The fact that you need to say this means you probably aren't.

I know this thread is a joke, but I'd like to point out that if you really think that you're incredibly intelligent or talented, chances are that you aren't as smart or as skilled as you think you are. This is called the Dunning–Kruger effect. In summary: really incompetent people don't realize how much they don't know and, therefore, overestimate their own skill.

Or, OP is simply an idiot who thinks that opinions can be facts.
Seriously, not because you think you're something means you are that thing, not unless you come from Tumblr or some shit where people can be whatever they want to be if they say they are.
I'm glad there's so many geniuses in this thread, to tell us all about how the experience is and give us concrete blanket facts about every intelligent person.
Here's a blanket fact that is actually accurate: People who respond to someone else's assumption of their own intelligence, with defensiveness and bad logic, are really just reacting with kneejerk emotion of the insecure variety. Insecure for what reason you might ask? Pretty stupid question to ask me, but it's IQ obviously. They have low IQ's.
It seems like OP was just asking for help relating to others in social situations, and because of her wording, people seem to think it's okay to just attack her instead of help with what she actually asked for. OP's mistake seems to be making it clear that she is very intelligent, which is the fucking root of the problem she is bringing up! So everyone attacks her for it? What kind of people are you?
Simple minded people with chips on their shoulders just cant let someone else come in the room and claim intelligence! How dare they! Simple minded people wish we were back in the caveman days, so they could club the smarter frailer people over the head, but sorry, that's not how it works on the internet. Try to control your primal urges people.
And to you, sharpnova, I don't know what advice to give you, besides you live and you learn. You have to learn to adapt and mold to those around you without letting it invade on your own identity. Hope that helps a little, I know what it's like to be an outcast due to society's tendency to dislike highly intelligent and creative people.
