Do people put you down for being intelligent, good looking, rich, well dressed, clean, educated,
or anything else that should be considered a good trait?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
ANd then there are times like last nite when this guy was teaching me how to make pizza he kept going over and over it. I learn very very very fast. Show me something once and let me go. If I am doing it wrong reteach me once. If I have a question I will ask it and then maybe one more time. By then I usually have it down pat. It was kinda funny cause the chef didnt want to over load me on my first nite which was nice I guess but some how teaching me how to grate cheese with thier fancy grater and making dough would be too much for me to handle... I dont get it.
Society as a whole needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themself what they can do to improve instead of condemning all of the time.

Seriously though, I do sometimes get the 'eye' if I say something intelligent. It's as if because I'm BP I shouldn't be smart at all.
Also my analytical ability, need to excel and always do better, research capability, interest in the latest research.
In addition, seeing things in black gray or at other times white and all shades in between or seeing both sides of an argument and being open to both sides of an item. Politically I get in trouble or have the potential to get very in trouble and actually offend people with another point of view. I have spent the last 10 years in Louisiana which is mainly Democrat. I moved to Replulican(sp) country, Kansas. Democratic ideas have been presented to the point that I changed from Repubican(sp) to Independant.
In addition, growing up my mother is a firm Presbyterian now as an elder of the church who was very active. My father believes in G-d, currently very mad at him for an incident that happened in 1980. He is claims to be an athesist (sp) but at other times an agnostic or a believer in G-d.
And sex between my parents, let's not go there. To sum up a very interesting childhood. Very confusing. It made me very independent in my thinking. And highly critical in my reading skills and listening skills.
(1) People put others down so they feel better. It is a sign of inferiority and jealously IMHO.
