I am 20 year old dropout with chemistry major.. How i became a brainlet ?
When i was young i spent hours in libraries reading books about physics and astronomy. I was that nerd kid type who got bullied sometimes. I couldn't wait to grow to be an adult. I wanted to do so many things in life like building robots and exploring space.. I know i was naive. After getting into higher education i realised i am stupid compared to my peers. How to cope with being a brainlet?

Your mistake is that you are comparing yourself with others instead of with yourself yesterday. Keep making progress and stop complaining about other people doing better.

Its a social class. Its plausible to, for instance be a literal moron and do well in elementary school. Being driven by parents expectation and inferiority complex.

>After getting into higher education i realised i am stupid compared to my peers.
your world grew, you have acquired what they called a perspective. I know that I dont know etc.

>How to cope with being a brainlet?
We dont know if you are a brainlet, your post sounds like a rant. Just be the best version of yourself, find some meaning in life, compromise in regard of your alleged brainlessness. I, for instance, decided to become a java dev. True there are more ambitious positions in our society. However seeing how I cant muster energy to be working 24/7, also my brain being relatively slower to some of my peers, Ive decided to compromise. I can still enjoy my job on the side, which provides me with some intellectual challenges. It ticks some other boxes as well. Depression can hit me sometimes as well about current state of affairs. You just persevere those moments, thats it.

Yeah this is one of the great wasted of intellect. You're only in a race with yourself.

Stop cooming everyday, stop using tablets/phones everyday, stop using 4chan everyday. Use the internet only when necessary for research. Don't watch TV. Read more books.
