How do you deal with inferiority?

I have two parents and three older siblings. My parents both have PhDs, and my siblings are certified geniuses. People also call me a "genius," but I'm the runt who always falls short of his siblings. How do you deal with people being better than you?

I know the feel because I grew up with more comparisions than most kids. The one thing I will tell you is that, think of everyone as statistics. They all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
It's not possible for you to have no talent. So recognize your talent and excel at it. That is enough to shut them up. Even if your talent is making shoes, make it like Jimmy Choo (my mum always said this to me 😂)
