In retrospect that's what I should have done but ultimately I know she was looking for positive affirmations that she's not dumb.

Even if I said
>I'm retarded so things take time
>>But you're smarter than me, so...?

She's just insecure. She's 19, I'm 24. I have also been at university for much longer than her. She's still adjusting to the shock of university where you regularly feel like everyone understands content except you which can be really hard on your mental health. She will eventually come around to understanding majority of people don't know what's going on but pretend they do.

I think it's also some insecurity in that my course will lead to substantially higher paying careers than hers (2-5 times as much). She wants reassurance that she is smart enough that she COULD do my course but chooses to fulfill her creative desires as a priority.

It's all just petty drama and will blow over in a day.
