me and my other texan Management Information Systems bestie make a game of going together as a one-two punch and try to work that southern charm on those unsuspecting northerners

I have been burnt out on them for so long. I had friends in middle school who like. Resented me because I got better grades than them without trying. And this was the other straight-A students one of the two ended up going to an Ivy. This was high praise. But also it meant my friends resented me

Oh I get that so much, its why I found friends who cared for me no matter what, and I stuck by them till the end. I still am friends with the same 4 people now for over a decade.

I have always hated the whole zero sum gain mentality, its so destructive and sick
And itās not likeā¦ itās not like my skill scales. Iām not particularly good at studying for classes. Iām not good at turning my time into increases in grades. I have good intuition, not good dedication or whatever. I have a standard level of academic skill and trying to get anything past that is a massive upward slope.

So itās just like. Yes I can get 5s on AP exams I didnāt study for. But once Iām past like. What I can do at a base level. Once I get to anything thatās remotely unintuitive for me. Itās very difficult to do any better than that

I get that yea, I have really good intuition and im good at working myself to the bone, but my memory is really really bad, so like if I want to study for an exam, I can at most do so 24h before the exam or I forget

My memory is bad, I have very little energy to do stuff past the base requirements, and I have wild amounts of ADHD that mean Ijust straight up do not do anything I am not strictly required to

I can learn stuff, and then I know subconsciously, but like I end up knowing the answers to questions but I couldnt tell you how I got the answer. its like I was possessed when I did the exam
God that must suck, is it like you feel the need to do a ton of stuff at once, and you end up doing nothing?

Iām specifically good at looking at a problem on an exam I donāt know how to do, and then by any means necessary squeezing the maximum number of points out of that problem

It feels a lot like that, but happens even if thereās only one thing to do. You know when you put off a task for a while and you slowly start to go āoh itās difficult, itās so much effort to do, I canāt just start it nowā and you like talk it up in your head & never do the thing because it feels insurmountable. And then eventually when you finally force yourself to do it itās like, easy

Oh I see, idk I hate only doing one thing at a time, I feel like im wasting away when I do that. Its why I end up usually doing 3-4 things at once at any given moment
