I still can't find the right person and I'm probably "too smart" for them.

I didn't mean to sound like that. I tried to impress them and show them that I have a quality they seek for. I paired up with a cute guy for class project in the past We got A. I tried to give him a chance to take the lead but he didnt seem interested and he said he had no clue. I did most of work....

I didn't try to show my intelligence, but I felt bad when I turned down my team because I wasn't good at doing physical stuff such as sports and so on. When we did quiz, I knew all answers. I couldn't be quiet so I had to insist on choosing answers. They all were correct. We got a lot of points and we won. I was relieved and I hoped I made them happy. They still didn't seem to appreciate having me around. I said nothing.

I tried not to show my intelligence, so I was quiet and reserved. I avoided from talking about certain topics unless they started.

It is like I cannot hide my intelligence but they will find out.
