Hiding is such a waste of time... a diversion of energy... think of what you might do if you took your brain power and didn't try to subdue it. I understand why you hide it... much like a beautiful woman will downplay her looks... why are we so afraid of ourselves, of our potentials? That's why, sometimes it's good to be with people who are as smart, if not smarter than you... so you don't have to hide. (although you could argue, that people who are not so smart feel intimidated as well...and hide in their own ways... we all have something to feel intimidated about) I know you also realize that there are many different ways to be "smart" ... not just academically. Are you comfortable being around people who are smarter than you? How often does that happen? If it doesn't happen much maybe you aren't so comfortable with it. You have an incredible gift... you ARE smart. Use it for good, make a difference.
