How does one deal with jealousy?
I met somebody today at college.
This person was passionate about things, science, well read, could talk to you about million things, knowledgeable, happy and, all around, more succesful and smarter than me.
In the meantime, I have concentration problems, reading a page takes me a long time, cant keep with a fixed schedule, struggle with discipline, cant properly look and talk to people, and often feel like I am getting nowhere.
I feel impotent, mad, being honest, I am pissed off, jealous at the fact I am not as bright as them, and dont know if I'll ever be.
One could just feel the superiority on that man, I could even say at times I felt like he was laughing at me.
This shit ruined my day, the thoughts of not being as great as I want to be, or greater than them destroy me.
How do I break out of this?

There will always be smarter/dumber/richer/poorer/etc people than you. You have to accept your current position in all aspects of life, and strive to improve on your weaknesses and nurture your strengths.
When someone is better than you in some way, you should feel inspired and motivated. Learn from them and use that information to better yourself.

But It doesnt feel right, being around these people makes me angry. I want to smash this persons skull. I know it sounds edgy in a MOMS GONNA FREAK way, but I just feel it, these fucking people make me feel horrible things in my stomach, I cant concentrate, I cant be around them.

This a thousand times over OP. There will always be people better than you at things. Learn from them, look at how they do things and use that to improve on your weakness and build on your strengths. Pretty much repeating what this anon said but you get the idea
