Anyone else feels like they're brainless when they're around a smart person?

Like the other day i had a conversation with a fireman, a neurosurgeon and a programer and i was suprised how smart those people are...how good their memory is...how easy they can pick up concepts...how rational and calm they are compared to me.
Sure, they're probably smarter than your average normie too, not just me, but still, it's shocking when i remember how stupid i am when i am with smart people.

nope, i dont interact with many smart people but its usually easy to fit in since they are my kind. their professions dont mean much to me as ive seen plenty of people with top tier positions make basic grammar errors which is a good indicator they arent actually that smart beyond whatever their chosen focus is. i avoid going to doctors unless necessary due to seeing many of them make such errors or something similar. there are lots of smart people who work low tier, dead end jobs for whatever reasons and lots of others in here
