00:00 Why does your friend's circle seem minute in comparison to those around you?

00:08 Do you worry whether or not that's normal?

00:11 If this is the case, you could be extremely intelligent.

00:15 In one of our previous videos, we talked about reasons why intelligent people might be more

00:20 lonely.

00:21 But what if we told you that science has uncovered some interesting reasons why brainiacs prefer

00:27 to have a small inner circle rather than a lot of friends?

00:31 Let's find out why.

00:33 Here are four reasons why smart people keep just a few close friends according to science.

00:39 Disclaimer.

00:40 Remember, this list is not the be all and end all.

00:44 It's merely a glimpse into one aspect of social dynamics.

00:48 With that being said, let's get into it.

00:51 Quality over Quantity.

00:53 Nikola Tesla once said, "Intelligent people tend to have less friends than the average

00:59 person.

01:00 Smart individuals understand the true worth of deep and meaningful connections.

01:04 You prioritize interesting time and energy into building strong relationships with only

01:09 a few individuals rather than having numerous and superficial, fleeting connections.

01:15 You choose your friends wisely because you know that the company you keep can either

01:20 inspire you or hinder your growth."

01:23 A friend group composed of positive influences inspires you to strive for excellence, not

01:29 change who you are to fit in.

01:32 Emotional Depth and Trust.

01:34 What are some qualities important for friendships?

01:38 For brainiacs, it's a tight-knit support system that offers meaningful emotional support.

01:44 Smart people prefer to foster deeper connections and feel a need to be understood.

01:50 Those connections create a sense of safety and comfort, where you can be yourself without

01:55 any fear of judgment.

01:57 Having a few trusted friends means having a support system that is always there for

02:02 you.

02:03 So, if you find yourself with a handful of close friends, know that it's a sign of

02:07 intelligence and a way to cultivate meaningful connections that can last a lifetime.

02:15 Intellectual Compatibility.

02:16 Do you keep to yourself because not many share your interests or hobbies?

02:21 You dive deep into specific subjects, gathering specialized knowledge that sets you apart.

02:27 Intelligent people can sometimes feel isolated from those around them because they think

02:32 and see the world differently.

02:34 Finding someone who processes information as you do can be difficult.

02:39 This leaves intelligent people with a smaller circle as they seek out friendships with others

02:44 who share their passions and with whom they can connect on a deeper level.

02:49 It's a wonderful feeling to connect with people who share your curiosity.

02:53 So, if you have a particular interest or love learning about something specific, don't

02:59 be afraid to find others who feel the same way.

03:07 Privacy and Introspection.

03:09 Smart people often enjoy spending time alone.

03:12 Such moments of solitude and introspection are necessary to recharge and process their

03:17 thoughts.

03:19 Researchers found that most people are happier when they socialize with their friends frequently.

03:25 Intelligent people, however, were the only exception.

03:28 Their happiness decreased when their socializing increased.

03:32 As intelligent people are more focused on working towards long-term goals rather than

03:37 social life, solitude allows for a balance between social interaction and personal reflection.

03:44 If you sometimes feel guilty for needing time alone, don't worry.

03:48 It's important to strike a balance between spending time with friends and having moments

03:53 of peaceful solitude.

03:56 It's all part of taking care of yourself.

03:58 So, do you have just a few close friends you can count on?

04:02 It's important to cultivate friendships with those who truly appreciate and value you for

04:07 who you are.

04:09 Remember to never change just to fit in with the crowd.
