I think what you are doing is not giving yourself enough credit for who you are, and not realizing what you could potentially bring to each person you meet.
I've felt the way you feel before. But then I shifted my perspective to one of understanding I have something dynamic and extraordinary to offer to each person I meet.
Try that mindset out for a while, I'm sure you will find it much more empowering.

I've taken that approach, but sometimes it turns into a thing where I feel I'm too good for them, or they're too simple, or we won't understand each other because of different levels of thinking. I'm just describing the worst cases that have happened to me. Most of the time I'm actually amazed by the other people I can find who are also advanced, thinking with similar a mindset as I.
