1. Actually it is better to be the dumbest person in the room, you can learn. It is another problem if you are the smartest person in the room. How do you get new input/ideas. Take it as an opportunity to learn. "It's better to annoy someone with questions than piss them off with incompetence". If you get a task assigned just take your time, don't try to compare yourself with them, they will work faster than you. If you make something make sure you understand everything and you should ask questions if something is not clear, fuck their attitude. Make something you can defend by understanding everything. Take your time to understand it. If you half ass something there won't be time to fix it later on. Try looking into being assertive.

2. No it is not normal, but if you work a little longer you standup for yourself and ask questions, they may expect the same from you.

3. The best people are the ones that are open for discussions and discover new ideas or views.
