10 Reasons Why Smart People Have Fewer Friends

Friendship is perhaps one of the deepest bonds in human life.

It's forged through mutual trust, unconditional support and selflessness.

It doesn't matter if you have a thousand friends on Facebook, Twitter or whatever.

I mean seriously, how many of them do you actually talk to and hang out with?

In general, smart people have fewer friends.

They realize the importance of having REAL friends, and they value those friendships

You simply refuse to get involved with people like that, just for the sake of popularity.

You feel like they are social climbers, and they aren't worthy of your time.

While your actions might contrast the actions of your friends, you have a strong mindset,

and the liberty to express your own thoughts and ideas.

Your mind isn't limited, and you always have something to say!

Others can think whatever they want, and since you don't feel the need to be accepted by

Number 6 - You Don't Need To Prove Your Worth

You're grateful for the little things and you're quite content with what you've

Because you can support yourself, you don't rely on others, and there's no need for

You already know who your true friends are, so you don't really feel the need to have

You are very cautious when letting people in your life, unless someone is as compatible

But, you still test them in situations to see if they really care about you, as a person,

or if they have something else on their agenda.

You usually keep to yourself, but you're a force to be reckoned with!

You're not afraid to say the truth, or confront someone when they're out of line.

And because of this, people often see you as a threat.

But, there are some people who can see you for who you really are.

These are the people you invest your time and effort in.

Let's face it, most geniuses are loners, and few people understand and accept them.

It can be hard for an intelligent person!

You seem to live in your own small world, and social activity is more like a distraction

In fact, the more you have to communicate with others, the more drained you feel.

You feel uncomfortable sharing your dreams and visions with narrow-minded people.

You work hard to achieve your goals and you don't have time for setbacks, so spontaneity
