Yeah I plateaued in my early teens. I know I'm intelligent and have a curious mind that means I read a lot, self educate etc. But I'm no smarter than my peers ever were. I was just 'advanced' as a kid. Meant I didn't take schooling seriously and formed arrogance about my abilities, well before realising that they're pretty mediocre in most things. Jack of All trades, master of none. Hold myself to ridiculous standards that I'll never meet.
