I’m too competitive to like that

Because in middle school and high school the only way people interacted with me was imagining me as some kind of idea of Smart Person and that’s like uncomfortable and suboptimal and when somebody does that to me I begin imagining them as High School Or Middle School Classmate which is fine in strangers and acquaintances and is nice as an ego boost but I don’t like when somebody I’m supposed to be close with feels like they’re pressing buttons on a touch screen interface rather than like interacting with three dimensional person

And so me feeling somebody is Smarter Than Me completely rids the potential for that feeling.

fortunately my brother (who is also competitive and smart) is an English enjoyer and not a math one

My brother is. I almost called him non competitive. He’s like. He never admits he’s wrong, if you correct him then he always claims he actually knew XYZ already, and it’s a bit but like he genuinely thinks like that. But he’s not academically competitive in the same way I am I think

Your ODE are fake and gay class because it’s just intro diffeq. My ODE are I almost called them real and not gay but I did well enough on the last exam that they’re fake and gay. I fucked up the homework real bad last night though

I don’t know if she’s actually different or if it’s just the fact that she’s younger. But she does, like, not have the same… like people who meet her don’t think she’s a freak of nature. This may be more unautism than it is intelligence difference

And I don’t think she’s, like, as fixated on academics, like she had zero interest in taking college courses in high school. I don’t think she feels the same like deep satisfaction and happiness doing equations or whatever
