Blows to the ego...

as long as you compare yourself to others you will be disappointed. this can be a hard lesson to learn. shit im still working on this.

I can't help but feel this is my fault. I'm sorry I am so amazing bro

Many of you, like me, may think very highly of yourselves.
have you ever had an experience that makes you think that maybe you aren't the best?
I've been going through that all week.
I'm not the smartest, not the prettiest, not the best dressed, not the most charming...
Always in my life I have been at least one of these things.
But now I am competing against some very talented, smart, well dressed, pretty people.
It all kind of makes me feel very un-special.
I'm starting to lose a sense of what makes me unique and awesome.
Any advice?

Get older and you won't care.

Is that why the elderly have wicked amounts of ear and nose hair? Because they just don't care enough to trim it? And I'm guessing they don't trim their pubes either

stefka, as long as you compare yourself to others you will be disappointed. this can be a hard lesson to learn. shit im still working on this. when you make comparisons someone has to lose! even if you pronounce yourself the "winner" most pretty, best dressed etc... you still lose because you are reinforcing dichotomous beliefs and setting yourself up for a fall in the future. more and more i am learning to suspend judgments and look at things like " just is." we all have our little "judge" measuring ourselves against our fellows. tell him\her to go fuck off.

Yep your comparing your insides with their outsides.......Not a good thing to do

Perception is reality. YOUR PERCEPTION is what will determine YOUR REALITY.

Remember that.

Maybe you're right.
But I'm surrounded by the top 10%.
It kind of sucks to feel like you're at the bottom of any group.
I'm just here to learn and write and explore - why does it have to make me feel like such shit at times?

it's hard to do, but don't compare yourself.
Everyone has flaws- you just can't always see them. I bet if you get close to them, you'll discover you intimidate some of them too, in ways you hadn't thought of.

Being in law school alone puts you in the top 10% of intelligent people around, most likely. The fact that you are also beautiful makes you that much more rare. People would kill to be like you. Seriously.

being in law school DOES NOT put you the top 10% of intelligent people around. that is completely ridiculous to say. i could introduce you to 3 shady, shifty, scum bag lawyers i know who are dumb as shit. just because you have book smarts and can graduate law school doesnt mean you are intelligent. hell i got into law school and the people who i knew who got in with me were morons.

make law review at a top 50 law school, then id say you are tops in thelaw field for your school and year. but just to get in and graduate means shit. look at how many unemployed, ambulance chasing lawyers there are out there.
