I am good at learning something and memorizing it for a paper. It's easy for me, i dont need to put a lot effort in it. And I can memorize the things for a few days to weeks.

But there are other people who can remember facts and things like that for a very long time, but I m much smarter than them. But I always feel so stupid because when we have conversations, they always say things they know in a condescending way.

Why is it that way?
