I don't think I am gifted but consider myself highly intelligent. It takes me less time to see through a situation and come up with a solution than those around me. People around me generally respect my insight. However, I have learnt lately that many people, both at work and personal life, are intimidated by me. (Well, one person admitted it to me so I started asking others and it was a general consensus). I never would do anything to make people feel insecure so not sure what I can do to make people more comfortable around me. Anyone else realize this is an issue and any ideas on how to deal with this?
