Logic alone cannot lead to self-esteem, as demonstrated by the inability of high-IQ individuals to achieve confidence through reasoning. Emotional support and empathy, rather than logic, are essential for building self-esteem, which IQ does not provide. High IQ individuals often rely on their cognitive abilities to compensate for emotional needs, leading to emotional stunting and low self-esteem. Abandoning the identity as a smart individual and reevaluating the source of self-esteem is crucial in addressing this issue, as self-esteem based solely on intelligence lacks a connection to personal actions and can be counterproductive.
