I’m inferior to everyone, no matter level.

No. There’s more to Japanese than knowing kanji. My kanji skills on a website may be ‘better’ or ‘higher level’ than someone else’s on the same website, but that doesn’t equate into real life use. I might take much longer to recognise kanji in the wild than a lower level user. My speech may be much better than theirs.
I respect high level users due to the dedication and time they’ve taken - I don’t think they’re better than me for the same reason as above.

It probably doesn’t mean much coming from me, but absolutely not. I tried using this site in the past and actually ended up stopping because there was no way to advance faster. I had to spend a long time on things I already knew, and I didn’t really want to waste my time doing that. I’m trying it again because I really do enjoy this site, but really, a person’s level doesn’t say anything about them or their knowledge of Japanese. You don’t know what they do outside of this site’s slow pace, or what they’ve studied before coming here.

I don’t know why you would feel that way. I mean weren’t you level three at some point. Maybe I am misunderstanding your point. Are you saying we don’t know what we have gotten ourselves into??? Of course I didn’t know anything about kanji; that’s why I am here. Anyway, I didn’t think people were judging me based on my level. You have to start somewhere don’t you. :thinking

Do you feel like people who are a lower level than you are inferior?
By definition, yes I do. Merriam Webster defines inferior as “situated lower down”.

Im even at whole new level of underestimating
Not even lower level, whenever I see someone without profile picture, I assume they are newbie
Yet, as far as I know, Im the most without knowledge of you all.
