现代一种观点认为,我们与社会交往越多,幸福感就越强。然而,心理学家却发现了一种与此理论相背离的现象。两位分别来自英国和新加坡的心理学家通过研究发现,聪明的人往往不太合群,过多的朋友和过广泛的社交活动让他们感觉很痛苦。研究人员认为,聪明的人社会交往越频繁,他们对生活的满意度越低;与同朋友聚会相比,聪明的人与自己的伴侣单独相处时感觉更快乐、更幸福。

A modern view holds that the more we engage with the community, the greater the sense of happiness. However, psychologists have found a departure from this theory. Two psychologists from England and Singapore respectively found through research that bright people are often not very social, too many friends and extensive social activities make them feel very painful. Researchers believe that the more intelligent people socialize, the less they are satisfied with their lives; the smarter feel happier and happier when they are alone with their friends than with friends.
