Yep, I'm the same way. I test in the 96th percentile for intelligence, but it's hard for me to succeed in life becuase of my CPTSD. I have been dismissed throughout my life as a person who shouldn't need help because I'm so smart. Stupid people receive help more easily because people perceive them as being "worthy" of help, just based on their stupidity alone. Then I sometimes feel guilty for being like an elitist or something because I'm annoyed by stupid people.
I also get mad because stupid people advance more easily at work, even though they hardly do anything and they can't seem to make sense of the work that we are trying to do.
