I Admire Wit and Intelligence

I am an idiot, pretty much the dumbest person on earth.. i am completely incompetent. i returned to college hoping to gain some competence and skill, it's probably not possible for an idiot to become smart. i go to class and i'm uncomfortable with feeling like i'm the only one that knows what i'm doing. i like to have someone who knows just as much or more than i do. The teacher doesn't like to help anyone. i am happy to help everyone around me with my limited knowledge and skills. Still, I'm uncomfortable to apparently be learning the fastest, to be ahead of everyone in terms of skill. i'm not uncomfortable with being overly prepared for class. Yes, my class acquaintances give me dirty looks, but the more prepared i am, the better I can help them. i feel guilty anytime i'm not studying. Other students are behind, my instructor has told me to slow down, so i relaxed slightly. Don't ask me how i have a 4.0 GPA. Honestly, i feel stupid and incompetent. i'm beginning to feel less incompetent, because it seems as though everyone around me knows less than I. The only way I can feel secure is when someone knows more than I do. Why are no such people in any of my classes?

One that has upto 40 years experience isn’t incompeatant, maybe a little slow with the tech but wise and extremely wise in every other scenario mam :)

@Georgimy I'm not 40 yet, but almost. I don't have any experience other than life experience and recreation. What I consider recreation isn't common recreation.. they'd say that my fun is boring.
Lol yeah thats the age gap , Ul fit in no doubt and I wasn’t been rude and it says 35/40 and I just merely used that number . Sorry for causing offence but Ul certainly get there and will start enjoying new thing and wise verse, ur group will start to experience new epxperiences :)

@Georgimy I've had "boring" fun since I started school and discovered that I am apparently strange. No one else carried a dictionary and thesaurus everywhere they went. Still, I didn't get good grades in school.. I was always daydreaming. I didn't do homework and didn't learn how to multiply until 7th grade when a couple people sat down and explained it to me.
just means that u tossed it off back then , does mean ur less intelligent 🤓 lol Ul get through it , u have survived up till now havnt u ?? Think about that one

@Georgimy I'm glad that being the last person (so terribly late) to learn how to multiply doesn't make me stupid. 🤓
Far from it lol far from it (;
