I'm also much smarter than average, and it used to bother me.

I agree with your call to patience. In some way, we can see intelligence, and general wisdom as two axis.

Beyond patience, consider working on your compassion. You could try meditation, walks and any number of strategies, but foremost, you need to consider all those around us as worthwhile, regardless of their skills, intelligence, wisdom or anything else.

It is up to you to see beyond the superficial, and work your gifts for the benefit of those around you. If you mix your intelligence with compassion, you should be able to make others come to your view.
