Do you consider yourself a smart person

United Kingdom
January 11, 2017 10:18am CST
I like to think that I am a reasonably intelligent person, I am no Einstein, but I get by. But there are quite a few people in my life that don't think I am bright so this makes me doubt myself sometimes. It has always been the same and I wonder what it is that makes them think I am stupid. How about you? Do you consider yourself smart?

I never show myself smart..such people are always pointed in other's view and likely to have more enemies

Smartness is not by showing ...its doing smart work....by showing....its termed to be an oversmart person... :)

Well I think I am and I don't really mind what others would say for I know myself more than they do.

That is a good way to be! Not caring if people think you are smart.

No I do not think I am smart at all mostly because my memory has always been so poor.

Sometimes I consider myself smart, sometimes I feel I'm not. I'm just an average person.

When I was growing up, the word “smart” meant you got As and Bs in most of your school subjects. So if that's the “measure” being used, then yes I'm smart. I'm also ignorant about a lot of stuff. So am I smart or not? I believe we're all intelligent beings.

That's very true, we are all intelligent in our own way.

There is nothing that will make you appear stupid than if the people around you think you are. It seems they have power over your words and actions at that point.

@Clairelouiser Maybe those same pretentious people aren't as smart as they think they are. I'm not as dumb or smart as I think I am .... whatever that means

I get that, I'm not as dumb as I think I am at times and I am certainly not as smart as I would like to think!

To me, if you (you here as in plural) think you are smart, then there will others smarter than you. If you think you know every thing, then there will be others know more than you do... So, I am smart in someway...
