A book that upon hearing what it is about your first thought would be "I need to read this". Could be any genre.

I genuinely detest them. From the way they converse, using these complex words, to the unachievable successes they've accumulated in their life. I despise all of it. To think that they haven't earned a fraction of their intelligence when they're bombarded with acknowledgement and praise makes me nauseous. It is unforgivingly unfair. I tried countless times to strive intellectually, but I always just find myself frustrated and mentally drained. This always circles back to me fantasizing about the fact that if I had the necessary genetics it could've all been fixed. It is off putting and incredibly irritating to work hard on something, achieve average results, and then you see someone that excels above you effortlessly. Why should the enjoyment of interests be dictated the fact that mentally incompetent? Even the mundane confusion that I encounter within a word or concept in a book becomes so enraging to the point I find myself wondering why these so-called gifted people have it so easy. I'm baffled by how little people talk about disparity between the average and the gifted. Someone could pour everything they have to achieve an academic goal, fail to do so, and be granted the torturous view of watching your peers achieve these goals and surpass them without much effort. I wish I would've been born with just a tinge of what they have. All I want is to just be able to understand what I'm interested in without this unnecessary frustration.

I know this will not be very pleasing to read for most of you, especially in this sub Reddit. But, this is how I feel and I cannot control it.

Pretty cool people in here but they keep talking about "normal" people not being able to understand them or something so I was wondering how that works
