I'm getting really annoyed with this. I'm an educated college student and some of my close friends have never been to college. So, I get the "know it all" and "you act like you're a f**king genius" and all that stuff all the time. That's not it at all. I like my friends, I like their company, and I like how we have different perspectives. I DO listen to what they say, but I don't always agree. Sometimes I also will tell them, when they start to go on a tangent , "is there a point to this story?" Or, when they start telling me about things that I have studied and have become common knowledge to me, I say "yeah, I know about that" or "I've studied that", just so that they don't have to keep explaining something to me I already know. I see it as a courtesy so that they don't have to OVER explain things to me, but instead, they see it as me being a know-it-all. So, should I just act stupid for the sake of socialization and to make others happy?
