Lol I can ace an IQ test but I can't function for more than 13 seconds without some kind of mental stimulus, preferably 3 or 4 simultaneous external inputs. TV + Lemmy + bunnies. PC game + phone game + podcast. Yeah I'm smart but God damn do I have attention problems like I never used to. Our entire society needs a phone detox but I'm only doing it if everyone else does too.

Also make sure you don't have something like ADHD, often what seems like something that's caused by external factors may in fact be due to internal ones. ADHD can also become more apparent to you, or affect you more, as you get older, at least it did for me.
