Youre not special like mom and dad always preached. Nothing wrong with it, just time to find other sources of meaning outside of work. I mean I scored like stupid good on all my tests throughout my entire life I just think the real world doesn't give a shit. I know it's a cliche that people insist they're smarter than they actually are but I am fairly intelligent, at least math-wise, I'm not good at words and stuff. Maybe if I was more clever I'd find ways to market myself and become massively successful but the opportunity is not presenting itself because the real world doesn't care about me, nobody does, and I'm definitely going to die alone. You probably are more intelligent than the average person in terms of the general population. The issue is that at this level of education and for the field, you might be average (or even if you are more intelligent than your peers academically, there seems to be so many other aspects you need to improve to push ahead of the pack). As callous as this seems, as a doctor, its staggering to see exactly how stupid the general population is and how insanely intelligent some of my colleagues are. I think Im probably top 3 in terms of medical knowledge and and self study as far as residents in my program, but I can be a little lazy and it pushes me so far back behind those with excellent drives and average intelligent for a resident/physician. --- https://imgur.com/SGkkbF0 <cite>MrPeppers posted [p:925401520] in I think I ...
