Have you ever noticed that truly intelligent people tend to have less friends than others?
If so, you're definitely not alone in noticing this distinct character trait of those with more brain power than others.
But it begs the question: why do smart people have fewer friends, anyway?
If you want to know why, listen on to find out the top 7 reasons why smart people have fewer friends.
Number one, they're very selective.
Smart people don't become friends with just anybody.
Smart people are much more selective and choosy when it comes to deciding who they want to befriend and who is best left to the acquaintance circle, or left by the wayside entirely.
As a general rule of thumb, people with higher intelligence look for friends who, like themselves, have something to offer in a friendship.
This doesn't mean they're looking for a tit-for-tat relationship, but a friendship where the friend in question can add something positive to their life rather than impact them negatively.
Their friends tend to be people with solid goals, a high level of maturity, and a lack of personal drama.
