Right! This is why I say it has more to do with being stubborn than being smart. If you're determined to find a solution and you're half decent at research and following instructions, you can figure a lot out, but people treat it like you invented the thing with some magical knowledge that they could never possess.
You've just articulated a feeling I've had most of my life, but couldn't have described better.
Solving trivial problems for people they could easily do themselves if they just muddled through the work of it. Then act like I'm a genius, when it's really just 'stubbornness' and refusing to admit i can't figure it out.
Thanks for that.
