Intelligence and happiness don’t always go together. You cannot guarantee that a person who is better educated, rich, or has accomplished a lot in life will be happy. In fact, it means that someone is less likely to be satisfied with their life. Here are some reasons of why intelligent people stay unhappy in their lives, why they are depressed.
1- Having high standards:
It is relatively difficult for intelligent people to settle for less because they keep really high standards in everything they do. No matter what they achieve, they don’t get satisfied with their achievements in relationships. Sometimes intelligent people have idealistic views of the world, which are a major cause in keeping them unhappy.
2- Over analyzing everything:
Intelligent people are usually over-thinkers and constantly keep analyzing everything in life. Overanalyzing can be draining at times and can make a person frustrated. The more they understand things, the more it becomes difficult to digest and makes people unhappy.
3- Too strict with themselves:
Intelligent people are often too strict with themselves because they keep on analyzing their behavior in a rigorous manner. They intentionally seek out things to blame themselves and recall the situations in which they didn’t act the way they should have.
4- Less socialization:
It is often hard for intelligent people to make others understand their point of view. They always feel they are not truly understood, which makes them less social with others. It is hard for them to communicate and interact with people who have an average level of intelligence.
5- Side effects of a brilliant mind:
Studies have revealed that people who are more intelligent are prone to existential depression. This makes them overthink so much to the level that they start reflecting on life, death, and the meaning of their existence. This all is enough to make them sad for no obvious reason.
6- Reality is too boring:
Intelligent people have a relentless mind and an imagination that won’t let them relax. It stops them from enjoying the good times in life and the reality becomes too boring to live. They always crave something fantastic, idealistic, and eternal that they never find in the world.
7- Intelligent People are Bored Easily:
With a mind running faster than a bullet, it becomes tough for such people to upkeep their interest unidirectional. To offer precedence to all the great ideas that they constantly come up with time and again becomes a big problem for them. These people are absolutely done the moment any person or thing ends stimulating their brain. And THEY CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. These people have so much on their minds that they cannot conclude properly. Eventually, they become habitual of letting things end in unnatural ways in their life.

8- Intelligent People Lack the Ability of Expression:
Humans express in so many ways. We master the ability to express and convey our feelings and emotions. One of the greatest experiences that a human being can have is that someone truly understands them. What can be more relaxing than to sit quietly with a person and have a meaningful conversation, knowing this person understands your thoughts and shares your views as you. However, it doesn’t go the same way in many people’s day-to-day life. They lack the ability to express even their grave needs and desires. Intelligent people rarely share one such bond with anybody. For most of their lives, they crave for people who may at least try the way they think. Thus, in order to prevent their modesty turn into their pride, they keep their thoughts private. They know the world is too immature for their deep notions and desire of eloquent.
