Is it normal to be smart and yet feel stupid all the time?

Being smart only makes you more aware of how stupid you really are. I feel like that was a quote from someone.... If not, I'm totally claiming that!

I as well have an above average IQ and live life as slightly lazy and an underachiever. I feel like an idiot for not taking advantage of the opportunities that I was presented with!

It's normal to feel like an idiot. I have an over average IQ as well but I'm always feeling so fucking crazy and obnoxious.

I act like an idiot, though, just to let it all out. You're not an idiot, you just feel like one. Don't worry, you're not.

I have an IQ of ███ and I've been more stupid at times than anyone I know. Sometimes I look at people and I'm amazed at how easy they find things.

Even though I hated school, I was an advanced reader all during my school years. I never studied for exams, tests or quizzes, yet always passed them with a B or higher. My friends tell me I'm smart all the time but, even with them and my school history, I feel like some dreamy, lost, over-imaginitive girl. I don't think I'm intelligent or smart at all, just sort of skimming by.

Who doesn't feel stupid from time to time?

There's no-one stupider than the person who doesn't ever question their own intelligence. An IQ of 100 is average BTW.

Having a high IQ, I think means something, but obviously not everything. Everyone is smart in ways and has their own short comings in others. It's normal :>

I feel exactly the same as you... :/ 126 is above average but you're not a genius
