and keep your mind getting better, not worse..

I think you are taking the drugs because you have not developed your social skills well enough and that is more like other people than you recognize... so you could take some classes on that too...

dumbing yourself down... youre there.. now you have to get your intelligence back.. and get smart....

Everybody that's answered this seems to think they have the right to call you narcissistic, egotistical, moronic, or just trying to gain attention. So on the off chance you're none of these things (and because it's really frickin' brave to be an ASSHOLE online *rolls eyes*), I'll say what I really think.

It sounds like you're precocious and mature for your age, like myself, which often comes off as narcissistic or egotistic. I hate trying to have an intelligent conversation with most people, because I actually make a valid argument (I like to debate) and the most common response is "huh?" I'll probably get thumbs down for this or whatever, which really doesn't bother me, but it can be a huge burden to have to attempt to figure out what level your peers are at. I'm considered weird at my school because I know too much, or I try to enter a 'normal' conversation and end up making a total *** out of myself. I have very few friends because I only talk to people that talk, think, and behave at my level. Everyone says I'm really intelligent, and I don't say that because I'm narcissistic or egotistic or anything--actually, it's the one positive thing that others say about me that I DO believe and accept. I'm also considered "emo", I wear a lot of black, and I can be pretty antisocial, and I have a very unhealthy addiction to alcohol and painkillers. Alcohol is amazing because it literally makes my head so thick that I talk like a normal teenager. Painkillers...are just amazing...they make you totally numb, and you're so chill, and your brain actually slows waaaay down so you're not drowning in your own thoughts....if anything I've said sounds like you, feel free to email me. It would be great to talk to someone without having to use easier words...

Oh and as far as the manipulation and using people, I do that too, and it can be a telltale sign of Borderline Personality Disorder, which I truly believe I have. Somehow, intelligent people with BPD have an uncanny ability to "read" people, make people infatuated with them or make people do things they want. They (we) are master manipulators, and though we feel bad afterwards, it's a compulsion, something beyond our control.

You can read more about it here: http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/tc/borderline-p...

You can also type 'borderline personality disorder' on the Yahoo Answers search bar for personal questions and answers about BPD from actual Borderlines.

Hope this helps, good luck

It sounds to me like your one of those people that think they're smarter than everybody else, but inactuality your not. Reading what you just wrote, too many things are mis-spelled, e.g. phycology=psychology, everysingle=every single, jewelery=jewelry, haveing =having...ect.........see my point if you were as smart as you say you wouldnt be misspelling these simple words, but anyways you do have a seriouse problem. It's not strange for you watch the history channel and not like what other teenagers do. Alot of people are like that. Your going to kill yourself if you keep popping pills to make yourself dumb. Those pills are for people who truly need them and you arent. Stop doing what you dont love and go back back to what you love. Stop analyzing people, and be yourself. It's not bad to be smart, but taking advantage is another thing.

I actually thought the title of this was hilarious, and it looks like frying your brain is working. But those of you who are saying he can't spell, can't type all that well yourselves. Dave, there's a distinct difference between "your" and "you're". Grammar is also important. Not just spelling. But whatever, this made me lol.

Just because you think differently doesn't make you better, just different.

If you are superior, why aren't you happy?

You may be good at manipulating and conning, but you aren't very good at spelling. And you aren't very good at socializing.

Get out of the problems and into solutions. Quit feeling sorry for yourself and quit pretending you are better than other people. Quit developing that criminal mind or use it for the good of society.
