I feel like a fraud

I'm really not very smart.

My only claim to fame is my good grades, my 100% on my spanish oral exam and my perfect attendance (which they don't recognize in college.)



At least I can fake being smart, right? I mean, as long as I get good grades people will continue telling me I am.

But I'm getting closer to graduating (two more years, it's close enough for me to freak out) and I can't really get good grades, get perfect attendance and get 100% tests in the real world.

I'm fucked.

I'm antisocial and talentless.

I came across your post when looking in jbcs's friends posts (I dunno why I was poking around in there but whatever)...

I am the same way. I feel this way about myself and it's devistating sometimes. But I'll tell you what.... it's a symptom of being an overachiever and having low self-esteem. We really are smart, otherwise we wouldn't do as well as we do. I beat myself up over the same stuff.

I don't really know what the solution is, but damn... if you find out, let me know? I'll certainly tell the world if I do. It's really not just you. I've heard therapy helps but I've not yet gone... I'd beat myself up over wasting the money probably.

I dunno if this is helpful or not. I read your post and it hit a chord with me since I feel very much the same way most of the time. :( *hugs*
