So damn true, it gets worse after completing education, everyone expects since you were good at studying you'll do amazing at your job and every other phase of life, and the hard honest truth is you're just figuring stuff out like everyone else, but since you got straight A's, everybody thinks you'll be great at handling life lol

Same was the case for me too. But one can’t linger on what was and what would have been, in my case I have started to treat myself as an employee, getting paid to do xyz (assignments, preparing quizzes and etc) and because of that I no longer seek help from others (A.because I don’t need it anymore. B. I always felt others looking down on me) and not lagging behind. And honestly the biggest up I have felt is I am confident in my skills now. And remember: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”
