even without being a pessimist that statement is 100% true. It's not so much being a pessimist that makes you "like to sit alone" and "think nonstop about shit no one cares about". If you are in any way sensible and smart, even as a very young kid, you will begin very quickly to be saddened by how slow, intellectually unstimulating and incapable of keeping up with you everyone else is. This is how you end up alone, thinking nonstop about shit no one cares about. It's not like you chose this, it just becomes saddening to talk to other people and see that they can't keep up - neither with the intensity, the depth or the quickness you have.
And mind: you don't have to be surrounded by anyone particularly stupid to experience this. If anything, stupid people can sometime be creatively stupid and are entertaining to be around, in that they at least don't think like everybody else. It's average people, i.e. the vast majority, who will wear you out. Being constantly surruounded by people who are fast enough to function but always a little to slow to catch up with whatever you're on will make you melancholic with time. You will keep giving the same advice, seeing people commit the same mistakes, go through the same arguments tens of times with different people, all the while listening to them explaining things to you, often well meaning, at 0.5x your speed and in ways that are completely uneffective - sometimes forcing you to dig out the actual meaning of what they wanted, which could have been said in one or two sentences, if they knew how to properly express themselves.
Do you know the feeling of talking to old people and the sadness and impatience you feel sometimes when you see them struggle cognitively? A smart person experiences this with almost everybody else from day one of their lives. I have memories of kindergarten of drawing with other kids and seeing them unable to do things as well as I did, or of playing with them and seeing them move their hands in way that already at that age I could register as lacking coordination and grace. It's not like they can't do things: they can. Just never on your level.
After a while (I'm in my thirties) you really find yourself struggling to find an interlocutor. You talk to people and feel very lonely. I wasn't born sad, btw, I was a very cheerful kid, I have a social life and I've had several relationships. It's just, if you're even slightly above average in anything or different from others, it takes a toll on you in the long run.

nietzsche didn't disagree with this quote, he just disagreed that life had too much suffering to be worth enduring. nietzsche fucking hated the masses kek

I have no life and no friends and no gf. By this I know: I am a superior man
