A reporter at a national publication is exploring the phenomenon of how smart people sometimes feel dumb in intimate social settings and needs sources to interview.
Have you ever clammed up in a business meeting, at a cocktail or dinner party, on jury duty, or at some other small social event—-even though you know you’re as smart (or smarter) than anyone else in the room? And is this a departure from your usual personality?

thiS happen to me all d time ..i dont kno if am “smatter” but obviously am not dumb..
At times I just dont understand how to say a simple hi or hello ..or how to react to Dem ..i find it difficult to find where I belong ..and feel crazy about it ..much of d time is wasted later analyzing the situation ..feeling of being left out.
