Why everyone around me seems more intelligent to me? I always seek advice and ideas from others but I am not able to give my ideas to others?

I feel like I'm slow compared to other people around me. Not only in terms of knowledge but also in terms of worldliness. Everyone has at least one quality but I think I don't have anyone.

Whenever you compare yourself to others, you will always find yourself lacking. I sounds like it's more of a confidence issue. Keep in mind, that just because they may know some things you don't, that doesn't mean they're more intelligent. I'm sure there are things you know about that they don't.

I think that everyone has something that makes them distinct, their personality, who they are, that is theirs alone.

You're young.

I believe that you'll find your "thing".

Being quiet and listening, absorbing knowledge, is a sign of intelligence.

The day will come when you'll find that others may value what you have to say.

Wisdom travels many paths.

You should give Chef Culo's posts a read! You would find there is at the very least one person that is clearly dumber than you! The fact that you spelled everything correctly makes you a genius compared to him. He would have had at least 6 words misspelled.

first of all you are wise to ask advice that is the advantage not pretending to be a no it all and conceited boasting. often people in a situation can't be objective while an outsider can suggest other options

Honestly that ability to ask for help I'd put over a know it all any day!

Only in movies are super smart people amazing. Irl they are asses that every one hates.

You are incorrect. The mere realization that you do not know everything puts you ahead of a lot of people on this site. And a lot of things come from experience.

About half of the people you think are smart are making it up.
