Anyone else take jobs that are clearly below their status/capability so they'll always succeed and won't get fired? In the same vein, dating people that love you more than you love them so they won't leave you, hanging out with friends that you don't really like or respect so if they reject you you won't care? I've always been really smart and capable and everyone is always surprised when I want to work for them, etc. but I've consistently lived below my potential to keep myself safe
