I like to learn new things, useful or just out of curiosity, its all one to me. I've learned to code and manipulate code as well as css. I'm learning how to build apps. I've learned this, I've learned that, and all is good even though I am currently not applying my knew knowledge anywhere. Curiosity kills the cat (the most ignorant phrase I have EVER heard anybody tell me), when in fact it doesn't, It feels good learning new things. I feel good.
Now, going back to my title. "Don't like being the smartest person in the room". What does that mean to me? I've done a lot to better myself and change my group of people who I "relate" to. Changed the way I dress on a daily basis, I speak more confidently, positive mindset, work out, changed my posture, educate myself, dissolved my old environment, yet somehow I keep ending up back in that same level, with new people.
meetup.com- very innovative way to meet "likeminded" people but did not better me
mentor.com- tried, failed. I like seeking knowledge from people that do much better than me, but nobody wants to mentor
Sailing clubs- Same thing
and this list seems to continue.
I've even went so far as going where the very wealthy casually hang out (even though very expensive) to make an effort to meet new people on the same (personality) level. Talked to a few. Very positive, natural same level conversations, but ended up costing me quite a bit and no solid connections.
I am considering moving to a new state.
Why can't I seem to tap in to a better social group? Do I need to be a Harvard graduate or something? I cannot figure this out.
