How do I act dumb at work?
I have tried developing strategies, brainstorming solutions, worried to core leading to breakdowns While collegeaues from IIT/IIM earning double, don't know basic shit I have understood there's no point putting that extra effort. How do I act dumb on purpose? I'm not someone who can stretch work, result and speed are inherent and this is why need advice here. P.S. company is citing funding winter for no appraisals this year So another reason

My attitude was very similar to you, albeit I am from IIT/IIM. The key is to realise that working hard and taking stress are two different things. You can work hard while not taking stress.
Also it your lack of confidence that is causing the stress.
Be confident and work hard. Care less about what others are doing/not doing. Don't consider yourself to be above/below someone.

Yeah you can call it that. I realised that I was a bit inefficient and under confident, also rarely was I able to say no. Due to these I slowly started to develop a negative outlook towards my colleagues.
It's tough to accept your faults and improve upon them. Blaming others is far easier.

If u want to do it in ur current company between same folks who’ve seen your work… you can’t “bluff”. They’ll spot that you’re purposely doing it. You can do it for something new or just slack off more, be slow to respond, etc. I would advice against working hard unless what you do is very visible.

WFH band kar diya, they will not believe work can be done until they see everyone's faces in office
Do your best and leave the rest. Who knows when we can reap benefits since we can't change our habit/quality just for anything/anytime?

Do only what is explicitly assigned to you. Forget about the rest, and keep your office phone & Slack completely off during off-hours.
My friend no one can give you stress. Only you can take. Your locus of control is you. Internalise this you will find peace at work.
Rather than taking that path which can get you fired, try changing the companies by interviewing.

Start repeating the keywords that the "leaders" in your organisation vomit

Tell manager you have personal issues like family problem and then bring down the work you do
