How to beat mediocrity?

I'm continuously learning and upskilling myself but still there are lots of things which make me question myself am I a mediocre? Be it conversations with intelligent people or someone in the same stacks I'm working in or with some random girl with good communication skills whom I met on a dating app.

First you stop self doubting and questioning. As you have mentioned you are learning and upskilling it is a big great sign in itself that you are growing. Being a medicore, slower and failure doesn't matter.only end results matters. Think wisely Appreciate your everything and celebrate your each steps . Be thankful for everything in life grow ahead
You are building great future for yourself. Learn, unlearn,fail and grow are the process. Don't be harsh on your mental health and never compare yourself. Comparison/battle should be with yesterday self and today self. Be happy
God bless you!
