| People are going to chide you, and, in a way, you should be chided, because I think you've lost a bit of what high school is about. It's about developing relationships and memories that will last you your entire life. That aspect of high school should not be given up simply for a numbers race.
That being said, I can understand completely where you're coming from, and know that you are not alone in this sort of mindset. Whenever you get that sort of feeling, take a step back from whatever you're doing and breathe. Remember that high school is simply four years of your life. When you recall high school, do you want to remember that you lost a few friends or didn't make a couple of friends because of your obsession with numbers?
