Intellectuals and other smart/gifted/genius people: Do you sometimes feel your intellect is a curse?

I wouldn't like to boldly say that I'm one of the above... but I do have a problem with over yzing things rather often. I do wish I could have some way to adjust how I look at things dependent on my environment. Often I wish to have a lower level thinking when I'm around friends... because they're often telling me that I'm thinking too much and need to "relax".
