But I get what they're saying. I truly do. And it is very intelligent.

I'm rather narcissistic: I don't think I've ever been in a room where anyone was more intelligent than I. It's not just the rooms: I go to many full with PhDs, professors, Chomsky. But maybe that waiting room. Seriously.
Edit:
And maybe another exception is one of my cousins, whose schizophrenic, and an old professor of mine, whose a member of the Royal Academy.

You manic again?
. I don't think nearly that highly of myself unless I'm seriously zonked out. I suppose the point is that mental illness + intelligence is not necessarily always a good thing. I only work with professors, and many of the most successful succeed not because they are particularly intelligent in an IQ kind of way.
Though when I was surrounded by mentally ill people in the hospital and pretty sick myself, I thought they were all speaking genius to me and I thought it was weird the doctors couldn't understand, like I had some special power (like I said I was manic...).
