Do you have a big exam coming up and you're cramming until 5:00 PM? This. I have 3 finals to take. Two Global History exams and cancerous Algebra II.

Okay, sometimes I have too high expectations for myself, so every time I do "well" in something, I still want to do "better". In other words, even if I am 99% to the way of success, I still work overtime for that mere 1%.

Although I know that I'm REALLY REALLY good at things, my brain just dismisses that and thinks I'm... well, meh at everything. But then, when I DO ​​​​​do super good, I suddenly "change my mind" and think that I'm super good and every one else (except for a selected few) is trash in some way.

Also there are people that looks like that they are good at everything, and better than you, but actually they're about the same level as you, but it feels like that they are better than me in almost every way imaginable, then I get super competitive, when I don't (really) need to... Is working too hard ever a bad thing? And is working like my normal self (spend 2 hours doing unproductive-ish stuff, e.g. Discord, Wikia, browsing the web, learning about random stuff) going to get me nowhere? Perfectionist huh? I know, you wanted to get better even when you are at the highest vantage.

"Thinking others did trash when I did super." Same thing for me too.

I also spent time do unproductive things like Zh-En translation @ Vocaloid Lyric Wikia, forum, learns random things, surfing around etc.
