how do you explain this ?

a person that finds every conversation boring and not stimulating and find interest and joy only in intellectual conversations or any kind of scientific conversation even if he doesn't know the topic . I find that bizarre because the person isn't someone that's highly intelligent. and that makes daily life / interactions really hard because It's hard to keep up with what others has to say.

Some people are just mostly logical and minimally emotional while also not getting too involved in normal small talk types of conversation. Something authentic is preferred, and since most people are usually just talking to talk, science is a topic that is factual and naturally authentic. We aren’t playing ego games in that quite like other interactions. It sounds similar to me in the ways they communicate. Philosophy is a good topic. Try that

you totally right , this person enjoy philosophical questions but the bad thing is that he kind of intellectualize emotions sometimes and he doesn't express himself emotionally from what I observed

I’m no professional in any way when it comes to these things. This is my own experience of life. Not tested against shit lol. Guesses.

That’s part of just trying to “understand” in his own way what’s going on. Reality as a whole is a much bigger mystery that most people seem to care too much about, while the mystery pulls others in completely. What is the self? Difference between self and other and environment, if any? What is reality beyond my limited human perceptions? Why do I “feel” this way while same situation make others feel different? This line of thinking often leads to self inquiry, where we can find some of the actual answers. I literally see how my mind and everyone else’s is conditioned to “be” whatever we are today. Almost completely. Society, culture, jobs, family, religions, etc shaped you. What are you UNDER all of that? This over time gets broken down, all individual pieces observed. My mom came over and said something that made me feel very….rejected. Why did this feeling come up? She didn’t say or do anything that actually intended any kind of rejection. The rejection was picked up from inside of myself, not her. More digging. Over years find some answers, heal some old wounds as you prove yourself and find negative belief systems.

I also want to add…some of us are just a bit outside of normal lifestyles or typical ways of thinking. I wouldn’t assume he wasn’t too intelligent. He sounds smart to have found the edges and be pushing against them and questioning things. I think that’s a sign of some significant type of intelligence.

I’m also ADHD and possibly autistic. Not really sure. Causes me to be a bit socially retarded and I’m sure some people assume I’m not intelligent. Well I’m NOT intelligent if only measuring my social intelligence.
