Question

Do you feel comfortable enough around the smarter friends?

Answer 1

no.

"God, if you cant make me clever, make my friends stupid."

:D im joking...jst so long as they dont rub it in my face.

Answer 2

most my friends are smarter but i use that to my advantage and make myself the "joker" or arm bar them

Answer 3

well.. i take it as a challenge........ i feel comfortable cuz you can learn new things, and new tricks to be good at school!

Answer 4

well I consider myself smarter than lots of kids in my class. And I feel uncomfortable around the less smart kids because they don't add many points to the conversation and it makes it awkward because I don't know if they are not interested in me or the subject......

ex: oh my goodness I hate that substitute teacher

Response: I know she is very mean

Silence.

Answer 5

NO< I didn't like hanging with snobs that thought they was smarter than other people...You can be smart and be down to earth too....I hang with smart people and not so smart, that is the kind of person I am..

Answer 6

I would love to experience that. I usually AM the "smarter friend".

Answer 7

Yes.  In fact, I enjoy being around someone with higher intelligence or college degrees....there is always something you can learn from them.

I have been lifetime friends with a family whose kids became doctors and lawyers. In grade school, we were pretty equal in knowledge and all got A's. As they progressed through higher education, they became even more interesting to be around. Also have friends who are specialists in technology, building, music and other things. We frequently call upon each others knowledge to help with problems, get another opinion, and its great. When they are thinking of opening a business, they call me. For technology questions, my husband. One of our pals we call "Radio Shack" because he knows everything about televisions and stuff. Having friends who are smart is a great thing....you can always learn from them.

Answer 8

it's better than being surrounded by a bunch of dumb folk

Answer 9

Yes, well most of the times i have 3 really good friends that make me look like George bush next to their smarts.

Sometimes they will go off into a big conversation about techie stuff that i don't understand etc but you learn as you go along so ............. :)

And i like to take comfort in everyone having their own strengths some of these super smart people lack common sense, general knowledge about current events or minority's cultures.

So it is not so bad.

PS one of them is my boyfriend, he is really really smart, sometimes i feel abit dumb but hey....
