I am a young man, 25, in college, majoring in biology and feel like an idiot around everyone. Every day it seems I hear someone not nearly as educated as I am, and even in completly unrelated fields, that know more about my subject than I do.

An example, my sister's boyfriend is in college as well, majoring in computer science. While visiting a conversation lead to a small biology topic. He started giving a speech on this topic and I had absolutely no clue what he was talking about! I even researched what he spoke about by myself later and found it to be true.

Again, he's a computer science major and he gave a factual speech to me about biology, MY MAJOR, and I knew absolutely nothing he was talking about!

This is just one instance and example. Things like this seem to happen all the time.

I already have crazy social anxiety but being shown how stupid I am makes it worse.

Why am I so stupid?...
