IQ tests are pretty much worthless as far as determining ones true worth, yet you seem to use this as a reason to see yourself as worth more than everyone else. This is quite arrogant and by doing this you distance yourself from everyone else. Your perception is that you are above everyone in every way when in reality you are probably only better than them in the few things that are tested in IQ tests. Not everyone can get high scores on IQ tests but just about everyone has redeeming qualities that more than make up for it. You may be smart in one way but you have much to learn in others. If i were you i would forget about how smart you think you are and try to be humble and maybe then you will be able to see that everyone has something to teach you.
Also I would give up trying to find others like you and seek people who are different for now at least. If you were to find someone else like you at this moment you would find them arrogant and they would most likely think the same of you, which would make it very difficult to be friends with them.

Your not intimidating dude. You sound like you take yourself too seriously. And someone who considers themselves to be freakishly inteligent must have something els wrong with them... Look, you've lived you life up until now without learning some pretty important lessons obviously. Thats not freakishly inteligent.
Fuck you, peace <

You don't need to be smart or dumb to make friends. You have to show genuine interest in someone. We can all be assholes sometimes but that doesn't define who you are. I have a lot of respect for intelligent people, but that doesn't make them better than anyone else.
Maybe you need some hobbies? I don't know what you do for fun, but generally if there are others who enjoy these things, you can become friends.
I know you've gotten some slack for saying what you said, I am not going to judge -- But smart people generally do not need to tell people they are smart, it's relayed during interaction. I understand this is the internet, but if your demeanor is the same in person then this might be your problem. Otherwise, get out and talk to people, thats the only way to make friends. They wont come to you.

I was genuinely offended by this thread. I disagree with some of the posts put up on other threads here but, if I haven't come across as a tripper with a few issues myself to some people I'd be surprised.
There's more forms of intelligence than akedamic ya know.

You have no friends because nobody likes you.
Dont worry though, I have no friends either, and its because people dont like me.
I've never really had friends. Way back when I was five, I had family problems(divorce) and I became anti-social. It just stuck with me throughout my life. I've had "friends" that I've hung out with throughout my life but they always fuck me over. Now I'm in my late twenties and have no life.
Your loneliness will befriend you.

Does anybody identify with this?
Kind of.
I tried to make myself stupid by taking high high doses of DXM and honestly I think it worked.
I'm still WAY above average and considered highly gifted but not like I used to be.
When I was younger I had a perfect memory and absorbed information like a sponge.
The problem was that my brain didnt have enough stimulation and so it went kinda haywire.
I developed alot of mental problems and anxiety disorders and when I started trying to dumb myself down with DXM I thought it would help.
It did, help that is.
But I still have problems finding people that I have things in common with.
At first others like me, but they find out really quick that we have nothing in common no matter how hard I try.
BTW I'm also an INTP.

Dude I think you are me. I have written the exact same thing (pretty much) before about being super-intelligent as a younger kid (up until 13 years maybe). I still consider myself highly intelligent but my memory just isn't the same anymore, and I consider that an important facet of cognitive ability. when one has near perfect access to past information via memory solving (solvable)problems becomes a lot easier. I think it started when I got depressed after my parents divorced along with residual anxiety from my mom's psychological abuse, but part of me thinks that perhaps a cognitive decline from childhood is to be expected in any normal person and that we are merely idealizing the past. some food for thought. I haven't tried to make myself dumber though. Keep at it man, of course you can find people that have common interests as you.

Anyone whos freakishly intelligent should be able to easily pick up all the social mannerisms of extroverts and easily be able to hold a conversation with anyone of higher or lesser brain power. If you're so smart you should be networking left and right making all kinds of connections with people to better your own life. The more people you know the better your life is. People don't need to be smart to be able to help you.

the problem is you are a identifying too much with yourself... you're a prick, op. or i mean, at least you are acting like a prick... at probably the most inappropriate times. you want to be alone... most intp's do... you wanna teach someone something? teach about your empathic side.

people are quick to judge.
look in your own judgements... maybe he is coming off as dick so strongly to certain people that it's even obvious on the internet? so come and ask for help or don't... he has chosen to ask for opinions so he is getting them.
