As someone else who is insanely smart but doesn't bring it up as I may sound douchey, I was set to be supportive, the whole fooling everybody thing makes me wonder about how truly smart you are. You may still be, but it strikes me as sociopathic (even my mother doesn't know shows empathy or understanding or family).

I can say this to you, as you'll understand, though. Is it not the most frustrating thing in the world to understand this absolutely massive concept and then have it be completely dismissed as it's too far out of reach for others? Not all others, of course, but those who are perceived as smart are above average. For those of us who are way way above average, we are even dismissed by those who are above average. The average are smart enough to recognize the above average as intelligent, but not all the levels above that.

IME the smarter someone is, the less they say they are.
The less intelligent someone is, the more likely they are to claim to be highly intelligent

Dunning-Kruger Effect

That's what my theory of the disconnect is based on. It's always what gave me the jolt of panic in thinking that I am, perhaps, actually mentally challenged and just totally unaware of this fact, hahaha. I'm not joking, it actually scares the hell out of me from time to time.
