First half describes me, second part does not. Never struggled in school or university (although I did fail lectures because I was too lazy to show up for exams).

But I also never defined myself about being "the smart kid", I always rejected that notion. Society didn't and still projected it onto me. That's why I'm breaking down crying every other day. I always tried to help people that do struggle, I always tried to keep my "gift" as far away from conversation as possible. It didn't matter, I'm a failure.
