All he knows is what I tell him, and I can't for the life of me see how me talking about failing exams and being seen as weak and incompetent because of my depression by uni staff can possibly make him think I'm "exceptionally intelligent" or "gifted" or any of the other nonsense descriptors he's used?! I feel guilty that I'm somehow inadvertently giving him this false impression of me - I'm reasonably intelligent, but I'm nothing special!! And it annoys me because I feel like he *still* has no idea who I am...
Intelligence comes out in conversation.
I don't need to see the grades to know that almost everyone on this forum is well above average intellectually. Top 10%, mostly.
