Simultaneously feeling (and believing) that I am inferior *and* superior to others

I get this too. And I think it's not so far from reality tbh. I mean, I am not a shitty person, I'm not bullying anyone, don't judge people if they don't judge me, I try to be polite and quite emphatetic, most of these traits are completely absent in most people. I'm also quite smart, read up on lot of stuff (I have time cuz you know it's not like I party and talk with everyone all the time lol), like most people are really gullibe and dumb. My coworker just called a galaxy a planet. How the hell in today's world someone doesn't know what a galaxy is?

Then I am completely utter shit at social interactions, I feel I am inferior to people in this level, and sadly it's 99% what counts these days, if you are social and fun you get away with anything. Even if you are bad at your hobbies/work, there will be still people who like you and stand up for you, praise you and help you. I can't in the world get this or make long lasting friendships, or do dating. And a lot of negative traits I have. So it's very weird, but I mostly still feel inferior. Also I don't have self condifence, but I've been working on it lately, otherwise I wouldn't even think of the first paragraph.
