I can't speak much to the feeling stupid aspect of things, except that, no matter how knowledgeable you are, there are always going to be things you don't know about, and most people don't mind explaining. Some of them really enjoy it!
(And one of the things I like about interacting online is that I can look up the references I don't get...)
first I must point out that your post is not factually accurate: I like your pictures (I would even go so far as to say I utterly goddamn love them)
also: high school. fucking. sucks. I graduated basically on luck with a GPA that embarrasses me to this day (2.3) . I've always felt stupid and not as bright as my friends, and sometimes I still have to say things like "hey that thing you do where you act like [thing] was obvious, or treat me like i'm stupid? please don't do that" to people I know. It sucks, but if your friends say stuff that makes you feel dumb, tell them to stop. If they don't, they're not good friends.
(because, seriously, you're awesome. not everyone can be an academic, but you're still bright and open minded and there's not a fucking thing wrong with that.)
