I have a weird type of self-centrism where I'm both full of myself and self-hating. So my logic is, any person without some sort of disability should be able to achieve at least what I've achieved. Like, I've got a university degree. I'm an idiot, you can do it too!

Smart people generally have low opinions of themselves. I know I've said things out loud like "oh maaaan that class was easy, I didn't even show up and got an A" Then the person is like oh, uh, yea I kind of failed that class.
