<p>People are always getting mad and jealous with me because I mess around in class, do all of my work in the last 10 minutes, never study, and then have the highest grades and test scores on everything. Not everyone is having this annoyed and angry attitude with me. It's just the kids that are complete teacher's pets and sit in the back all class, lifeless, deep into their work. Then when all else fails they're like "you're stupid." Are they right to be irritated? There's not really much to do. It's not like I'm gonna pretend to be stuck on easy topics and take extra time to do work. Is anyone else here like me? Does anyone KNOW anyone like me and is irritated?</p>
<p>Act surprised when you get a good grade, the plebs love that.</p>
<p>The thing is that (aside from those extreme tryhards) i’ve gathered some reputation as being some genius. So if I acted surprised everyone would know its on purpose. They irritate me too. I cant stand people who have no fun in life, and think that they’re to smart to do stupid fun things.</p>
<p>They’re jealous you’re a boss and they’re not. Keep doing what you do and let the haters hate.</p>
<p>Here’s what I do. I don’t care what they think of me. If they choose to dislike me because I get good scores then they probably aren’t the type of people I would like to associate myself with anyways. They have no right to be bothered by excellence apart from the obvious jealousy. Stick with the people you can have a conversation with that isn’t about grades. This will make your high achieving seem like less of an issue, the way it should be. And if someone irritates you, like you say, you just have another reason to avoid them. I am not friends with a lot of “try-hards” because their focus on school is annoying. I like the natural talents or just the regular kids who don’t get jealous.</p>
<p>Just ignore them, it’s nothing more than petty jealousy…pretty much harmless. Just keep with what you’re doing, don’t be big-headed about it (NOT THAT YOU ARE…i’m just saying :D)</p>
<p>@GoodACtor I’m like you in that manner. I really enjoy the company of naturally gifted or regular people, but can’t stand grade obsessed try-hards.</p>
<p>Actually, to receive satisfaction, you should mess with them. You should be overly pompous and obnoxious with your actions. It may not be the right thing to do, but hey it’s the end f the year. I can’t stand teacher’s pets. They kiss so much butt in a single period it makes ears bleed and my eyes constantly rolling.</p>
<p>I’m a “try-hard”… 
I don’t really excel at anything.</p>
<p>@niquii no it’s not the end for me haha. I’m doing summer Alg II with these tryhards
@Fantasy If you’re not obnoxious (which a lot of try hards are- not saying u are) then It’s no big deal if you dont excel</p>
<p>Do you tell them your specific grade, or do you just say that they’re decent?</p>
<p>My school thinks I’m a genius.</p>
<p>I don’t really think so.</p>
<p>I do the same thing you do, Noodle, but I don’t like to acknowledge it. </p>
<p>I have people that would have an orgasm if they found out I got a lower score than them.</p>
<p>It flatters me, though. Not annoying at all. <em>grins</em></p>
<p>This is so pathetic. This thread should be named narcissism 101. </p>

<p>I guess I am a sort of meta-narcissist. Whenever I read posts in this vein, I wish for an opportunity to meet the posters, so I can provide them with ample evidence that they aren’t as smart as they think they are. </p>
<p>And yet, by this logic, I would want to do the same with myself. </p>
<p>Huh.</p>
<p>well i think i’m medium smart. my 95% confidence interval for my intelligence is like 96%-99.7%. intelligence is kind of hard to judge and people have slightly different conceptions of what it means, so i try to make my interval wide enough so i will be within in it for a range of definitions of intelligence :p. </p>
<p>i have some narcissistic tendencies i think (innately more than some of my other friends) but i don’t succumb to them too much.</p>
<p>Lets just say I dislike people who mess around in class, it shows a general lack of respect for both peers and teachers. So what if you’re the top of your class? There’s always someone better somewhere, and you are just kickin back, not improving…</p>
<p>this kind of stuff doesn’t happen once you take upper-level classes, especially in college, so enjoy it while it lasts.</p>
<p>Messing around isn’t always bad. If you get your work done, you get your work done. Gotta have fun sometimes.</p>
<p>True true. It’s always good to have fun, but if you’re doing it all the time it’s a bit excessive…just my own thoughts</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with you. When I have too much fun in my classes (in every class) I know I’m starting to slack off, which happened last semester :P</p>
<p>just ignore them. as long as you’re not disturbing other people who are trying to get stuff done than it’s really not their problem</p>
