often people say that they have to stoop to the level of the crowd to fit in. a few of my friends tease me about how dum i am because i forgot which way i was going, or didn't get into a class that they got into, but isn't it just a matter of perspective and specialty? or, do you believe that you are more complex and capable than others?
Do you consider yourself to be the smartest person in the room?

Never assume you are the smartest person in the room. It's one thing to be self aware, but it is better to hear others comment on you being smart (just thank them if they say so and keep those thoughts to yourself). Humility is key.
Don't let yourself step into arrogance or hubris, because that's when you really make an ass of yourself and a downfall.
No.! I listen more than talk in the room then I pray a lot though and I have discovered that some people are so jealous and insecure for talking down on others and trying to plant suspicion in others relationships.
Depends on the room. Most of the time I am, but it's fun when I'm not.
You don't have to stoop as low as the dumbest person around you, but you do need to adjust enough to not alienate people.
The purpose of speaking is to be understood, so you wouldn't strain your vocabulary around somebody who is just starting to learn English. Right? This is no different.
No, im very dumb for most things and for the ones i know, i can't communicate about them

It depends on which room. I've been with people I've confidently felt far more intelligent than and I've likewise been in rooms with people where I was clearly the moron in the group.
No I always like to be a quiet professional but actions speak louder than words

I don't really compare myself to others. I only measure my mental abilities against myself, so I'm always smarter than I was in the past and I work to keep it that way.

At the Moment, I'm not only the smartest in the room, but also the dumbest. (It's just me, here)
