That's true, pretending doesn't work, but neither does being myself. If being myself means showing everyone that I am dumb, then no it would not work. And no, you don't just stop being dumb, your IQ is pretty much hard-wired into you. The only thing you can do is keep quiet to avoid saying something stupid, and that falls under the category of pretending. So I'm pretty much screwed I think.
And if people don't like being lied to, then they should stop being judgmental and intolerant.
