I am someone who loves a bit of competition...Healthy Competition that is. I generally do really well in school, especially in English, Maths, Science, Humanities and French. No i think that competition can be a great hing as i often pushes you to exceed what you would normally think yourself capable of. However i get mega pissed when hat competition starts to be tinged with bitchiness and (i don' wanna sound up myself) but with a bit of jealousy and envy too. Mostly i am in a very supportive environment, my friends are pleased when i do well and i encourage them when he do well too. Lately though i have been hearing some comments that have really offended me like, "Geez I'm sooooo happy i bet Bella today. God she annoys me so much how she gets good results. im soo happy haha what a bitch!".(or along those lines i have heard a few lately so they become slightly blurred in my mind). No to me that's is sad because i have when people compare themselves to me A: because i think it is silly as everyone had different talents and faults and B: i sometimes feel a little embarrassed and insecure about it. Now when i hear these things I sometimes feel flattered because obviously i am good enough to compete with and a challenge to beat but it is just so petty! ARRRRRR it frustrates me because it is some friends saying it too!Now i have discussed it with some of my mates and they agree that it is stupid too so i dont understand why some people bother. i don't want to confront people however because i dont want to make a huge fuss, that's not who i am. i just wish they had never said it in the first place. I am so MAD! i just don't know what to do???

Not much you can do about it Bella, people will think what they will. It doesn't just happen in your teens, you'll notice it as you get older too. Some people just don't grow up.
ReplyDeleteBest thing you can do is ignore it if you can, I think a lot of it does come from jealousy.

Hey Bee, here are some more suggestions for crazy stuff to do:
ReplyDelete-page yourself over the PA system. Don't disguise your voice.
-every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
-skip down the hall rather than walk and see how many looks you get.
-order a diet water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.
-specify that your drive-through order is 'to go'.
-sing along at the opera.
-five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you have a headache.
-when the money comes out of the ATM, scream 'I won! I won!'
-when you leave the zoo start running towards the parking lot, yelling "Run for your lives! They're loose!"
=)
