Is it wrong? When I have conversations I sometimes act as if I have no knowledge some particular subjects. I know I partly do it to hear out the other person's opinion, but why?

The best possible reason could be that you want to learn more and the worst could be that you do not want others to learn better. Either way, it is somewhat selfish.... up to you to decide if right or wrong... in my view, being selfish in a competitive world is natural and not wrong.

sounds like you don't have confidence in your own opinion so keep it to yourself. further, you may have learnt to believe that your opinion is of no value from a role model or negative experiences growing up.
many women have been taught that to be acceptable and attractive, you act dumb - don't want those men to feel insecure or less than you!! you haven't been taught that women have a valuable contribution, and instead play the dumb role. don't undervalue your self.
try adding your opinions, see what happens - would make for a more interesting conversation for all involved.

Thats not naive, but reserved. Naive has more to do with a trusting nature, believing most are truthful; Wanting to believe inthe best of people. Naive is like being gullable.

I have the same problem. I act dumb in front of people because it makes them laugh when i am not dumb and most often then not the subject we talk about I know more about it then they.

No its not wrong, but are you doing to hear them out or because you are afraid of being wrong? Worst thing you could do is not correct some one. Hear them out, and dont be afraid to give your input.
