One should not lower oneself to their standards or expectations. Go ahead and tower above them, making better decisions and more intelligent choices. Some of them will catch on.

sadly, that used to only be a problem every once in a while and now it seems it's a problem all the time EVERY where I go. i figure if I act smart, they will leave.. stupid people can't stand to be around smart people. or can they? i wouldn't know

I keep the conversation light. I try not to surround myself with people I can't learn from since I like to grow, mentally.

-.- I'm having the same issue myself. I just stop talking if their being painfully dumb... -.-

I sing something inside my head. Now I've said that, I have a feeling I might be one of the stupid people :)

Just keep your mouth shut, and they won't notice. It is actually possible to get a different perspective from everyone, no matter what their intelligence if you just listen and think.
-
Well stop judging people so harshly, maybe. You know, you may appear to be stupid to some, also. Would you like that? Be patient, "stupid people" are people too.

Where do you get the attitude that you're so much smarter than everyone else? How arrogant! I have met "intelligent" people with no common sense and/or wisdom and I have met "seemingly non-intelligent" people with much wisdom and common sense. I think you might find there are other things to look for in a person besides the level of their IQ, like how they treat other people..... Go sit in the corner
