I was often considered to be one of those people. To some I may still be one of those people.
I'm not perfect, but I try to be/do the best in all I do.
I'm not complete, I'm just strong in myself. (and lucky!)
It doesn't mean I'm not broken, because I'm so fragmented it would take centuries to put me back together. You would never know half the sh*t I've been through, but just because I have the brightest smile in the room and don't talk about it, doesn't mean I haven't been through it.

Don't compare yourself to the "happier"/more "perfect" people, because nobody is. Don't wish you were someone else, because we're not all we seem. The grass always looks greener on the other side. You may think I'm the perfect person, but to someone else (possibly even me) you might be the perfect person. :smile:

so poetic man

This guy in my year. Hot, perfect grades at more than one area of subjects, sings, plays instruments, top player in football and rugby mini leagues, from a well off and hugely supportive family, nice social life, equally 'perfect' girlfriend. Passed his driving test lately too :colonhash:

Most of the people who I know that fit this category secretely work away in their spare time and pretend not to work for fear of being labelled.

I don't know why people do this to be honest.
I'd rather be labelled as a 'hard worker' than a naturally gifted person. I do correct people actually when they say 'You don't have to try' or 'You're intelligent' or whatever. I say I just work hard.

I believe there's very little variance on average in natural intelligence, and the hard work is what gets people good grades. They should be proud of the hard work, not the grades, especially people who struggle with school.

he's not perfect though lol

hottest ever?

does he go beyond the syllabus at all or just take what's spoonfed to him?

does he sing well/play well/write his own stuff which is good?

why only mini leagues?

who cares about his family?

The way it looks is always different than the way it really is. For instance, I never share anything that would make me look bad in front of someone else, so everybody thinks that I don't have any problems or insecurities. Actually, people that look perfect on the outside are the most emotionally messed up ones.
