Do I suck or are people in bronze/silver insane?

So sorry if I come off as bitching or complaining here but I'm genuinely curious. I just started.playing Valorant and I'm level 24. Started.playing ranked and got placed Bronze 1. Made my way up to Bronze 3 with a lot of back and forth. Some games I do really well, some games I get destroyed.

One thing that happens that gets me really tilted, is people peeking me and shooting me with inhuman reaction times. I will see them turn the corner and almost immediately, before I even react to visually seeing them, get 1 tap headshot.

I've played a good bit of CSGO so I know basic game concepts. I'm not giving my position away with sound. I'm not repeatedly holding the same angles. In some cases I'll intentionally hold the same angle 3 times, and the 4th time play a wierd off angle to see if it catches the enemy off guard, and most of the time they'll still turn the corner and shoot me before I can even react. It just seems impossible. I just wonder if there's some ping/connectivity issue where they're seeing me way before I'm seeing them?

Then again maybe I just suck. I'm by no means a good player but when someone runs full speed around a corner and 1 taps me without stopping, and before I can even react, it seems almost unrealistic. Like I legit don't think a human can react that quickly to anything. Especially not someone in Bronze/Silver. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
