How do you categorize this? What do you think?

<p>Ok, so if someone is exceeding in something, but within the sense of knowing that they take drastic measures to do so, would you consider them try-hards with no life? I personally don't because an aspect to be considered is why such a practice was ensued in the first place. How would you classify this? Some say try hards have no life, while I say they do.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Try that again in English.</p>

<p>^ lol yeah, you don’t have to sound all smarticle all the time.</p>

<p>obv since I was the inspiration for this thread, I say tryhard = no life. Honestly why do you have to be the best if it’s not even necessary? Like if you’re #1 with no effort, that’s just how life turned out, but why do you have to waste hours on being the best? You don’t have to be the val to get into Harvard.</p>

<p>ScienceKid, no offense…but you seem like a try hard, based on your big SAT vocab and trying to sound smart/acting like you have to get 100s on everything.</p>

<p>

Depends on the person.</p>

<p>^ Agreed. Schools look at so many other factors other than GPA, and just because you’re val doesn’t mean you’ll change the world or you’re better than others. Just be the best you can be, as cliche as it is.</p>

<p>Try-hards who put in genuine effort to succeed for themselves, I respect. Try-hards who try solely for impressing others or gaining a status - I’m pretty sure everyone hates them.</p>

<p>Also, I’m pretty sure this is a forum. The point is to talk in a way that others will understand you. Big words don’t equal substance, and it serves no point if you can’t use them in the proper context.</p>

<p>Here we go again, I’m not trying to sound smart, you should tell that to the guy in my class who writes complex paragraphs to the Do now question. I’m not a try hard at all, so as far as I can see you’re just surmising everything. -_-</p>

<p>That’s just how I communicate. I don’t see any problem with it. Plus, it’s only because a majority if people tend to have no idea what they’re saying while being really vague. They can’t be so sure they’re right if their argument isn’t good enough. And I am using them in the right context. Don’t like the way I text then just ignore. Not a big deal.</p>

<p>Anyway, I agree. It depends on the person. Aye ye ye if perception weren’t the case :P</p>

<p>Words have meanings…you can’t just shove any word into any hole in any sentence and expect people to have any idea what the hell you’re talking about. </p>

<p>“Tryhard” has a negative connotation…you can try hard without being a tryhard.</p>

<p>Are you saying things in ancient Hebrews or some other language from outer space?</p>

<p>It’s not necessarily the vocab you’re using
but the way you structure sentences requires me to go back and forth back and forth, cause it isn’t one fluid thought and doesn’t read back well.</p>

<p>A big vocabulary is lovely if it remains user-friendly. I’ll admit that I’m still not getting exactly what you’re trying to say in that first post, and I’m an English person.</p>

<p>As for your question, I totally agree with catchinginfinity.</p>

<p>Ignoring all the negative individuals, I thank naegami for actually answering my question :slight_smile: I dont remember this thread being about my vocabulary. You all act as if I’m being negative in some way. Control yourselves. </p>

<p>Now in continuation, a try hard is what I see as negative. There should really be something else to replace try hard. Maybe they should just get rid of it. That would take a huge amount of effort :/</p>

<p>At least you guys already said it. Thanks.</p>

<p>Great community we have here. No wonder why I saw that thread that day… It explains a lot now.</p>

<p>@Naegami
I agree too. They should get rid of it. I don’t understand the meaning if try hard… Complicated @_@</p>

<p>We’re not really being negative (or at least, I’m not), nor am I saying you’re being negative. Simply said it was ironic you’re talking about other tryhards, or whatever you’d like to call them, because you come off as one yourself. </p>

<p>Your writing, for a lack of a better term, doesn’t flow very well, so I think maybe that’s what makes people think you’re using even higher vocab than you really are, because it’s not very easy to read. TheAtlantic hit it on the head.</p>

<p>But I digress.</p>

<p>

What does this even mean?</p>

<p>I guess my comment was a little unnessecary and may have came off a bit rude and I apologize if it did. But really, it’s a little difficult to understand what you’re trying to say…</p>

<p>@letmeseetheworl
It’s ok, im just upset that everyone couldn’t move on after that ONE small mistake… I dont understand. Otherwise, my other posts are fine. I’m not pretentious.</p>

<p>Theres no need to pluralize sentences if the MISTAKE was in my first post. Geez, are guys serious? One small mistake changes the whole topic of the thread. Thats incredibly pathetic. It’s one mistake, it happens, it isnt going to kill you, ok?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>ummm, naegami agreed with catchinginfinity, who actually answered my question? And I also answered?</p>

<p>You just want to hear what you want to hear.</p>

<p>Basically being a “tryhard” is doing more than what the teacher tells you to do.</p>

<p>No Yakisoba, if you actually saw when I put up that post, it was after my previous one. You aren’t included within that category.</p>
