      Great Question!! I’ve been struggling with this for a long time, especially with someone who constantly doubts their own brain and performance. It’s applying and living everyday, especially with the amount of school work I do, (prestigious city science high school) so I am barely alive the nights and few breaks during the weekdays, and when holidays and weekends come, I rest and slip back to unhealthy habits of AI use (chatbots, haha…) and watching slop videos at YT, so it’s been a struggle, so… it’s just been RAGHHH in my mind.

        I get you. Studying can be hard if you’re aiming for very high grades or the school is giving you a lot of homework or projects. My college life was tiring too. I had many nights with 0 or little 💤, in contrast to my work where I had 1 sleepless night only. (I observed that my face was oilier when I had 0 💤 compared to normal 💤.) Instant ☕ was my pal. In college I was so busy studying that I didn’t have time for organizations.

        Please up your confidence re your intelligence. Humans are learners. It’s OK to take time in digesting a hard topic and to err sometimes. Please think re the future. The path is uphill. You’ll improve. You’ll be smarter.

          Haha, guess you’re right. It’s typical for me to lack confidence in my studies, but I’ve always tried, no matter the result. Just, can’t help after seeing it.
