I need to be a little dumber so all the cool kids will hang out with me. Should I beat myself in the head with a hammer or do lots of drugs or.......? Please give me your suggestions on this. DW

Just hang out here on Yahoo Answers and you'll soon be as dumb as they get

Yes, I'm a genius. Sometimes it's hard to live with But be thankful for what God has given you. You won't find other people more friendly toward you by being any dumber. Live your life the best you can. Be genuine, caring and interested in others. There's no need to flaunt your smarts by always knowing all the answers. Some of us are meant to be one way. some are meant to be another. Yes it would be so nice to be in with the cool kids but as you grow older and mature, you'll come to realize just how obnoxious those kids are and how glad you are that you aren't one of them. Be your own person. Be smart enough to march to your own music. Use that intelligence for what it were given to you for.

Your own the right track with the drug taking. Smoke a lot of pot so your short term memory will be messed up and drink a lot of hard alcohol while you stay up for days on speed. While your at it, never read the Bible and rely upon what all of the "cool kids" have to say as the true way to look at the world.

The problem with being smart is it doesn't mean you know anything.
Don't try to be dumb, try to talk less and listen more and master somthing useful. When you feel like opening your mouth, ask someone a question about them or somthing they do instead of talking about yourself. You'll find it more interesting than your obsession with yourself, that's exactly the sort of thing you should practice keeping to yourself.
Otherwise you'll be lonely and no one will care if you're smart or dumb at all. =P

Well your confidence is admirable, but you should avoid being too cocky and thinking you're better than everyone else.
You can be a "genius" and be "normal." Don't act superior- don't flaunt your IQ.
Be friendly and fun-loving, and people will flock to you regardless of IQ.
I think IQ's not as important as how you use your intelligence and personality.

You've made a start by asking this dumb question. I'm not trying to make light of this, but you need to accept yourself and be proud of who you are. Years from now the "cool" kids won't matter any more.

smoke pot, drink with sleeping pills, but I wouldn't do it to be cool. and I'm not sure it will work. out of all the braincells I have killed, the people around me still seem far stupider than me. Maybe find a geneticist and have them give you som stupid genes.

It's not smart or dumb that is probably your problem, it's arrogance. You don't have to be the one with all the answers all the time. Stop and listen, and support other decisions.

A real genius could figure this one out. Perhaps you should retake the tests.

Just don't be smart in front of your friends.
You're really lucky to be in the ranks with us geniuses -- 2% of the world.
Don't throw it away. You don't have to use it, just don't get rid of it to make yourself cooler.
