I breezed through high school, everything was easy, never studied, was never really able to just sit and focus on stuff.

Get to college, calc is hard. Physics is hard. Electronics is hard. I have zero skills from never studying; I have no foundation to learn. Didn't make it in college. Still really good at mental math though! Still can't sit and focus on tasks for long.

Hitting that wall is pretty common. You learn the wrong habits as you breeze through and get good grades without effort, then encounter the first subjects that require non-trivial effort. And then maybe you take some bad grades until you eventually learn, or you drop out and never figure out how to work through more difficult learning.

Some smart people might not hit that wall until pretty late (I know people who first encountered it in grad school), but regardless of when they encounter it, whether and how they get over that hump can determine what the rest of that academic path looks like for them.

Lol getting to grad school or a PhD without studying sounds like 90%ing a game or getting stuck at the final boss

Getting that far on the highest difficulty level is already impressive IMO
