Is it normal to feel like my intelligence level doesn't match up with my age?

Although this might sound like I'm boasting, honestly, I'm very concerned if this is normal behavior for someone like me. I happen to be 13 years young and a lot of people, when first meeting me, assume I'm much older. I feel as if I'm smarter than the normal 13 year old male. My school performance is average, usually A's, B's and a couple of C's here and there. Also, the other students don't seem to fit in with me at all. Or at least, I don't fit in with them. To me, they seem like morons. But to them, I seem like a normal kid. Even though I feel like I'm not. Is this normal? Or am I just talking complete nonsense?

    meh

    what youll find is that your "attitude" will hold you back

    people are just people

    some people have blind spots - in your case its kind of a freaky superiority thing

    in fact I might suggest it is actually a defence mechanism youve created for any of a variety of reasons - youll need to engage in some HONEST introspection

    the correct way forward is to simply do your thing rather than seeking to delegitimise others

    work hard, constantly seek to improve in every area of your life including your capacity for human interaction

    everything falls into place
