Anybody else here a legitimate, verifiable, Good Will Hunting-esque genius?
On the one hand it's a blessing, but on the other it's an almost unbearable curse. All my life I've aced every test I've ever set. I've failed at practically nothing. Even in sports I excelled while other "academic" kids refused to even take part. I've just completed my BA in English Lit at the age of 19 and I'm about to start on my MA (fully-funded scholarship), but I don't know how long I can continue being a genius before I eventually burn out or break down. My professors all tell me that I stand out and that's it's obvious that I'm destined for great things. Heck, one of them has said outright that he wishes he had possessed my intelligence and work-rate when he was my age. Whether it's math or science or literature I just excel in everything I do without even considering that there was an option that I could not. Just last semester I solved a theorem that people had been working on for the past two decades (I won't say which one because my name is now indelibly linked with said theorem) and that was a for a class I wasn't even supposed to have attended. Psychiatrists have said that people in my very small demographic of highly intellectual individuals usually suffer from aspergers or some related disorder which deprives them of a healthy social life, but I have surprised each one in turn when I inform them that in fact I am an incredibly sociable and well-liked individual (despite also being a mysterious hermit-like recluse) and that every girl I have either dated or simply penetrated a bunch of times has described me as the kind of guy they could really see themselves with long-term.
Are there any novels about this kind of phenomena?
/lit/ has honestly given me the best pastas of any board

I don't know how you feel because as an Autodidact, I am unable to feel empathy for brainlets like yourself.

Nice reference.
Matt Damon in the movie Good Will Hunting is peak white male aesthetic in my opinion. There's no surpassing that.

There was a kid at my uni who finished his masters in English at 22. He was, I kid you not, a full blown downie. He pulled his pants all the way down to pee in the urinal and called one of the professors "mr 'spenders" because of his suspenders.
This is your competition, genius. You might not even win.
