People with legit high IQs, what's it like to be very smart?

I feel like a dumbass all the time, because while I have a high IQ, I am very bad with my hands and mechanical tasks. I also get nervous easily which really inhibits me. If you saw me at any "easy" job, like working at a fast food restaurant or something, you would probably assume I'm a dumbass.

I probably have quite a high IQ, seeing as I get very high grades and study engineering at a world top ten uni.

what's it like? I understand most things easily and haven't come across anything that I feel I couldn't understand if I put enough time into it. When I'm solving problems the way to get the correct solution usually is quite easily apparent.I also pick up languages quickly and learning things by myself is quite easy too.

in day to day stuff, I'm a retard though, probably because I don't care enough to get good at it.

How quickly do you pick up new skills, esp. technical ones?

Are you good at programming?

yes
I started programming when I was 12 (making shitty flash games) and have kept it up since

I stutter all the time and my interests arent compatible with my current friend group, it causes a massive duality which psychologically unhealthy. Im pretty introverted but forced myself to be extroverted so i could fit in, now im trying to focus on just being myself around people and not hiding/dumbing down for the sake of others. It has its ups and downs, when you learn something it gets added to a cross interest web of knowledge and the only limits to learning is how much effort you want to put in. For me it really comes down to what interests me, which is virtually anything that stimulates me intellectually

Or i could just be autistic but who knows

did you get top grades in school/uni?

No i actually failed horribly due to nothing interesting me and i didnt get an atar (australian), did a trade and had a psychotic break due to it causing a complete existential crisis and dissociation from myself. I took a university entrance exam in which it assessed general comprehension (essays) and problem solving skills (iq test) and i scored in the top 0.9%. Id say im quite educated and school has nothing to do with it, still catching up in gaps of my schooling
