| I don't think there's such as thing as "overachieving," really. Achievement is good; rubbing it in people's faces is bad, but has nothing to do with the achievement itself. Achieving is really only "over" achieving when it takes over someone's life and creates health/ psychological problems, or when people sacrifice tons to reach an unattainable goal... but really, most of the time the term "overachiever" is just coined by other people who can't fathom achieving the same thing. It's sort of a justification-- I'm jealous, but they're "over" achieving anyway. It's not like I need to be like that.
Which is a good opinion to have, but you wouldn't need to talk about it if you didn't feel inadequate about their achievement in the first place, lol.
Edit: "You," is the general you. Not directed to anyone. |
