I think there’s also a thing of being a big fish in a small pond. Being in the top 2% for anything isn’t really that big of a deal in a large enough group. Even being in the top 0.2% isn’t “O woe is me, I can’t talk to anyone because nobody is on my level” if you go to a school with a couple of thousand people.

But a lot of them are just idiot young people who’ve been led to believe they’re smart because that’s how idiot older people have tried to motivate them, and they’re not even top 30%. Plus, young people often just believe they are super smart and understand everything: the madness is developmentally appropriate.
