Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like the biggest idiot and everyone seems to be laughing at

Question

you? I felt that way today and I am in college. I have so much relational stress and a huge fear that I'm not good enough or smart enough to accomplish my goals. Do you ever feel that way?

Answer 1

Yes, quite often, and I'm working on my Ph.D. My strategy is to laugh at myself and try not to take myself too seriously. Also, realize that you may not be the smartest person in every area, but I'm willing to bet you've got something that most of the people around you don't. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. Try to figure out what they are, then mitigate the weaknesses as much as you can, and give yourself room to shine in your strong areas. In academics, it's kind of like the saying "you can never be too rich or too thin." In school, it's "you can never be too smart," or rather, smart enough. But let me tell you - if you have an average IQ and high motivation, you can do it. It takes discipline, organization, and determination, and if you have those things, I'm not worried about you. If you have a learning disability or adhd, don't be shy about getting help. It will make your life easier, and you will be shocked at how much you will accomplish.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Yes, and believe me you may have feelings that are not at all true. This could be leading to something more, go to Student Health and ask to speak to someone. You are probably a perfectionist and maybe having a high stress level. Classes and situations are so different from high school, but by talking to someone they can show that it happens to most GL
