I don't know how else to pose this question without sounding like a pretentious jerk, because I am very considerate of others. In fact I think of others before I think of myself.
Anyway, I often find myself socializing with people who I consider inferior to me in regards to intellect, morality, principles, outlooks on life etc... Of course I don't consider my views to be the authority on what is superior, and I know that people are different. However I find myself "toning down" my figure of speech, mannerisms, attitude, etc.. in order to "fit in" with the group. To some of you this may seem as though I am being fake or putting up a facade. But I always stay true to what I believe, I just simplify it thats all because I do not want to offend. It's a very delicate balance.
Some of you may suggest that I just need to get some new friends. However I like the ones that I have, they are just simple-minded. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a child.
