Index funds vs stock picking


I am relatively new to stocks (just 1 year of stocks investing) and I don't really understand why most people (and some websites too) recommend index funds instead or picking stocks individually. I mean if I pick stocks based on my knowledge of the companies or expected growth, I can manually diversify my portfolio and assess risks correctly. So why Index funds are better?
