Sometimes, you're surrounded by smart people and you just soak it up. Sometimes, you're surrounded by smart people and you're paralyzed by/with a despair that you'll simply never be that good/smart/talented/opportunistic/lucky. Sometimes, you're surrounded by smart people and you're just awestruck at their competence.
Sometimes, you're all three.
I hate being smart enough to know how good I'll never be.
