If you are around retards, it feels like being in the movie Idiocracy. They are functionally incapable of engaging you beyond simple conversation.
If you are around midwits, it feels like an episode of the Outer Limits (which is better than the Twilight Zone, fight me). They think of themselves as knowledgeable, intelligent even. They are blissfully ignorant of the ways in which they are manipulated on a day to day basis, believing themselves to be informed even as they are misdirected and propagandized.
If you are around other intelligent people, you don't stand out. Your experience will differ depending on how much of a sociopath they are.
Being intelligent isn't some mystical superpower. It just means you are a monkey with a bigger brain. You are still fallible to manipulation. It is incredibly important to be aware of your limitations. You are just as capable of making retarded mistakes at 150 IQ as someone with 80 IQ. The only difference is that you might learn not to make them again.
I would say that the biggest problem with being smart is that it is very difficult to make genuine connections with people, because the smarter you are, the harder it is to find someone who can really engage with you.
It really depends on who you are around.
