Annoyed with my intelligence

Maybe it's not what you say but how you say it. A lot of people don't want to discuss the hypotenuse of a traingle. Take a break sometimes. Enjoy saying stupid ****, it's one of the pleasures of life. It won't benefit you in life being always intellectual all the time.

sup
sup brah
hey man how r u doing

What I do is change my dialect depending on who I'm speaking with. So with some people I speak in slang, and with other people I can speak very intellectually.

People keep saying I outsmart them, that I discuss and talk too intelligent for them and then they don't want to discuss the (in my eyes, simple) things I want to discuss.
They also keep saying that I'm this 'super intelligent and clever guy', while I feel I have said nothing in a conversation that could lead to that conclusion. The other day I was just messing around, having small intellectual banter, talking about how all sides of a triangle equate 180 degrees and the hypotenuse of Pythagoras. All of a sudden people go "Woah man, you seem really clever!!". Yeah, what, you didn't study that stuff in high school? Man, I feel sad for some people.

I can be talking about almost anything and people will come out of the blue and call me 'very intelligent'. I don't know what's up with these people. I can't even discuss what's for me normal intellectual discussion - apparently for some people it's out of their league. Wooh, you discuss causation in physics, wooh, you must be some genius! Come on, give me a break.

The weirdest part is that I'm not even aware that I'm 'too smart'. Maybe I just hang out with dumb people.. who knows? Being myself is intellectually too exhausting for others, it seems.

I wonder if anyone is in the same boat as me.

Don't dumb down for anyone else. Don't have a superiority or inferiority complex. Surround yourself with people who challenge rather than exasperate you.

This is one of those learning about yourself and being comfortable with it kind of things.*

Lol why are you making jokes about hypotenuses and triangles?
It seems a bit random and that's probably why most of the people you're talking about can't relate and believe you're on a different level. Also, what exactly do you mean by 'small intellectual banter'? As in can you give an example.
Perhaps you should find other people to talk to who would share similar interests to yours.

Also, it's probably a different people are on different wave lengths kind of thing. It's likely that I wouldn't understand a maths joke but generally speaking it's important to find people who share your humour and world view as I've got older, for example, I've realised that there are certain views that people hold that means I'm not gonna be able to be good friends with them. And that's ok. You're experiencing self awareness op. Enjoy it

All right, small intellectual banter, (this one is known) here goes:

John and Jack go to a bar. The waiter asks: "What will it be?"
John says: "I'll have some H²O"
Jack says: "I'll have some H²O too "
Moments later, Jack suffocates.

I think this joke is a very easy one.

I get it $H^202$

Don't dumb down for anyone else. Don't have a superiority or inferiority complex. Surround yourself with people who challenge rather than exasperate you.

That's naive. To get by in the world you have to get along with people from all walks of life, of all education and intellectual levels. Alienating people by having a compulsive need to discuss GCSE level knowledge that half of us forgot the day after exams is not going to get you very far, or impress anyone of worth.

I know quite a few people who fit the OPs description, who feel the need to show their intelligence by discussing academic content in every day conversation, and they aren't the cleverest I know. But they do fool people into thinking they're clever, and then the disappointment is tangible when others suss them out.

I do dislike that sort of person. I like people to talk about interesting topics, but there's a time and a place, if you do it compulsively you'll come across as an arse.
