I think you should understand a few things:

1. Experience is temporary. It means either you or your coworkers can be better or worse someday. For the moment they look more experienced than you are. But it's not forever if you keep learning while they think they can relax.

2. Experience is not a solid proof of knowledge and skills. It's only one of the many reasons that lead to success. What are the others? What are the things that you can't do without experience?

3. Both making fun of other people and thinking people make fun of you is a waste of time for the real genius. They know what make them feel good is not from others.

4. Keep learning is always the right thing to do. Don't think it's intense or tiring. It's always this intense and tiring. If you don't know if it's worth it, just keep doing it and you'll find out. You can't say if climbing a mountain is worthy unless you yourself is on the top.
