i seriously don't think that it's what they are doing! it really might help if you told us why you think that you are dumb. What makes people dumb or smart in your opinion? i don't think we can possibly answer your question until we know "what kind of" smart is lacking in you, in your opinion. Do you think you lack logic? knowledge? what is it?
knowledge and the ability to grasp certian concepts that are beyond my comprehension.

What concepts? Everyone has trouble understanding some things & especially if they are not taught in a way that suits them.

Your seeming lack of "intelligence" has nothing to do with your IQ or your inability to understand calculus or rocket science, you just don't seem to have enough life experience to be as insightful as you could've been.
My advice would be to go outside more often. Ride a roller coaster, watch the sun rise, drink something from Starbucks without knowing what's in it, meet people, and see the world. You should also read a lot of books, but don't do it in an attempt to be smarter but because you actually enjoy it.
I also think when you can take what you do seriously without taking yourself seriously, that's when you can consider yourself pretty smart.

That's what I get at work a lot. That I am of average intellect. I am also average looking. Everything about me is average....everything even you know....
Well, this is not the adult forum
Only stats that are:
-body type. I am slightly above average in terms of build
-Job. I have a job that would be considered a 3/10 on a scale of 1-10

He's right though, it's best to generally experience things rather than be sheltered in some ivory tower.

Well, you did spell your own nick wrong... But jokes aside; Intelligence is overrated. No matter the level of intelligence, you aren't any closer to (or further away from) experiencing happiness.
When that has been said, there is no way any of us could rate anybody's level of intelligence accurately anyway. Even when our communication solely consists of airing our innermost thoughts and feelings.
A topic which I find is a little more interesting to discuss (because it is at all possible to reach any sort of conclusion), is our respective individual level and type of experience and perspective.
Only inexperienced people want to compare intelligence.
