People keep telling me I’m smart and shouldn’t waste my potential but when that’s coming from someone with the personality of a garden slug, it grates. I mean, what even is potential? Who decides what’s waste? Anyway, I keep telling other people they’re smart in their own way which is weird because I don’t even believe in intelligence. Maybe I just like the irony. Or maybe I’m the slug.

If you have to ask you aren't
I would go further, and say that if you have to say, or even suggest that you might be, you aren't.

Intelligence is a privative. If you have even a smidgen, what you really have isn't intelligence, but a temporary absence of a particular wavelength of stupidity.

I find that it's much easier to discuss my intelligence in forums that don't provide ready access to established chess ratings. On such other forums, I'm much smarter, I swear!

Aren't we all?

And how does that affect your relationship with others ?
i prefer straight answers, even if they’re blunt. that’s great for trust-based friendships, but sometimes others might see me as ''too intense'' if they're used to sugarcoating or small talk.

Are you frequently frustrated?
yes. almost always.

Do you feel tt no one understands you
yes.

And you frequently don't understand yourself...
also yes.

Are you smart?
i feel, no. :>

Lol you're right
Doesn't make life any easier in a lot of ways
And harder in others...

I think IQ tests really measure how good you are at IQ tests and ignore such factors as social intelligence or street smarts or ethnic intelligence as applicable to other cultures and is basically flawed in that it only measures certain parameters and disregards others.

Yep,there goes the smartest man in the world and he doesn't have a friend on the whole damn planet
