I think it is difficult for people who are considered "smart" to find what they want to do. In most cases, they're interested in a bit of everything.
you probably know a lot about a bunch of different things, but are too interested in everything to be able to pick one. This may be why you don't see yourself as not being really good at anything.
when I read this post a quote immediately came to mind.

"We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books . It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations."
Duuuuuuuuuuude, for one, you've got it spot on, im interested and fairly decent at a little bit of everything, and can't really decide what the hell to do. Secondly, I love this quote. I thank you immensely for putting it down here, and i am putting it on every web-based thing I own. :D
Is it normal to have a reasonably high IQ and yet feel stupid?

thank you.
I really like that quote because Einstein doesn't pretend to know everything.
He acknowledges his inability to grasp something so complex.
If he can do that, anyone should be able to.
