being average at everything is so fucking horrible

[iblamemoritz]

i just got into a new school, with smarter mfs
i thought i could kinda build up a reputation by being good at specific things, for example i was usually pretty good at sports. but then i pull up there and suddenly i'm still pretty good compared to others, but way more people who are better than me than it used to be. and lots of other things have the exact same thing. even at fucking videogames which i used to tryhard in at early teenage years have people who're at least as good as me.
and i'm not even smart to compensate, i barely got into this school, while others did it with ease

talentpill is brutal
iqpill is brutal

and nothing much i can do, since i've got shit to do besides sport, instruments and studying, while others learn it faster, better or only focus on one thing.
i was once the smart kid in elementary school effortless, now i belong to the dumb ones by filtering out the smart and dumb, and me always going to the smart option
i come home tired every single day, and have not any little energy to do work, and we don't even have had many exams. it is an endless cycle. i got sick and cannot even recover from it properly, while having to perform at my best physically at a competition soon.

i am very grateful tho for what i have and that i am able to go to such a school with good people there.
for any1 still reading this jfl, wish you a good day

Forget about talent and IQ, it's all about looks, status and money - how are you in these departments?

looks: idk, i guess mtn, i'm not getting bullied or anything because of it, but not a lot of girls approached me and i rejected
status: idk at all, i'm a pretty regular guy, i get respected, middle class, live in a pretty big house with a big garden
money: also average (again ), i'm looking for a job for the holidays to do, cause rn school doesn't let me do any side hussles rn

Well, average is not enough anymore these days, you should raise these stats.

Keep in mind that your competition isnt always the upper echelon people like your describing. If your in a higher standard school then that just means your good enough to fit in there in the first place. Just because of the change in environment it doesnt make you any worse>

I faced this reality in reality high school also. I started puberty very early and as such I was better than others my age at sports. I was the fastest, strongest, tallest, etc. As a result, I coasted putting in bare minimum effort to everything sports wise. But around ~15 was when things started to change. People had started developing something called discipline, they were working out daily, learning daily, bettering themselves daily, etc. Whilst I was still chilling. By 16, I was no longer in any of my school's teams. I didn't represent the school in athletics. Wasn't on the Rugby team. Just could no longer compete
