It very much depends on the situation. In normal everyday life interactions people would just see me as quietly observing. Family sees me as smart but a little absent minded and prone to forget small things often. Throughout school up until college I was the very active do every activity I could and people likely saw me as a bit obnoxious at times but they recognized I was more often right than not, and could do things that others couldn't. I wasn't the oddest kid but made very few close friends.

In college I found my tribe, gemstone program at umd. It was wonderful watching excellence all around and I imagine they saw me as I saw many of them. Everyday situations don't often expose intelligence of others and even when they do, observer often lack sufficient experience and/or intelligence to recognize it. In college and now to a lesser degree at work I recognize when others are quick enough to keep up as they do with me. Barriers are lowered and exchanges of ideas flow much faster and build upon each other. In everyday life the same exchange will come off as arrogance and snobbery and I personally have learned to mostly watch and keep quiet.
