How can you tell if you are either: >intelligent but so insecure

Most likely you are

>average but delusional enough so that you believe you do not fit the norm.

If you think you're smart, you're an idiot

If you think you aren't smart, you're probably right

No one who is smart thinks they are smart. Too many competing ideas. This means you're smart. You will use drugs to cope at first, once you realize being smart pays off.. You will stop. Holy shit, fuck being a retard.

Probably this.
>>36605991
There's some pretty arrogant people that are certainly smart.

Take tests.
School stuff or just general quizzes about stuff.
Score really well.

Then be demeaned and berated for not being the perfect human being, because aside from the thousands of outstanding things you do, for fucking up one thing that's seemingly benign.

And then when your feeling bad, it starts to fucking snowball and one mistake becomes two, and so on.

And as the abuse continues you steadily lose confidence to the point were you don't even feel human anymore.

Now you're afraid to do anything because you are an incompetent idiot who will never succeed and remain as a disappointment until you become a NEET and seclude yourself from the world and suicide seems like the only escape to the constant oppressive feeling of failure you have.

Or you know something like that.
