graduate school - How do really talented people in academia think about people who are less capable than them?



To be more specific, how do really top professors think about students who are much less smart than them, the students can be their Ph.D. students or just students who were taking his/her class.


This is a main problem I am concerned about when I have something I don't understand, and because of this, I am often hesitant to ask my professors or other friends, because I am afraid that they would look down upon me and think I am too stupid/useless/incapable, etc?


Can someone who know this give me some advice to overcome this unhealthy attitude?
