I get what you mean. Yet it feels wrong to accomplish something in my slow, average way and actually be proud of it, when there are people out there doing better, faster who would find what I did easy and boring.

There are loads of ways I'd like to improve, I just expect to fail at them.
You are setting yourself up for failure just by comparing yourself to others. Comparing yourself to others, is a direct short cut to feeling bad about yourself. Faster is not better. Go as slow as you like and you will have success. Going by how I see you write, you are not stupid. I sense you got much going for you.
