Oh man I've got a couple words for ya.
A person can be smart, but people are fucking stupid.
Please don't you ever equate yourself to what more than one person thinks.
You've thought about you more and your opinion is the most valuable when it comes to you. Be yourself at all times. Maybe you'll do it enough and people will admire it. Maybe you have, just always forget about what others think, it has so much to do with you and so little to do with them.
You can't share yourself if you've already molded it to be everyone else.
Edit: I really hope you don't read this as malicious or corrective, more of just a please don't forget about you. It's so easy to compare yourself to others or where you think others should place you, but they can never ever have your perspective. Just be your best you, and at least one person will love that and feel proud of it. That person will be you.
