Is it normal i prefer people think i am stupid
Up until recently I wanted people to think I was smart, intelligent, hard working and thoughtful. Striving for this never got me anything but more work and responsibility but very little reward.
Now whenever someone asks me something I say I don't know. I ask how to do simple things, I pretend to know very little about the topic of a conversation.
While I make a lot less my life is much easier.
Is it normal to pretend to be dumber than you actually are?
