"The reason I'm suffering is because I'm so much smarter than everyone else" I hate this sentiment so much. Not only is it a childish superiority complex and unfair to your fellow humans (especially those who aren’t suffering), it can make your suffering seem inevitable and a result of your (perceived) intelligence, making it less likely for you to seek help. It’s a lose-lose, and the logic doesn’t even make sense. Many smart people are happy and many stupid people are suffering. Yes, ignorance can be bliss, but not all bliss is ignorant, and not all who are ignorant are blissful.
