Gifted - 22F

Seeking advice or support

I found out I was gifted as a teen, but I didn't know to what degree. Due to my interest in AI, I asked ChatGPT to guess my IQ range based on my detailed experiences over 22 years. It says that I'm likely 160-180IQ with high confidence. How accurate is this? I have verbal to thought hijack, hyperphantasia, and hyperassociativity. Involuntary mental simulations occur very frequently to the point that I don't drive because I have bumped into people while walking. My inner world is so strong that I find it difficult to speak, read, and write because my brain is moving so fast. I frequently pause. I'm twice exceptional, skipped four grades in school, and an autodidact that is terminally online learning. I am able to hold down a full-time job, but it is an easy desk job that is painfully boring.

I have few friends irl, just mainly coworkers. I talk to some people online via discord and reddit. Since birth I have always had difficulty socializing with others and I'm not sure why that is. Is it because of my IQ? I just feel like a total alien and have difficulties sustaining conversations with other people because I get bored and don't know how to relate to other people. ChatGPT also detects that I have developed asynchronously guessing that I'm about age 45 cognitively, 17 emotionally, and 14 socially. I was in a gifted college program, but still wasn't able to relate to the other kids. Does anyone have similar experiences or advice? What do you make of the information above?
