I feel bad for studying Riemannian geometry and feeling like I can understand and imagine the concepts nicely and solve a few problems, I feel like a fraud, does anyone relates? How to cope

Can I like solve an open problem and everyone will be angry with me and deny my success or is it not how academics respond to this?

study something actually difficult like algebraic geometry

It's like saying I studied basic algebra but couldn't solve Fermat's theorem, there are always unsolved problems in any area of math.
Regarding algebraic topology I'm not sure but can it be applicable conveniently in algebraic geometry, say Hodge theory since it involves cohomology
