Having a high I.Q. does not guarantee success in life. Trust me on this one. It only means that you have more tools in your mental toolbox to work with. If you do not actively use those mental tools, they will become rusty with the passage of time. As you use them more in life, those mental tools become honed to a more precise edge.
As others have said, there is still time to change your path in life if you are not happy with it. One thing is that you need to set a series of gradual goals to get on that path. If you falter along the way, understand that can happen on the trip. Do not despair, you can still work on getting the path right, even if it takes a bit longer to do. Remember, the path you set for yourself is ultimately determined by you.
Bragging about having a high I.Q. to others often does not end well, especially in social situations. (I learned that lesson back in high school after my testing information was leaked to the entire school.) Others can get jealous from the differences and seek to cause you harm. It is better to hide that information from the general public when you can. If someone calls you "smart", just smile at them and let it go.
