<p>Ok, everytime i get together with my family, my uncles/aunts always discuss my accomplishments as well as those of my cousins, who are in the same grade as i am. I am like 6-7 months older than two of my cousins. So, my uncles/aunts attribute my better accomplishments to my being older. For example, I got the higher standardized test score because i was born earlier. That sounds hilarious but it ****es me off because they are using that as an excuse for their sons' lower scores. how would you respond to that?</p>
<p>2) There's a girl in my class that calls me dumb even though im book smart and a good standardized test taker (im not being cocky here. She admitted it) In fact, she tells me straight up that there's another kid in the class who's smarter than i, even though he has lower scores than i do. I understand that SAT's/ GPA don't determine intelligence but they should give a good guidance of the extent of that intelligence. My IQ score was even tested at the 99%. In real life, i do not brag these scores at all. Im actually pretty quiet when it comes to revealing test scores. The reason she thinks the other kid is smarter is that he talks more intelligently and studies less (he studies less because he has no hard classes at all. In fact, he took 0 AP's junior year). She tells everybody that im not smart at all and that other kid is smarter than me and it ****es me off. Usually, I just keep my mouth shut and don't brag about my accomplishments but sometimes she makes me feel pretty bad about myself for no reason. How do you respond to that?</p>
<p>Stop caring about what other people say. If you can’t do that, pretending to not care works almost as well.</p>
<p>i wouldn’t worry about it. they’re taking advantage of your humility. unless she’s like 8, she knows what she’s doing. your uncle is jealous because you’re smarter than his kids lol.</p>
<p>how do you stop caring about what other people say if they’re around you most of the time?
Well my uncles/aunts live out of state (thank god) but that girl in the 2nd scenario, obviously, goes to my school. She’s constantly seeing me and talking **** about me. How do you stop caring?</p>
<p>because she’s acting hella lame and it’s not really necessary to care.</p>
<p>
Lawl, what a terrible thing to say.</p>
<p>“How do you stop caring?” -> “If you can’t do that, pretending to not care works almost as well.”</p>
<p>“If you can’t do that, pretending to not care works almost as well.” </p>
<p>how do you PRETEND TO stop caring about what other people say if they’re around you most of the time?
Well my uncles/aunts live out of state (thank god) but that girl in the 2nd scenario, obviously, goes to my school. She’s constantly seeing me and talking **** about me.</p>
<p>In all honesty, do you guys agree with what my uncle and the girl in the 2nd scenario say though?</p>
<p>It’s ok i won’t be offended for truthful answers.</p>
<p>not at all…it would be mildly pathetic if anyone did</p>
<p>■■■■■ the hell out of her, buy an advanced college grammar book, incessantly correct her grammar and whatnot, use really really complicated words when you’re talking to her, not to make yourself seem smart, but to annoy her</p>
<p>^ Don’t do that. Nobody likes those kids.</p>
<p>^ the point is to do it to only her, unless I misunderstood. </p>
<p>Also, it seems like she doesn’t like you already anyways, and if you don’t like her, which I don’t see why you would given the circumstances, why not get some payback? </p>
<p>Furthermore, while humility is good, around these kids, or at least this one girl, I don’t think you should be so modest. If she’s getting at you with what she’s saying, stand up for yourself. Flaunt your scores and GPA and maybe she’ll shaddap eventually, lol. Otherwise just ignore them.</p>
<p>Calling an apple an orange doesn’t make it an orange… well unless the whole world thinks it’s one and then they just like… switch the names, but you get what I mean right?</p>
