Whiny girl here

(Anonymous) 2012-10-28 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Just wanted to complain to somebody. I went to Maths Olympics recently and got not bad but an outright disastrous results. The fact that I'm a very successful student, love Maths and have been always considered smart by everybody doesn't exactly help. It can be really hard when everyone expects you to perform brilliantly... always. Everywhere. When everything you've got is your bloody brain, and your greatest fear is diseases which include intellectual degradation.

I've also never been particularly beautiful and I have the weirdest personality ever+I usually behave like a complete asshole, failing to realise it. That is, I think that I behave normally, and then BADABUM everybody is offended and weirded out.

So my brains is the only worthy part of me.

tldr: I have a hardest fit of overachiever syndrome.

Don't live like this. It's unhealthy.

Don't let this define you. No matter how good you are, there will always be someone better than you. It doesn't mean you're stupid. Your performance in Maths Olympics won't influence your whole life. I understand that it was disappointing for you, but you're more than Maths Olympics results, even if you don't see it right now.

Anon, you know already that this isn't healthy for you--that's a step in the right direction. The next thing you need to remember is that if you're too invested in being the answer-filled expert, the one who always comes pat with the right answer, you have a massive handicap in the STEM fields, where failing and being wrong is often more productive of understanding, and where the fear of failing will just lead you to a nice permanent rut.
