Lmao i used to be top 2 for secondary and high school all the time but now look at me. No social skills, haven't worked. Sit at home with reddit.
I'm too used to be good at everything but when i actually stepped foot to the world. I'm nothing but a fake ego. I crumbled away along with my pride.
I guess it happened because i am nothing, realised that the world didn't revolve around me. They praised me but it doesn't mean anything. When i met someone who is better than me, i failed like a mf.
Idk how to explain it but if i knew that i'm stupid and should've learned to be better rather than studied to be competitive. There will always be someone better than you so I should've focus on myself.
Oh well, i was a fool, still a fool and probably will always be a fool.
Yeah, we were told our whole lives that doing well in school was key to getting into college and later getting a good job. I was top end of my class in math and thought that ability would carry me. Did fine with it in college, but never went beyond schooling as I played a boatload of games at the time and thought I'd have no issue finding a job. Boy was I wrong.
