DON'T try to be less smart!!! No wayyyy!!! It's never good to try to be anything that you're not... besides, intelligence is something that's awesome and should be appreciated. Maybe you're just hanging out with people who doing like to talk about smart things and they feel threatened by your intelligence or just don't get it and feel bad so they say you're a know it all. And at the risk of sounding mean, maybe you do say certain stuff that comes off as "know-it-all-y" like "Ohh you didn't know that ____, I thought everyone knew that" or "you're learning that right now? I knew how to do that in grade 2" ahha but I mean I'm not saying you personally do that but if someone did then those people might also feel hurt and feel stupid and as a result might call you a know it all. But let's say you don't do any of that, which is probably more close to the truth.. then do notttttNOTTNOTNOT change who you are. Try to seek out other people who value your intelligence. Your brain should be appreciated. Don't ever dumb yourself down for society. :)
I'm smart but everyone says I'm a know-it-all. It hurts my feelings. Should I try to be less smart? Is it stupid to be something you're not?
