I'm underemployed. I make a fairly low salary for my experience level and my job isn't challenging. I'm currently looking for other opportunities, but as many of you know, the job market is still recovering so it hasn't been easy. I've been interviewing a lot but so far haven't found the right opportunity.

My husband, on the other hand, has a great job at a great company, making a very competitive amount of money. Which is great, and I'm certainly not denying it. I'm very happy for him and fortunate to be a part of his success. The biggest problem is that he works with a lot of very successful, intelligent people who are married to/dating people who are also super successful and intelligent. I'm having trouble keeping up in social situations with these people and their spouses.

I can tell people are being condescending when they hear what I do. And I just feel so stupid! I have a bachelor's degree, but it's been a while since my brain has been challenged and I just feel like a total moron in social situations with these incredibly talented people. It doesn't help that I'm not great in social situations to begin with and I have anxiety. I hate going out to work events with the husband anyway, and this just makes it worse.

Anyone have any tips on how to deal with this??
