I understand, or I don't understand, and I have no problem admitting either. I thought this was normal, but it appears, it isn't... in fact, some people would (maybe even literally) rather die than admit they don't understand something
This was a costly lesson for me to learn. Your general predicament has been referred to as The Curse of the High IQ (author Aaron Clarey).
Once you realize how much smarter you are than the norm, you realize that talking to someone of average intelligence is the same as someone of average intelligence talking to someone who is mentally handicapped. 2 std dev is 2 std dev.

Anyway I highly recommend Clarey’s book.
