social protip: when someone compliments you on something, especially something relating to intelligence or intelligent statements, it is usually in your best interest to respond graciously or, better yet, don't respond at all, and instead continue to bring said content to the table. when you say things like "I KNOW I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL EVERYBODY I'M SMART BUT NOBODY LISTENS", it kind of negates any good you did in the first place. I could tell everyone in the world i'm the king of fucking europe, but until i'm actually sitting on a gold throne in a castle in london and ordering guards to hang some motherfuckers, people probably aren't going to take my claim too seriously.
have you ever seen the episode of seinfeld, where george tells a funny joke and people laugh but then he ruins it by continuing talking, and what he really needs to do is just learn to back out of the situation while he's ahead? thats kinda like what you do.
