Hey guys, wondering if anyone with an IQ similar to mine has been successful like me

I'm 22, graduated highschool with a 2.8 GPA and an ACT score of 16-18ishin the USA ( I never tried/studied ). Then got a 62.5 on the asvab without studying ( highest score was 79 on electrical, lowest was 55 in mechanical, Admin 58, and general 68 )

I enlisted into the air force for cybersecurity, and got out joining a fortune 50 company making almost 160k a year.

My IQ (according to the cait when I took it) was only a 98 fsiq and 100 GAI

I'm even in the top 4.8% of all players ( in terms of skill ) in one of the most difficult competitive games ( Rocket League)

I guess what I'm getting at is I never felt limited despite being slow.

Anyone else have a cool similar story?

Not saying I'm suicidal, earlier this my morning I seen a car parked across my apartment, looked suspicious, and they drove across to the other side of the building and parked again, then got out of the vehicle, and walked into the walkway of another apartment building, I drove by and they were not inside their vehicle anymore, meaning it must be the guy I seen walking.

Then I left my apartment, and 5 minutes later I came back, the car was gone, so it feels like someone's wanting me to think they live in that apartment even though they don't so they can keep watching me. I think they're plotting something against me and I have no control over the situation.

Does anyone else get these feelings?

I'm 22 and make about the equivalent 158k gross, after taxes.

I separated from the military in August of 2025, and got divorced from my wife in November of 2025.

My job is wonderful, the pay and benefits are great too. However, I'm quite a ways from my family and honestly I've turned into a person I never wanted to be. If I were to move back to where I want to go ( my home town ) I'd be essentially taking a 50% take-home pay cut, which is manageable because the cost of living is low.

Does anyone have any advice/anecdotes?

I don't count cards, is it time for me to walk away? I do enjoy the game, but, I understand the house wins long-term.
