From a young age you are taught to obey, to perform, to fit in and not bother anyone, because that is what they learned themselves. Education revolves around rules, results and appearance. No one shows you how to handle your emotions, how to set boundaries or how to think for yourself. Many adults avoid these topics because they think they complicate children or because they do not know how to deal with them. It is easier to teach maths than to teach how to spot toxic people, manage anxiety or say no.

Then you grow up and realise you lack the tools to live with some calm. It is not about intelligence, it is about emotional training. And you learn it the hard way. In the end you understand that everything they never taught you as a child is exactly what you needed the most to be at ease with yourself and your life.
