I hate over achievers, like people that complain about getting A-’s and 92%, instead of there A+, I hate how some people are so focused on school, that they forget they’re human beings who deserve to have friends, who deserve to relax once a in a while, it makes me mad that I see people getting upset about not being able to go to the ivy league college they want, You know being happy is really all you need
People have high expectations of themselves and it doesn’t have to do with them not having friends or anything. Over-achievers have friends and there’s a difference between being around someone who knows they can do better and works for it, and someone who just complains and whines about it. But I applaud all over-achievers for knowing their goals. They just have to know their limit and when to relax and enjoy life. You can’t exactly get mad at people for wanting an A+. Just because you’re over there failing doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate our A’s. Telling someone to not be sad because there are people who have it worst is like telling someone to not be happy because there are people who have it better. Each person has their own talent and I personally respect over-achievers more than stoners.
the problem here is all the claims being made by both of you guys. not all over-achievers whine about getting an A- instead of an A+ (in fact, most i know are relieved to be receiving an A- because they know they performed lower than an A+). a lot of overachievers i know have friends. and personally, if i worked so hard (mind you i’m hypothetically speaking as an over-achiver) i would be upset if i didn’t get into an ivy league college - especially if it were my choice school.
@xoxoanh, i don’t know OP personally, so i don’t know if they’re posting this post in regards to their own disappointment of failing a class… but still i don’t even see where they made the claim that overachievers can’t celebrate their A’s. and personally i didn’t like the comment about stoners. i don’t get how that relates at all and i personally found it offensive.
edit: but oh God i had the hardest time comprehending OP
