I Am More Intelligent Than I Let On Stories of Experiences

It's rare when someone cares to know about your intelligence or to take the time to listen to your thoughts, ideas, philosophies, theories, and so on... --But to take it into consideration or merely think about the ideas themselves even...

technically speaking ... i'm a genius -_____-. when i was younger i used to act stupid because people thought i was. they treated me as someone who had no future on his own, they made me read from books that only had a few words on the...

But, it is the one who leaves a lasting impression :)

I'm in the state where I'm playing dumb.  I am pretending to be dumb.  lol.  I am more intelligent than I let on. 

well it hard to bring the real smart stuff out cause my thought process is going a million miles an hour.  i can analyze everything in my head but i try to bring it out it just comes out in stutter.  if you really sat down...

"Believe" in Yourself! There may be bays when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be. That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you...

I don't dumb myself down. I don't turn my brain cells off. But sometimes I wait for the appropriate moments. The appropriate people.

I have some friends that I know if I talked about the things I'd want to, they wouldn't understand...

I like this little story: "Tu Mu relates a stratagem of Chu-ko Liang, who in 149 BC, when occupying Yang-p'ing and about to be attacked by Ssu-ma I, suddenly struck his colors, stopped the beating of the drums, and flung open the city...

It's the only way to seem amiable in some (most?) situations. I mean--you've got your everyday, average people with nothing better to do than cluck about supramundane bullshit, the pseudo-intellectuals and the know-it-all renaissance...

Playing Dumb?  I've elevated it to an art form.  Thus far, it's been a necessity, but I'm hoping it'll pay off big one of these days! :-)

Reasons I dumb down daily:

1.  People often expect it of me based on my outward...

I read a lot, learn a lot and as result - know a lot. But I don't rush into sharing it with the whole white world. Why? Because I noticed that many people are afraid of smart people. Especially men being afraid of smart women, despite...

But every once in awhile I will tell you something and you will know I have a lot of knowledge on many different things. I just realized i'm my fathers child lol. He is like that but college educated. Mine is just learning from life and...

To most people who know me on here I might seem like a really strange random person. And well I AM. But I have a brain too. I will admit my stories are not constructed at there best and my god do I have alot of damn typeos but common...

I work in a male-dominated industry in a role that requires extensive negotiations. I learned a long time ago that if I pretend not to know something or to be technically ignorant, the guys I'm working with will reveal WAY more...

Unless there's something tangible in it for me I won't volunteer to answer a question in most situations, if it's an opinion someone's after I'm slightly more likely to do it. I don't like the unnecessary attention and I'm not concerned...

Sometimes I just don't say what I know is the correct answer (or pretty darn close) just because I feel like I'm being an answer hog.
    I absolutely despise that. It's like when you're...

especially at work....what you dont know they cant ask you to do...and yes it does take a special effort....its hard to be witty and play dumb at the same time but they seem to buy it!

I know everybody likes to be admired smart & Intelligent
Me either But I dont wanna show off that I am one
Intelligence is there and you know it
Wise man said ... "Foolish says he is smart but Smarter says he is fool...

I work my ass off to have some semblance of intelligence, but sometimes it just doesn't show.....
...like last night when I tripped over air, fell down the stairs and realized ten minutes later I had done the whole thing sober.

What happens? people dont like you. People do not want to listen. When you show what you know and are confident of it, people give you crap for it. But be strong, my friends. Eventually it will work itsself out.
