Idk how I’m gonna write this without seeming arrogant but here goes
So like in lessons and all that I’m the guy that ppl would say is the best in the class but I just feel so pressured all the time.
Whenever we get a test it’s like I’m not allowed to have an off day cause ppl r there waiting to laugh if I fail. Honestly I just feel kinda tired with everyone saying I’m like the standard or what they want to be like cause I don’t think I would wish my lifestyle on anybody.
I don’t remember the last time I was genuinely happy with every aspect of my life and it’s like I never get time to make the mistakes that others do or time to learn without being ridiculed
Idk I might be waffling and Srry if I came across as entitled or something but does anyone else feel this way?

I felt like that too throughout secondary school and sixth form. It didn’t help that they ranked the top 10 people in the year group just a few months before GCSE exams either.

To an extent I do, yeah, I was top of the class in college, that was pretty apparent to my peers, so they were always acting like they were my best friend so I'd do their work for them, when I told them to **** off and do their own work? Well, let's just say it didn't ingratiate me with the rest of the group.

Why does it need to be relevant? There are no rules about it.

It’s a bit odd asking random questions like that.

OP - I was the smart kid in school, but I didn't feel pressure in large part because my parents removed it from the equation. That then became my default mindset and even now I tend not to feel 'pressure' in the way other people do. It is a mindset thing and you can train yourself out of it

It's really important to learn to fail well - plenty of situations will occur in your life when you do fail at something, and how you deal with that failure is a crucial part of your personal development. Do you play any sports or games?
