My trick to coping with that has been to seek out rooms or contexts in which I'm the stupid one, relatively speaking. I sometimes struggle with insecurity when doing this (especially as a bright kid who was "a big fish in a small pond"), but I never feel happier than when I'm learning from someone knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their little weird slice of the world.
