I'm in a highly technical STEM field, and sometimes I find myself feeling insecure about my intelligence as comparative to some of my math-wiz colleagues.

But then I see shit like this lol

Thanks for making me feel better about myself OP!

    One mistake smart people do is connecting their intelligence to their value as humans. Like you did above, when you said you were feeling insecure.

    Perhaps you get more respect from your peers by being intelligent but your value as a person is not in how good you can solve technical problems. :)

    I mean sure, maybe to the organizations that hire you, you are that value... But thats just your value to the corporation.
