Welcome Mohamed.

Don't feel out of place. You may just be suffering from Dunning-Kruger effect.

The smartest people for me are those who can drop all pretensions and learn as much as they can. You're well on your way.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is grossly overestimating one's own skill. I think that's the opposite of what you meant.

They probably meant Impostor syndrome[0] instead.
