What's the best way to deal with high smv peers if you are not one? I am omw but in order to be one I would need to hang out with people who are high smv while not being a total coward.

I get a bit nervous and dont talk much when I am around people I consider high smv and there have been instances I have been made fun of by them but I let it go because I consider them high smv.

What's the best way to deal with them ?
