Have you been called a genius, just because you know a little bit more?

Have you ever been called a genius just because you know a little bit more about a certain topic than any other person does? and were embarrassed to admit that you only new more stuff on a specific subject, after you are bombarded with questions after?

I haven't and won't be called a genius, but i've been claimed clever by friends. Yeah, geniuses are few but i have to admit, geniuses do exsit, but not me. I'm just a common man, if i have got good achievements, it's only because i'm studious enough to earn these results. I will be a little embarrassed when people saying i'm clever, Lol. Good luck

I have been called a genius once or twice, and in general, I am considered as being a veery studious person, I don't know why. I have tried to convince people that I'm not at all studious, that the grades I receive in college are steadily declining, and I am not that brilliant, but they feel that it is just a transitory phase, that I'll again be back in no time. Like I'm just taking it casually for the time being, whenever I'll be serious again, I'll be topping once more. It is flattering at times, but at others, it really becomes annoying when people refuse to help me thinking that I can do it all by myself, being the genius I am.

Hahahahaa - it's not likely I'd be called a genius, though someone did comment on my blog that I was a 'comic genius'! That's fine with me - life is far too serious these days ...
