What is wrong with me???

Question

I know it is weird, but I'm envious of my bf's grades... I think it is because before I was more concerned with school than he was but now he has started studying and caring and he gets very good grades, top of the class I would say. I know I should be happy for him, but 've noticed this strange feeling inside of me everytime I find out he has an A and I have a B... Can someone please tell me what is wrong with me? :(

Answer 1

Could it be you spend too much time worrying about stuff like this and not enough time actually studying?

Answer 2

Hmm....

Well it sounds like you already know your "problem," if you want to call it that.
However I think that you are more than capable of getting those same good grades (A's) if you would spend less time obsessing over his academic success, and spend more time focusing on yours again :)
You are smart, don't kid yourself...all you need to do is probably get your priorities straight and just revert to what you were doing before with your homework and whatever, and your grades should sky rocket in no time.

*All you have to do is figure out what is more important to you when it comes down to school, boys, friends, etc. once you can square that away....you're in the clear and things will start to look up for you.*
But being slightly obsessed over someone else's grades, isn't going to make your grades better. Only you can do that, so get back to those good old habits you had before...and you'll be fine.


*Good luck...and there is nothing wrong with you.

~Have a Merry Christmas.~

Answer 3

Be happy for the guy! Geeze it's not all about you! Study together and root for each others successes as much as your own! What's wrong with you is that you are being selfish and a bad sport.

Answer 4

grades are so unimportant in life. All through childhood you're pounded into believing grades are important because they get you into a good college.
When you are an adult they usually pound into crap about keeping good credit, and paying taxes.

....consider that you and your boyfriend are a team... you're both getting good grades for eachother. You don't have to compete with him... he's your bf.

Answer 5

You used to have a talent that he didn't seem to. It is normal to be upset or jealous that something that you thought set you apart was within his grasp all along. Now, look at it as having something you have in common, and study together.

Answer 6

There's never too late to learn something new. Even if you're not studying at school or university evermore. You can take any courses to learn and you will know about something more than he. :) You even will become more interesting for him, because you will know what he don't.

Answer 7

Jealousy is totally normal.

As long as it isn't getting in the way of your relationship, there is nothing to worry about.

Answer 8

study harder
