My perfectionist tendencies have mellowed over the years as well as changing my thought process from being outcome oriented to focusing on task mastery.

The gift and curse of intelligence
With superior processing power and cognitive ability comes great responsibility and isolation.
First of all, I’ve been putting off this topic for a while now. For a number of reasons this is so, primarily because of my fear of being misunderstood with people thinking this is just some self-aggrandising sanctimony in the pursuit of pretentious intellectual pride. Most people don’t talk about intelligence and those who do are usually seen as self-serving – and not necessarily wrongfully so. After all, no one is running around going, “Oh poor you with higher intelligence”, it’s usually resentment, bitterness, anger or condemnation stemming from their own intellectual insecurities.
“No one seems to be able to have an intelligent conversation about intelligence.”
I’m certainly not saying that intelligence is not revered and rewarded in society, obviously it is, but there is always that disdain at the intellect, the pompous prick perpetually purporting Plato – I’m making this too easy, aren’t I? – the disdain at the intellect usually acts as a counter to the implied, and often inflated, sense of moral superiority that the intellect proclaims – though not always demonstrates. The more intelligent you are does not inherently mean the more moral human being you are. Regular doses of humility and gratitude can check your intellectual arrogance and pride at the door. However, the self-righteous will always proclaim their superiority, regardless of intelligence.
It's a fine line between bringing someone down because of your own intellectual insecurities/inferiority (that’s usually the “you think you’re better than us” comment), and keeping the intellects humble. Conversely, the sooner you stop demanding society reward you for your intelligence and that the people prostrate themselves before your brilliance, the better off we all will be.
There are great expectations for those with greater intelligence, and it really eats away at you like a poison pill for not realising that potential. Such potential can be paralysing especially in gifted children/young adults, and make them prone to burn out. Anxiety is usually worse in people with higher IQs because with a higher IQ you have an increased predictive capacity. With greater intelligence, we can find ourselves quitting before with start, but this is not because we’re lazy or lacking energy (although it might be), we’re just motivated NOT to do things (see predictive ability) – and there’s a technical difference. Potential and expectations can be a bit like false idols and it’s a real delicate balance between what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…or it cripples you (sometimes completely and/or for eternity).
Such high expectations can set the conditions for not being allowed to fail. I was supposed to succeed/do well, so why get excited when it happens? You’re meant to. Just get on with it. However, I would severely punish myself for even the minute amount of failure. This was how I stayed motivated. This was how I got better. The first thing I’d see in obtaining a mark of 179/180 was what was the one I got wrong and I’d be more annoyed at that than elated at my near perfect score. Why? Because I should have got them all correct. I’m intelligent enough to. My perfectionist tendencies have mellowed over the years as well as changing my thought process from being outcome oriented to focusing on task mastery .
Or, as the philosopher Clintus Eastwoodius put it:
To some, it’s bad manners. To others, it’s practically an art form. It’s a taboo that exists in every culture, and a feature in many people’s day-to-day lives. It inspires outrage, laughter, sadness — and sometimes even romance.

Reviews for "Orlando Magic's Instagram: Your Ticket to Exclusive Photos and Videos"
Michael - 2/5
The Orlando Magic Instagram handle is such a disappointment. The content they post is so lackluster and uninteresting. It's mostly just random pictures of players with generic captions. They rarely interact with their followers or provide any behind-the-scenes content. I expected more from an NBA team.
Sophia - 1/5
I can't believe how boring the Orlando Magic Instagram handle is. It's just a constant stream of generic game updates and photos of players. There's nothing unique or engaging about it. I want to see more personality and creativity from the team, but this account falls short. I would not recommend following it if you're looking for exciting content.
