Do you (gifted) let other non gifted people know that you are?

Those of you who are "gifted" or +130IQ, are you open about it with other non gifted people/friends? I am not talking about bragging, only if you let other people know or you try to keep it secret or avoid the topic.

> I have about 145 IQ but I didn't know until I was 20 years old.
> People and friends picked on me acussing me of being a smartass (mostly vocabualry related, books were like crack cocaine)
> I thought I was stupid until my 20s but I still had to "dumb" myself to avoid the bullying. My yet undiagnosed ADHD (ADD) was making things even worse.
> Having "high" intelligence causes lots of concrete problems that I cant talk with anyone who is not near that range because they take it as if I am braging about it or attacking them. Being able to talk about your problems with other people is really important to cope with them...
> I post this here because, believe it or not, this is one of the places with higher average IQ on internet (its the norm on almost any anon forums).
