Why go on CC if it is "bad" for us?

<p>I’m wondering…in another thread, some people said that CC made them feel inferior, yet they continued to go on it. </p>

<p>It seems like an addiction. I know I have felt inferior at times while on CC, yet I still habitually come here…and the information (some of it, at least) has become repetitive and not very useful. I mean, for every 1 good thread that helps, there seems to be 10 bad ones that I go to that don’t.</p>

<p>So, why do it? Why do you still keep coming? If you really wanted to leave because it doesn’t help you emotionally - why don’t you or ignore all of the chances threads or threads that you obviously know won’t help you (give you the straight facts on a college or advice you’re looking for)</p>

<p>Because a- when I started to feel inferior, I left. Then I came back about 2 months later, created this (first and only) account, and started posting like crazy. I got over the inferiority complex I temporarily gained.</p>

<p>And b- I come on here because I have nothing better to do, really. It’s addicting, and I don’t have a myspace/facebook to be addicted to.</p>

<p>I think my inferiority complex helps me. Maybe, emotionally, I feel like crap, but it makes me strive to do better things. I cannot wait to get back to school to join more EC’s and increase my GPA. All of the model students on CC made that drive all the more intense. So, although I may feel inferior to everyone around here, knowing that I have the ability to reach this level motivates me.</p>

<p>Haha you should. In fact, you should make a thread to find a girl. :wink: If you want, I’ll make one for you. I can be a matchmaker…my mommy says I can be anything I want to be. I just have to believeeee.</p>

<p>at times it has made me feel inferior to others
but in other cases, ive basically learned to not be so anal to comparing myself to others. so what if many people here have 4.0+ gpas? good for them.
but this site has been really informative</p>

<p>Why smoke crack?</p>

<p>we like feeling inferior?</p>

<p>I really don’t know.</p>

<p>it really helped me a lot with SATs and college admissions though.</p>

<p>I only come on here after my brain is numb from programming or math or w/e. So I just skim the posts looking for anything relevant that I can jump in to attack. Arguing is always fun :p.</p>

12

<p>CC helps me strive for my goal in a more vigorous tactic.
Also updates me on school things.</p>

13

<p>CC is def. helpful…only except the What are my chances section! *LOL!!!
anyway, I love it here no matter how inferior I feel! :D</p>

<p>There’s a chance this thread* might *be stickied!</p>

14

<p>I repetitively go on, helps with my motivation to do better, and implies alot of info about the SAT’s, etc.</p>

15

<p>It motivates me. And it helped me tell my parents what this process takes.</p>

<p>Plus I just like posting on here :D</p>

16

<p>yeah, even though it does make me feel inferior sometimes. I have access to so much more info on CC that I would not be able to get just from people at school.</p>
