Growing up with above average intelligence was troubling at times.I didnt understand most of my peers behavior and spent a lot of time reading or even talking to adults.
I fit into the edge of a group by smoking pot...stoners will accept anybody with weed.
I joined the military and learned to drink...a lot...where I finally developed a sense of humour.
I also joined a rock band and did more drugs and fit in socially better and better.IQ dropping over the years from substance abuse had finally allowed me to interact with the average Joe.
Too bad by then I no longer wanted to.
