How do you cope with the fact that you will never discover or amount to anything and that everyone who said you were smart and had potential as a kid was lying to you?

I just stopped caring and learned to entertain myself with what little I have.
I’ve always saw that because I was smart with potential then I could waste it all and be fine, so I did, and that’s exactly what happened.
I’m thirty one now and have no prospects and will probably kill myself eventually out of boredom, in my like 50s or 60s because getting old doesn’t seem like fun.
I could say try harder but I don’t understand the sense of pride people get with accomplishments, like I kind of enjoyed doing good things but they never really added to much of my self-esteem.
Maybe become an astronaut so you can at least go to space.

you make opportunities happen they dont come to you. make the iron hot by striking. there are opportunities everywhere you just have to know what you're looking for.

Intelligence is only one part of amounting to something. If you and your parents make bad decisions for the first 20 years of your life you're never going to catch up to people who made good decisions regardless of how smart you are

I'll hold your hand when I say this... NETWORK NOW. Find people with similar research interests as you. As long as you have the required educational background, it's a mutual beneficial endeavor.

Community colleges are unironically one of the country's best resources

That sounds like "love bombing".
