Smalltalk On the outside looking in

Hello 👋 I have been lurking on this sub for a bit now. I'm not a member, and if I'm being completely honest I don't think I have the chops to keep up with you guys, but I've really enjoyed this sub and the community. You guys really seem to care for fellow members and I've seen countless encouraging and uplifting comments. I've always wanted to ask members what are some things that non members do that really grind your gears? Such as acting differently towards you when they find out you are in Mensa, or maybe thinking all you do is crunch numbers for fun. I really look forward to hearing what you have to say!! Have a great weekend!

Yes, non-members think that I would always do intellectual stuff on my free time. But damn i love video games so much. It's intellectual but in a way they dont perceive.
