<p>It’s hard for me to accept the fact. There is a premed guy at my school who is so smart (getting 4.0 every semester while serving exec roles in many other extracurriculars) and so tall and good-looking that all the girls want to be his girlfriend. I also recently found out that he was a top student all throughout high school and he is now on full scholarship at university. He also has a great personality. I just can’t see any flaw in him. Someone like him is very rare; usually, extremely intelligent people aren’t that good looking or at least lack some good personality traits, and vice versa, to make things fair. But he is at the extreme end for both appearance and intelligence, and even personality. I’m at the middle for appearance, slightly above average for intelligence and below average for personality. We’re in some classes and clubs together and whenever I meet him, I feel an inferior complex towards him. I can confidently say that he is a perfect candidate for med school. I’m very certain he will get in the first time. He makes me think life is really unfair. I’m just so sad.</p>
<p>Be happy with who you are…Imagine the pressure that beautiful intelligent guy (no homo) must be under, constantly overexerting himself…Maybe, he’s dead on the inside.</p>
<p>
I would rather have all those traits and bear the pressure than to lack them AND still bear the pressure and be dead on the inside.</p>
<p>obsessing over him probably won’t help you much. sorry, some people are better-looking/richer/more talented than you.</p>

<p>lol whatever you say</p>
<p>Oh dear I think from time to time we all tend to feel this way towards someone. But just try to remember that we each have something unique to offer. Try to keep your head up and do YOUR best. It will always be appreciated! Best of luck!!</p>
<p>Just because someone is obviously “better” than you in one, several, or all ways does not mean you are not very good or excellent in one, several, or all ways. Do a good job of being you. You don’t have to beat the guy. You just have to be a credible human being with a degree of accomplishment to have a good life.</p>
<p>Life is unfair. You need to stop comparing yourself to him because it is eating at your soul and eroding your self confidence. Be happy for him, he sounds like a great guy.</p>
<p>You’re responsible only for you. Focus on what you can control. Align your actions and emotions with your principles (I highly doubt that you value envy). It’s worthless worrying about what this guy is or isn’t doing.</p>
<p>Envy him and derive motivation from it. Shape your personality and put a little more care into your looks. Study a lot and be better looking, more outgoing, and smarter than him.</p>
<p>Some very good advice in this thread. I think every school has someone like this. I know both my HS and UG did. The fact of the matter is that post-college, neither of them are doing that well. (I was friends with both.) Everyone has flaws, but really it’s not our job to compare ourselves to others. This “perfect” pre-med you know probably is a great guy, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t. Move on with life. Like HS, UG is only a passing phase and, frankly, there’s not a lot you can do besides play the hand you’ve been dealt. Best of luck!</p>
<p>If you become a doctor, well hey, that’s an accomplishment already.</p>
<p>Besides, with all those girls, he probably isn’t as focused as you. :)</p>
<p>I knew a girl like that in medical school. One night we were on call together. She had taken out her contacts, and had the thickest, most awful glasses.</p>
<p>I don’t know if you’re very religious or not…but God has a plan for everyone and if you just focus on the positives, have faith, and leave everything in His hands…then you’ll be perfect…</p>
<p>dnt dwell on the negatives or compare/compete against others…focus on your excellent traits and all will be well</p>
