So I'm in a group with these really smart people, much smarter than me. So I feel left out, or that they aren't listening to me. Maybe they think that since I'm not as smart as them, I won't make the good decisions. But I feel that I deserve a say in this.

-Am I not smart enough?

Dear Smart,

Everyone is smart enough, but you have to believe that yourself. Express yourself more in the group, and they will realize you can contribute really well too. People have strengths in all different areas. The people in your group aren't smarter than you, and they shouldn't make others feel that way either. If they can't realize this, then they are missing out on some amazing ideas. Let them know that you have a voice, and you can use it.
