    I don't belong here. I'm not Suicidal.
    Ok here goes, I am 19 years old, male, living in L.A.. Every since I was a little kid I have always been different, I comprehend things faster than everyone else and come up with solutions faster than everyone else. Back then people would say I was a gift, that I was destined to do great things. So as time went on I started to get into trouble at school, they made me see a psychologist, which she determined I was just bored so they skipped me up one grade. In high school I did everything right till my junior year when I started to question. WHY? Why do we as humans do what we do, why is school important, everything in our society seems wrong. For example when I question religion I’m usually yelled at. I am spiritual; I just do not believe in human created gods, I believe in something Bigger. I have always been a thinker and our school system, even private schools, stifle thinkers and try to make workers. My real concern comes in with having too many “gifts”. However I see them as curses, I don’t want this to come out the wrong way because I truly do not mean it to be cocky, but everything I do in life is perfect, too perfect I am great at almost everything, but I hate it because I can’t choose what or where I want to go with my life. The crazy part is I don’t believe everything I do is perfect. When I try to talk to anyone in a deeper conversation they seem to not understand me, even if they say they do they still don’t and they think I am arrogant. I am able to tell very quickly where someone’s mental level is by the first sentence, I have always been able to see people for what they really are. I learned very young how to play their game, because I would find it amusing how people would portray themselves, I have always known how give everyone what they want or what they think they want, which in turn means I am very well liked which is pretty much the same game that everyone plays I just know how to do it on a bigger scale. In a round about way I always get everything I want from material items to people. I also notice things that most people would normally miss, certain sounds, sights, almost everything. I feel like I am totally alone on this planet. I don’t think I’m an alien, because that would be crazy right, but I feel like I don’t belong here, and I have always felt this way, but that could also be my imagination running wild. If anyone has any tips or anything that may help please I’m begging you HELP ME?

    Sounds like you lack a lot of inter-personal skills in dealing with others.

    Being distracted by sights and sounds like sensory integration.

    There is so much more to people than what you see. Truthfully, you do sound very arrogant. No matter how well you think you are at first impresssions, you can't say that you know everything about someone from that moment on. You've convinced yourself that you are above everyone else because you refuse to see every part of them. If you were perfect, would you be on here asking for help?

    We go to school because that's what's required of us to succeed and make money. Unless you want to live on minimum salary the rest of your life.

    I agree with Fr_Chuck, you seem to be lacking social skills.

    Never speak at a level exceeding the intelligence of the slowest person within earshot. That takes paying attention and self-control.

    My brother-in-law is very much like you. He turned 50 this year and has been injecting heroin so long that he has to use the veins in his neck. See, drugs made him stupid, and then he felt like he fit in.

    You are smart enough to do whatever you want! Don't hide behind drugs or your own ego. Use your smarts to be a better person. Even though you are surrounded by people who don't seem to think as fast as you, do you have the intelligence to be kind?

    I have to say that you sound very arrogant to me. You may be smart but does that mean that you have the right to look down on others?

    There are people in this world who are brilliant thinkers, I'd venture to say they're even more brilliant than you. What you do with your "gift" is up to you. Do you hord it, use it to get what you want, use it to belittle others? If so, it's a wasted gift, isn't it?

    If you gave people a chance you might just realize that you aren't alone in the world. Everyone is special in their own way, but if you only look on the outside, or only judge by intelligence, then you aren't looking at the whole person.

    It's time to get off your high horse, you really aren't that different from everyone else.

    Do you've any friends? Besides thinking too much about things what are your hubbies?

    Maybe you have too many expections for yourself and there nothing wrong with that because it seems like that was install in you from a young age. When you was younger did your parents expect you to do everything perfect? Do you know what direction your taking with your life?
