"I just don't have it together like you do. "
i saw the sentence "I just don't have it together like you do. " on a american tv series "Baby Daddy"
and the subtitle translate it as "I'm not that as excellent as you." because the man is making an apologize to a lady.
so i was wondering if the sentence "have it together like you do" has that kind of meaning.
sorry if i didn't make my point clear enough

Answer

hey there, together is an adverb and an adjective, when used as an adjective, it means you are confident and sensible about what you are doing. So yes, it can mean excellent in this case, but I didnt watch the show, so it could also be that he is being sarcastic.
