This has been an issue for me since the dawn of STUFF. People always think I'm more intelligent than I think I am, when I'm pretty sure that I'm as dumb as a post. No one seems to take my word for it. ;/

Dumb as a post. That's rich.

no, I have enough problems with being as smart as I am without making things worse by believing myself to be smarter than that

It happens sometimes with me. Some people think I'm really, really smart, but I'm not THAT smart...at least when it comes to Calculus and all that abstract math. >.<

My older sister thinks I'm some kind of genius.

My younger sister thinks the same thing! And she's almost done with college, to become a forensic scientist, and I'm a high school dropout! XD;;

Occasionally. My dad seems to have the misconception that I am so brilliant computer guru or something. I have no idea where he got that notion from... =P

Well, I'm in my first year of university and she's the high school dropout.

Clearly Nikkou is me in OPPOSITE LAND.

I'm your younger sister!? Gaspu! D:

I still think it's weird, though. Although I'm surprised with what I know, sometimes.

Nuh-uh. It's not you thinking that you're smarter than you think, but others. That drill hasn't bored through your cranium, has it? ;p

I've never had a problem with others thinking I'm smarter than I am, I can usually prove them right after a while.

To the moon, Xia! To the moon! Not past it!

And, on this point, I try to prove people wrong. Me? Smart? How absurd!
