But regret that you didn't work hard enough is way worse than feeling empty. Atleast you still achieved something. Meanwhile me on the other hand is left with nothing other than regret for not doing well.

I deeply recommend Brené Brown books. It can help you to learn how to love yourself and find your own peace. I also truly recommend doing therapy, it helped me to understand my insecurities and fears better. Anyway, start loving yourself isn’t a easy or quick journey, but I can say that it’s really a more peaceful way of life. ❤💗 I hope this was helpful! 🥰
Similarly, I don't work hard because I am ambitious, I work hard because I am not 'gifted' enough to be successful otherwise. And I've been conditioned by my parents to think one has to earn the privilege of life through accomplishment.

My family don't expect much of me. I shouldn't be pressured they say. But I feel like they don't expect as much because I don't give impressive enough results. They want me to be a pretty young lady because my sister already claimed the smart daughter title. Fuck that.
Heyya, I'm an older sister who is supposed to be the 'smart daughter' and I think that perhaps your sister may have it hard as well. I do. Sometimes I even feel jealous of my younger sister as she is free to do what she wants whereas I'm supposed to be this machine that can support the family in the future. I don't mean to compare your sister's life with yours or anything but I guess you guys can look out for eachother. It's always nice to have someone who will understand you.
@@StarStar-ec1dd It's the same for me.Except out of 5 kids I'm the smart one and I'm the second youngest.3 out of the 5 kids in our family can do whatever the hell they want,but I'm stuck overworking myself over grades while my older brother is the workhorse that they think has no feelings or opinions.(This isn't my parents doing,but my 2 grandmothers and,sadly,my other siblings.)All because we aren't my dad's biological kids
it's not just about over achieving in school. it's also about overachieving in social life, love, career, art etc I think that for that reason anyone can relate to this song because we're all chasing after something and never feel satisfied
How can one overachieve (or even achieve) in social life or love? One can assess achievement in school or in a career by the level of advancement, especially compared to peers/contemporaries. But what can one accomplish and how can one excel in categories which have nothing to do with excellence?

In 8th grade, I really really wanted to be Rory Gilmore and get her grades. There were many nights spent on my floor with notebooks and flashcards all around me, when I did not need to study that hard. I succeeded at my goal and got no less than 98% in all my classes, but the second I got a B on a test or dropped to around a 91% as my overall grade, I broke. I was very proud of myself for those grades, but I’m not repeating that. Now I’m in 9th grade, and do half of what I did last year and still receive all A’s. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
Holy crap, I am genuinely so speechless. This is fantastic, the scene and character choice is simply perfect. I can't believe you don't have more likes, this should have a million views! 💛
This is so good!! My Favorite is Hermoine because, well, she totally fits this song. She works hard, and still, everyone criticizes her for being a muggle. She finally finds someone who loves her for her, but he leaves her for another girl! Finally, she gets the right one though, Ron's a lucky guy.
@@gamerrex5940 I think they meant that both Hermione and Ron knew they were interested in each other but Ron purposely chose to go with Lavender during HBP (Half-Blood Prince) But yeah, they weren't really together at the time
"are you satisfied with an average life" this sentence attracts me so much because my biggest fear was what if i have an ordinary life and still is but i am slowly learning to let it go and adapting to changes and Things that will or might happen but am learning how to get through them We all are just humans who lives once so i want to make the best version of myself but also i wanna Nourish myself and love myself to the fullesr
I am never satisfied with anything. School bores me to death, I want something greater than that. I'm always finding something else worth my time. The idea of mediocrity revolts me. Now that I'll be competing for a chess tournament in a few weeks, my desire grows stronger. If anything, I'm an obsessed artist who will never be satisfied.
my class is literally just filled with high achievers- the smart kids. including me. I think our class is a mistake. the high expectations placed on us led to us being stressed about grades, performances, teacher's expectations. I think our class should've never existed. guess that's the life of a special science class student and being asian. nothing but high expectations awaits you.
I'm in top set (what we call the higher class in England). Our class (who funnily enough happens to be majority asian) often stressed and worried about grades, marks and that kinda thing. Theres this one kid who takes this to the extreme and overworks to maintain his reputation as the top student and his grades, constantly needing to be perfect as he craves that validation from the teachers and classmates. He gets so upset when he gets lower marks than some of us. This class is often praised by the teachers but little do they know what's really going on. Here they try to solve problems when there was never a problem and the solution involves creating more problems. It's such a toxic environment
as much as shit this is better than being popular which doesn't mean shit and you will regret it later on as long as u get good marks and pass ur grades and be successful thats enough lol
I was in the regular science in 8th grade, got promoted to advance class in 9th grade. It is super hard to adjust. I feel like I’m behind in everything. I’ve also observed how very different I am now from back then. I was more active or I felt more fulfilled in 8th grade. Now, I don’t know. I hate this.
But nothing feels worse than being just avergae. When u write smth wromg they are like thats soo easy. And u feel worse than u could ever feel. And when there r no expectations from u as u r just the avergae worst girl. And u look at the topper and every teacher is giving them importance. And u think to yourself, "whether i study or not, i never get good marks" and those toppers arr crying over 91% and 92% anf i am stuck at 81 and 83% and thinkinh if i can ever be them.
In Elementary, I was in the star sections Fast Learners/Gifted and Talented. I was in the STE back in Junior High. And of course I would choose STEM once I reach Senior High but, once I entered the classroom and was moved to the back of the class. That's when I decided to transfer to HUMSS. And that's when I finally enjoyed learning. It's hard though that ppl kept on claiming "ppl go to humss to make it easy or because they're undecided." I'm still coming to terms with my decision, and is planning on taking law someday. One thing people often overlook about humss is that, it fosters our future politicians, government leaders, teachers, military personnel, police, jobs that prioritizes social order. As of now, I hope no strand suffers any discrimination; such as the saying "your body, you choice" we must also keep in mind "your life, your choice."
i don't get high expectations from my parents as i used to. they say they understand that what i study is difficult, and that i shouldn't put pressure on myself, that i shouldn't kill myself trying to be on top of the class like i used to. but it's been so long since i felt "free" from pressure that i'm so used to the intense anxious feeling of trying to be the best. though, i don't think i was ever the "best". so now to compensate for the expectations i don't believe i ever met, i work harder and harder and harder. it's so sickening how they tell me to chill out, how they tell me that i am doing good enough, when i, myself, don't even feel like i am good enough.
i fkng love these videos so much as an average student even tho i can't relate to them cause whenever i feel like breaking down from stress and huge jealousy for the top students, it gives me comfort to think about them like this, how im not the only one who is struggling and having a hard time from school.
i dont know when why or how i put such high standards for myself academically, my family js wants me to try my best, and be happy w what i get. but i always feel the need to excel beyond my limits, and to be better than everyone else around me. and to add to the fact, i was always perceived as the smart kid, but now i’m a burned put “gifted kid”
Ok, I am not a native English speaker, it is my second language so you will see mistakes, anyway I will tell my tragic story with the help of this song that made me feel so much and remember too much. It turns out that in my country there is something called a bachelor's degree, which would be like a high school or an academic study that goes before university, it lasts 4 or 5 years. The thing is that from the first year I found out that there was a board with the places of the people who got the best grades and I don't know why, that year there was always 2 left. Over time, and it wasn't until third that I got the acclaimed first place. Let's say that at that moment I found out that the girl who was always first, in fact, was the younger sister of a school employee, to complete the favorite of my Spanish teacher, you can't imagine how horrible it was that in front of the whole class "This teacher" discredited my first place and humiliated me in front of everyone, practically making no effort, saying that the other girl was better, and that the place did not matter, if not the average, when I had the average tallest in the whole school. Later I changed schools, and I discovered that in this one they gave small golden stickers to the first places. In 4th I tried very hard to be first, because my brain had not accepted the previous time in my school when I was first (Because of what happened with the teacher, I felt bad, and lowered myself and took effort) That's why, when I'm in 1st place. (During the pandemic, and although they didn't give me stickers, nor did they write me down on a board, I swear I was happy) Until they gave me the ballot or final grade,. and he said that he had been second, not first! Because of the covid I was never able to claim anything, but imagine my surprise when I started classes this year and discovered that, the supposed first place "And the most studious" That, I sincerely feel, she used me as a friend to improve her grades (Subject for another story) She is the daughter of the owners of a bakery. I was surprised when a teacher told her that a sweet was very good and she enjoyed it with her wife, blah, blah, blah. I broke my head studying and by God, how I tried, even so, when I was first in my 2nd period, this girl came and said "Where did you stay?" I answered first. I congratulated her when she told me that she did too, and my heart broke when she replied "Yes, I think there was a mistake. What was your first? God, I never suffered so much in my life. I swear that before I made an effort, I read, I studied but sincerely and if someone asks me, I lost motivation, I still have excellent grades, but it is not the same as before, at first I felt bad, as they have no idea, but when I received a call from a relative As it turns out, I was playing dominoes with my math teacher, I found out that this girl literally brought "sweets or bread from her beloved bakery" to the teachers. Now I understand that the effort often does not work at all, because, There are always external factors that somehow open your eyes and make you see that grades are not everything in this life. Sorry for My English...
No people discredited you because of covid but you were still 1st, if it is easy to get 1st place during covid then anyone could've gotten it. Your teachers behavior was wrong. There should be no external factor because you were ranked based on grades and you got the best grades. Your teacher behaved poorly. Don't worry you will get the credit you deserve one day
Know that you are intelligent and capable even if you don’t get external validation. It’s hard but keep your self confidence even if others don’t see it.
As someone who had a similar experience, I empathize with you. Unfortunately I let all teacher and classmates comments to hurt me deeply to the point I really wanted to abandoned college and low my grades. However, my mom keep trying to support me so I don’t give up my studies. It isn’t the same but I keep trying. I have been advancing and my grades are finally going up slowly. Just don’t listen to those, you are intelligent and worthy of anything good in life. Don’t discredit yourself from your own achievements because these do matter.
@@nikoniko_ni4456 Thank you very much! Luckily I'm out of high school and into college, I'm finishing a little introductory course that I decided to start before classes start, but it's been fantastic. Being honest, I understand you and I hope you don't abandon classes for people who are not worth it.
I can relate to this song so much ever since childhood my parents expected me to be good at everything I was the part of debate club , a trained singer , trained dancer , an artist and the topper of my class but then as years went by this became so exhausting I always dreamt of being a doctor and I ended up being a med student but idk I think I have reached my limit....it's like I wanna have fun I wanna have a boyfriend I wanna travel and be just idk happy
I think what works for every overachiever is that he/she is doing what they like... and ik it gets stressful and suffocating sometimes and we can revolt against other people's expectations but what about our expectations towards our own self...like we've so much potential and still we're this slow, this unknown...but yk what we'll get past our fears, we'll work double hard and we'll acheive it. One day in distinct future, when we'll reflect back..we'll be proud of all choices we made today.
i've been the golden kid my whole life, always the first in the whole grade not just class, my mom keeps all my diplomas and projects and grades and shit hidden and really protected, when we see people outside the first thing she says about me is that i'm in med school, and I really feel like I'm not that golden anymore, and I don't want to be, I want to be average and make mistakes and not have people expecting a whole lotta shit from me. My dad is always asking if my grades are high, if I'm ahead of my lectures, if I wanna be a neuro surgeon or a cardio surgeon, are my grades enough to get me to the biggest hospitals.. I actually wanna quit and start traveling around the world.
@@un___kno___ still fighting for the golden ticket..I've got an exam tomorrow and I've procrastinated a lot.. still haven't gotten out of my bubble in any shape or form.. maybe I'm not that brave..
I'm currently a high achiever, like I read books that are like 354 pages in 2 days and finish school work the day it was given yet I still worry if I got a 99% on my results.
This is so me. Just got my gcse results, five 9s and five 8s and one 7 which is one mark off an 8 and so will be remarked. That's ten A*s and one A and i was upset about the 7.
Pushed myself past my limit and got ridiculous burnout. Never EVER place your self worth in achievements. It will never lead to happiness, lesson learned
I love this video so much. I think it's important people understand the meaning of this song. It's about going for what you love. No matter how hard it is. Work hard for what you love. No matter what people say to you. Whether that's academics, hobbies, or anything in general. Leave the life that you never loved or a place you hate because you deserve a future you worked hard for. No matter what age and demographic.
thank you so much for making this, I've been losing motivation to study (which i shouldn't at all) even though this is my final year 😕 this made me gained some motivation back 🤍
I'm not a high achiever (I thought I was one), but whatever I did was what a high achiever did. I need to do that in order to be average as people around me are very smart. But this constant grind is making me feeling exhausted and feeling always empty inside...
I also was kinda like that. But, I have come to like the chase. I finally made peace with failure, and I not only love to reach the final product regardless of success but also the process in between. I love the adrenaline rush I vet once in a while. Though, my main goal isn't really success but my passion. I'd be fine even if I made average living in some small town(that would actually be ideal). I honestly don't even care if I die doing what I love even though I'm scared of death. Reaching this stage feels so liberating. I'm flying on cloud nine for some years now.
I relate to this song because I have been THAT STUDENT who gets straight A's and is the Topper and is perfect since I was born and I know I would do whatever it takes to be THE BEST and yet there's always an emptiness.
I am seeing many comments about how they feel pressurized by their family, however don't we like studying? Don't we ourselves love it achieving every goal we have? in my family I am one of the smart kids, but they don't pressurize me because when I let them see how much I am trying myself then they don't, and I kinda of like it that they know i am trying and it hasn't been like they never pressurized me or said anything, I have been there felt that and overcame it and now i feel lucky i got pressurized, of course not till a stage where i feel burnt out, but i see students around me struggling for even basic concepts and not knowing many things and i find it really good that i was pressurized and prepared be out in this world, to all the girls and boys YOU GOT THIS, YOU HAVE DONE IT BEFORE,YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN, AND NOT FOR ANYONE ELSE THIS TIME BUT FOR YOURSELF!
I was a top student in school but I didn’t get into my dream university, literally cried for like a week, had to go to a uni that I didn’t like. Now it’s been 3 years there, I hate it and I hate my major, I feel like we’re learning nothing, I think about it every day and wish I had made a different decision. Have 1.5 more years to go. And my mental and physical health has gotten worse, yay Trust your intuition, chose what you want to do and don’t major in something that will “supposedly” bring you a lot of money but you have no interest in
I honestly wish I could follow this advice. But my parents are paying for uni, and they may disown me if I don't do as they wish. My father literally considers a law student to be a failed student, because only STEM matters. I don't even want to enjoy my major. I just want to succeed and graduate, go to a prestigious grad school, ultimately have a successful career and live comfortably... and take care of my parents. I want to be their pride. I want to be worthy of them. It doesn't help that my older sister (by 18 months) is brilliant and effortlessly successful. But of course, all my goals are easier said that done. In fact, I am barely getting by.
Thank you for this video I get so motivated when I see other people doing things I want I hate when people from t.v or even real life do better than me this gives me so much motivation to do good and push myself harder :)))
Ngl i used to be a high achiever but i never felt good enough about myself.Now that i let myself go and start to burn out,I begin to fall apart and lose myself
You're not stupid. You're human. Your value will never be dependent on a test. I used to feel that way as well, but I want you to know that mistakes are valuable. We learn the most from our mistakes. Successful people aren't the ones who always have the right answers. They are the ones who are willing to learn and grow and gain something from their mistakes. God bless you. Don't give up.
I... don't know how to explain it, but it just tires me out how people make anything a competition.. I have one of the highest grades in my year, i am always told that i have a bright future, that i will be someone, that i am gifited, smart, intelligent, capable... And i get it, i am, i am not saying that i am not. But why should that difer me from others? Why is it that i will only be someone if i am a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist? I hate how everyone keeps acting like just because i am different in some areas that i need to follow a certain way, or that i am fated to, because when they say that, they imply i am better. But i have no friends, my classmates hate and isolate me. I feel like such a burden for not wanting to be gifted, but it makes people compare themselves to me and hate me in the process. I don't know what i want in life, and when you are so smart like me everyone starts to say things and suggest that you should take a high profile job as if you were better than a barista or a cashier, and you are not, just different. Everything feels like a burnden because they see me as my potential and not what i am today, i don't know exactly what, but something hurts, badly
Tbh it's always better to be a overachiever than being under no matter what anyone says the overachiever will atleast have something with them even if one part is lost like yk preferring to cry in Lamborghini with lots of money is better than crying on bus so let's take it as something which we do normally no offense just my thoughts 💭😅😅😅
I always was a good student, the best in class, and now I'm not that anymore, because another girl is better than me, I've been feeling low and that's why my notes went down :c
Hey you're still a good student regardless if she's better okay? I understand this feeling so much since I'm the dumbest one now and I haven't figured out my life.. great hahahahaaa it feels good to die but I'm just kidding.
@@danielleeleazar5450 well I understand that there's more than being the best in something but still feel a little bad, you know? And yeah, I don't know what to do with my life either, it's just complicated
@@masumi7392 I hope we get to figure it out somehow regardless how bleak the situation is. I've tried going to school again but I had a hard time with everything. Still I hope it's okay if I won't be able to handle everything life has thrown into me. Maybe this time. I'll be kinder to myself.
That is how I've always felt. I study subjects four years in advance (e.g. doing university-level calculus at 14), but it doesn't matter... because my older sister will always be more advanced and more brilliant. And she will always be there for comparison.
Funny how I seemed to work eagerly when I see that I have achieved what I want or got what I want for whatever reasons It's just that I finally have a reason to push harder than my limits It's true that I sacrificed my social life for that matter, but now that I have the results in front of me, I finally seem to have a valid reason to go on Idk man weird logic
Honestly this song gives me trauma, i was like them, i was suffering so much, rn i'm trying to recovery from over working do yeah, it's a different type of bread for me :/
My parents never pressurized me but I did, and now I'm trapped in expectations i built for myself

the fact you included miles teller from whiplash makes me really happy. i feel like i should go watch the queens gambit now
You should.
Yes I love that they don’t only show women
Queen's Gambit was such a good show
Holy crap, I am genuinely so speechless. This is fantastic, the scene and character choice is simply perfect. I can't believe you don't have more likes, this should have a million views! 💛
Thank you so much, i really appreciate it!
This is so good!!
My Favorite is Hermoine because, well, she totally fits this song. She works hard, and still, everyone criticizes her for being a muggle. She finally finds someone who loves her for her, but he leaves her for another girl! Finally, she gets the right one though, Ron's a lucky guy.
Who leaves Hermione for another girl? From what I remember Krum and Hermione broke up mutually and not cause of a girl...
@@gamerrex5940 i think they're talking about Harry IDK 🤷
@@gamerrex5940 I think they meant that both Hermione and Ron knew they were interested in each other but Ron purposely chose to go with Lavender during HBP (Half-Blood Prince)
But yeah, they weren't really together at the time
"are you satisfied with an average life" this sentence attracts me so much because my biggest fear was what if i have an ordinary life and still is but i am slowly learning to let it go and adapting to changes and Things that will or might happen but am learning how to get through them We all are just humans who lives once so i want to make the best version of myself but also i wanna Nourish myself and love myself to the fullesr
i did NOT expect tick tick boom to be in here. very good movie choices & chatacter choices
trueee
I am never satisfied with anything. School bores me to death, I want something greater than that. I'm always finding something else worth my time. The idea of mediocrity revolts me. Now that I'll be competing for a chess tournament in a few weeks, my desire grows stronger. If anything, I'm an obsessed artist who will never be satisfied.
I’m in 8th grade currently, and I’m an overachiever.
God bless your soul. My best advice as someone older: take care of yourself. Your health is important. Always seek peace.
Nina from "Black Swan" is the definition of this song
I love Katara in here. I never thought of her as a high achiever but that’s exactly what she is
Idk why but I got a lot of Monica Geller energy from this song and honestly im stanning
The song is by marina and the diamonds i think because of the voice 🤔
@@CJ-co7sz yeah your right
my class is literally just filled with high achievers- the smart kids. including me.
I think our class is a mistake. the high expectations placed on us led to us being stressed about grades, performances, teacher's expectations. I think our class should've never existed.
guess that's the life of a special science class student and being asian. nothing but high expectations awaits you.
I'm in top set (what we call the higher class in England). Our class (who funnily enough happens to be majority asian) often stressed and worried about grades, marks and that kinda thing. Theres this one kid who takes this to the extreme and overworks to maintain his reputation as the top student and his grades, constantly needing to be perfect as he craves that validation from the teachers and classmates. He gets so upset when he gets lower marks than some of us.
This class is often praised by the teachers but little do they know what's really going on. Here they try to solve problems when there was never a problem and the solution involves creating more problems. It's such a toxic environment
as much as shit this is better than being popular which doesn't mean shit and you will regret it later on
as long as u get good marks and pass ur grades and be successful thats enough lol
I was in the regular science in 8th grade, got promoted to advance class in 9th grade. It is super hard to adjust. I feel like I’m behind in everything. I’ve also observed how very different I am now from back then. I was more active or I felt more fulfilled in 8th grade. Now, I don’t know. I hate this.
But nothing feels worse than being just avergae. When u write smth wromg they are like thats soo easy. And u feel worse than u could ever feel. And when there r no expectations from u as u r just the avergae worst girl. And u look at the topper and every teacher is giving them importance. And u think to yourself, "whether i study or not, i never get good marks" and those toppers arr crying over 91% and 92% anf i am stuck at 81 and 83% and thinkinh if i can ever be them.
In Elementary, I was in the star sections Fast Learners/Gifted and Talented.
I was in the STE back in Junior High. And of course I would choose STEM once I reach Senior High but, once I entered the classroom and was moved to the back of the class. That's when I decided to transfer to HUMSS.
And that's when I finally enjoyed learning. It's hard though that ppl kept on claiming "ppl go to humss to make it easy or because they're undecided." I'm still coming to terms with my decision, and is planning on taking law someday. One thing people often overlook about humss is that, it fosters our future politicians, government leaders, teachers, military personnel, police, jobs that prioritizes social order. As of now, I hope no strand suffers any discrimination; such as the saying "your body, you choice" we must also keep in mind "your life, your choice."
Its a crime that Alex from Modern Family isnt here
i don't get high expectations from my parents as i used to. they say they understand that what i study is difficult, and that i shouldn't put pressure on myself, that i shouldn't kill myself trying to be on top of the class like i used to. but it's been so long since i felt "free" from pressure that i'm so used to the intense anxious feeling of trying to be the best. though, i don't think i was ever the "best". so now to compensate for the expectations i don't believe i ever met, i work harder and harder and harder. it's so sickening how they tell me to chill out, how they tell me that i am doing good enough, when i, myself, don't even feel like i am good enough.
i fkng love these videos so much as an average student even tho i can't relate to them cause whenever i feel like breaking down from stress and huge jealousy for the top students, it gives me comfort to think about them like this, how im not the only one who is struggling and having a hard time from school.
i dont know when why or how i put such high standards for myself academically, my family js wants me to try my best, and be happy w what i get. but i always feel the need to excel beyond my limits, and to be better than everyone else around me. and to add to the fact, i was always perceived as the smart kid, but now i’m a burned put “gifted kid”
Ok, I am not a native English speaker, it is my second language so you will see mistakes, anyway I will tell my tragic story with the help of this song that made me feel so much and remember too much. It turns out that in my country there is something called a bachelor's degree, which would be like a high school or an academic study that goes before university, it lasts 4 or 5 years. The thing is that from the first year I found out that there was a board with the places of the people who got the best grades and I don't know why, that year there was always 2 left. Over time, and it wasn't until third that I got the acclaimed first place. Let's say that at that moment I found out that the girl who was always first, in fact, was the younger sister of a school employee, to complete the favorite of my Spanish teacher, you can't imagine how horrible it was that in front of the whole class "This teacher" discredited my first place and humiliated me in front of everyone, practically making no effort, saying that the other girl was better, and that the place did not matter, if not the average, when I had the average tallest in the whole school. Later I changed schools, and I discovered that in this one they gave small golden stickers to the first places. In 4th I tried very hard to be first, because my brain had not accepted the previous time in my school when I was first (Because of what happened with the teacher, I felt bad, and lowered myself and took effort) That's why, when I'm in 1st place. (During the pandemic, and although they didn't give me stickers, nor did they write me down on a board, I swear I was happy) Until they gave me the ballot or final grade,. and he said that he had been second, not first! Because of the covid I was never able to claim anything, but imagine my surprise when I started classes this year and discovered that, the supposed first place "And the most studious" That, I sincerely feel, she used me as a friend to improve her grades (Subject for another story) She is the daughter of the owners of a bakery. I was surprised when a teacher told her that a sweet was very good and she enjoyed it with her wife, blah, blah, blah. I broke my head studying and by God, how I tried, even so, when I was first in my 2nd period, this girl came and said "Where did you stay?" I answered first. I congratulated her when she told me that she did too, and my heart broke when she replied "Yes, I think there was a mistake. What was your first? God, I never suffered so much in my life. I swear that before I made an effort, I read, I studied but sincerely and if someone asks me, I lost motivation, I still have excellent grades, but it is not the same as before, at first I felt bad, as they have no idea, but when I received a call from a relative As it turns out, I was playing dominoes with my math teacher, I found out that this girl literally brought "sweets or bread from her beloved bakery" to the teachers. Now I understand that the effort often does not work at all, because, There are always external factors that somehow open your eyes and make you see that grades are not everything in this life.
Sorry for My English...
No people discredited you because of covid but you were still 1st, if it is easy to get 1st place during covid then anyone could've gotten it. Your teachers behavior was wrong. There should be no external factor because you were ranked based on grades and you got the best grades. Your teacher behaved poorly. Don't worry you will get the credit you deserve one day
@@nithyaravi2084 Thank you very much!
Know that you are intelligent and capable even if you don’t get external validation. It’s hard but keep your self confidence even if others don’t see it.
As someone who had a similar experience, I empathize with you. Unfortunately I let all teacher and classmates comments to hurt me deeply to the point I really wanted to abandoned college and low my grades. However, my mom keep trying to support me so I don’t give up my studies. It isn’t the same but I keep trying. I have been advancing and my grades are finally going up slowly. Just don’t listen to those, you are intelligent and worthy of anything good in life. Don’t discredit yourself from your own achievements because these do matter.
@@nikoniko_ni4456 Thank you very much! Luckily I'm out of high school and into college, I'm finishing a little introductory course that I decided to start before classes start, but it's been fantastic. Being honest, I understand you and I hope you don't abandon classes for people who are not worth it.
I watch this video at least twice everyday. It keeps me motivated.
0:00-0:02 my mom always says this to me, and my family don't see why I am not glowing up because I study hard.
I can relate to this song so much ever since childhood my parents expected me to be good at everything I was the part of debate club , a trained singer , trained dancer , an artist and the topper of my class but then as years went by this became so exhausting I always dreamt of being a doctor and I ended up being a med student but idk I think I have reached my limit....it's like I wanna have fun I wanna have a boyfriend I wanna travel and be just idk happy
That's the ensured path to misery. Change lifestyle while you still have it in you, afterwards might be too late.
I think what works for every overachiever is that he/she is doing what they like... and ik it gets stressful and suffocating sometimes and we can revolt against other people's expectations but what about our expectations towards our own self...like we've so much potential and still we're this slow, this unknown...but yk what we'll get past our fears, we'll work double hard and we'll acheive it. One day in distinct future, when we'll reflect back..we'll be proud of all choices we made today.
This song makes me motivated but also reminds me of the family pressure that I have on me to do well in school
I can't believe that you didn't put a clip of Alex Dunphy from modern family
Great video and a relatable song. I’d add Elle Woods and Monica Geller as well!
I'm so glad you added Rory Gilmore and Nina Sayers to this!! ✨ Literally this video is SO UNDERRATED
BRB going to study rn
Gotta listen to marina
Me
1:25 1:28 i relate to this 100%, I'm not under pressure but I'm allergic to friends and poverty
I had chills when I saw jonathan larson cuz i was def not expecting that but realized he really fits the character description
Some more characters are Amity Blight, Bronwyn Rojas, Adora, Catra, Annabeth Chase, Francis Janvier, Ishu dey, Sophie Foster, Rayla, Pearl.
Thank you for including Jo and Paris in this they’re amazing
I was expecting for Spencer Hastings
haven't seen pll :(
Amity from The Owl House would also fit with the song :')
i've been the golden kid my whole life, always the first in the whole grade not just class, my mom keeps all my diplomas and projects and grades and shit hidden and really protected, when we see people outside the first thing she says about me is that i'm in med school, and I really feel like I'm not that golden anymore, and I don't want to be, I want to be average and make mistakes and not have people expecting a whole lotta shit from me. My dad is always asking if my grades are high, if I'm ahead of my lectures, if I wanna be a neuro surgeon or a cardio surgeon, are my grades enough to get me to the biggest hospitals.. I actually wanna quit and start traveling around the world.
I hope you gain that freedom from everyone's expectations 🙏 do what you want to do
It's the " quit and travel around the world" that really hit home
Now what are you doing now?.just curiosity
@@un___kno___ still fighting for the golden ticket..I've got an exam tomorrow and I've procrastinated a lot.. still haven't gotten out of my bubble in any shape or form.. maybe I'm not that brave..
@@delhoumkamar248you ARE brave. ♡
My only question is how do all these characters work so hard and hardly ever face burn out.
Beth and rory burned out rory especially
they def burn out though
I'm currently a high achiever, like I read books that are like 354 pages in 2 days and finish school work the day it was given yet I still worry if I got a 99% on my results.
This is so me. Just got my gcse results, five 9s and five 8s and one 7 which is one mark off an 8 and so will be remarked. That's ten A*s and one A and i was upset about the 7.
This song with the characters 👌
Pushed myself past my limit and got ridiculous burnout. Never EVER place your self worth in achievements. It will never lead to happiness, lesson learned
YES 🗣️
I LOVE YOU! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ADDED QATARA FROM AVATAR💘
I relate to Jo alot, it actually makes me feel like im not the only one like that . This life is short and i want to achieve all that i could.
I love this video so much. I think it's important people understand the meaning of this song. It's about going for what you love. No matter how hard it is. Work hard for what you love. No matter what people say to you. Whether that's academics, hobbies, or anything in general. Leave the life that you never loved or a place you hate because you deserve a future you worked hard for. No matter what age and demographic.
thank you so much for making this, I've been losing motivation to study (which i shouldn't at all) even though this is my final year 😕 this made me gained some motivation back 🤍
omg i'm so happy to hear that! just remember that it is normal not having motivation and that's okay, you're doing your best
This edit and this song are masterpieces
I'm not a high achiever (I thought I was one), but whatever I did was what a high achiever did. I need to do that in order to be average as people around me are very smart. But this constant grind is making me feeling exhausted and feeling always empty inside...
This song is literally me everyday of my life since i was twelve . Over achiever who never was pressured but pressured their self
I missed spencer hastings in this, Blair Waldorf too but its a great video
I also was kinda like that. But, I have come to like the chase. I finally made peace with failure, and I not only love to reach the final product regardless of success but also the process in between. I love the adrenaline rush I vet once in a while. Though, my main goal isn't really success but my passion. I'd be fine even if I made average living in some small town(that would actually be ideal).
I honestly don't even care if I die doing what I love even though I'm scared of death. Reaching this stage feels so liberating. I'm flying on cloud nine for some years now.
I relate to this song because I have been THAT STUDENT who gets straight A's and is the Topper and is perfect since I was born and I know I would do whatever it takes to be THE BEST and yet there's always an emptiness.
I am seeing many comments about how they feel pressurized by their family,
however don't we like studying? Don't we ourselves love it achieving every goal we have?
in my family I am one of the smart kids, but they don't pressurize me because when I let them see how much I am trying myself then they don't, and I kinda of like it that they know i am trying and it hasn't been like they never pressurized me or said anything, I have been there felt that and overcame it and now i feel lucky i got pressurized, of course not till a stage where i feel burnt out, but i see students around me struggling for even basic concepts and not knowing many things and i find it really good that i was pressurized and prepared be out in this world,
to all the girls and boys
YOU GOT THIS, YOU HAVE DONE IT BEFORE,YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN, AND NOT FOR ANYONE ELSE THIS TIME BUT FOR YOURSELF!
I love this song so much, Marina my beloved
ilysm for all these picks but ESPECIALLY tick tick boom
i am putting this to my study motivation
I was a top student in school but I didn’t get into my dream university, literally cried for like a week, had to go to a uni that I didn’t like. Now it’s been 3 years there, I hate it and I hate my major, I feel like we’re learning nothing, I think about it every day and wish I had made a different decision. Have 1.5 more years to go. And my mental and physical health has gotten worse, yay
Trust your intuition, chose what you want to do and don’t major in something that will “supposedly” bring you a lot of money but you have no interest in
I honestly wish I could follow this advice. But my parents are paying for uni, and they may disown me if I don't do as they wish. My father literally considers a law student to be a failed student, because only STEM matters.
I don't even want to enjoy my major. I just want to succeed and graduate, go to a prestigious grad school, ultimately have a successful career and live comfortably... and take care of my parents. I want to be their pride. I want to be worthy of them. It doesn't help that my older sister (by 18 months) is brilliant and effortlessly successful. But of course, all my goals are easier said that done. In fact, I am barely getting by.
My anthem
Thank you for this video I get so motivated when I see other people doing things I want I hate when people from t.v or even real life do better than me this gives me so much motivation to do good and push myself harder :)))
Rory Gilmore is the real study motivation for me
Ngl i used to be a high achiever but i never felt good enough about myself.Now that i let myself go and start to burn out,I begin to fall apart and lose myself
goshh this is my favourite song from the family jewels album and I'm in shock this video exists
I am obsessed with Hermione Granger and Rory Gilmore📔☕♥️
i made a lousy mistake in a test, now it costed me my mental health. I'm very upset, it should have been right. if I wasn't stupid enough
You're not stupid. You're human. Your value will never be dependent on a test.
I used to feel that way as well, but I want you to know that mistakes are valuable. We learn the most from our mistakes. Successful people aren't the ones who always have the right answers. They are the ones who are willing to learn and grow and gain something from their mistakes.
God bless you. Don't give up.
I... don't know how to explain it, but it just tires me out how people make anything a competition..
I have one of the highest grades in my year, i am always told that i have a bright future, that i will be someone, that i am gifited, smart, intelligent, capable...
And i get it, i am, i am not saying that i am not.
But why should that difer me from others? Why is it that i will only be someone if i am a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist? I hate how everyone keeps acting like just because i am different in some areas that i need to follow a certain way, or that i am fated to, because when they say that, they imply i am better.
But i have no friends, my classmates hate and isolate me.
I feel like such a burden for not wanting to be gifted, but it makes people compare themselves to me and hate me in the process.
I don't know what i want in life, and when you are so smart like me everyone starts to say things and suggest that you should take a high profile job as if you were better than a barista or a cashier, and you are not, just different.
Everything feels like a burnden because they see me as my potential and not what i am today, i don't know exactly what, but something hurts, badly
ohh my drl be fine 😞⭐️
I relate sm to you and it honestly sucks
Also Leonardo da Vinci from the show Leonardo, my fave show ever and Aidan Turner was AMAZING
The fact that Dany is here, I love it!❤
people in the comments saying they’re motivated (?) the song is so sad
this is my academic anthem when I was in grade 12, but now I am in first-year college and suffering in my burnout era 🥹
youtube recommends me this and its like a personal attack.
THIS IS SOOO GOOD!!THANK U FOR MAKING THIS😭😭🙏
I always watch this video before studying. Really motivates me.
i am trying my best and studying alot if i don't get good marks this time i would dieeee
I did got the highest but did it satisfied me a big no I wanna die god
I'm obsessed!.
High Achiver don't you see? Baby nothing comes for free - Me and every other kid at my high achieving grammar school.
The fact that even distant people will go asking my parents if I am mentally okay after finding out my class roster speaks MILES lmao
Omg I love this.
Me encantó!
graciasss!!!!
they just like me fr!!! we also needed annie from community!!
the way these are my fav characters
i got excited every time hermione granger appeared
this is really a masterpiece.
Tbh it's always better to be a overachiever than being under no matter what anyone says the overachiever will atleast have something with them even if one part is lost like yk preferring to cry in Lamborghini with lots of money is better than crying on bus so let's take it as something which we do normally no offense just my thoughts 💭😅😅😅
I feel all sort of emotions at once rn I hate exams
I always was a good student, the best in class, and now I'm not that anymore, because another girl is better than me, I've been feeling low and that's why my notes went down :c
Hey you're still a good student regardless if she's better okay? I understand this feeling so much since I'm the dumbest one now and I haven't figured out my life.. great hahahahaaa it feels good to die but I'm just kidding.
@@danielleeleazar5450 well I understand that there's more than being the best in something but still feel a little bad, you know? And yeah, I don't know what to do with my life either, it's just complicated
@@masumi7392 I hope we get to figure it out somehow regardless how bleak the situation is. I've tried going to school again but I had a hard time with everything. Still I hope it's okay if I won't be able to handle everything life has thrown into me. Maybe this time. I'll be kinder to myself.
That is how I've always felt. I study subjects four years in advance (e.g. doing university-level calculus at 14), but it doesn't matter... because my older sister will always be more advanced and more brilliant. And she will always be there for comparison.
Love your vids>>>>>>
Thanks for making us stronger!!!
Just found you on Instagram and now here. You did a good job! Go ahead bro ❤️
omg hardwork...it's nothing about me 💗
Funny how I seemed to work eagerly when I see that I have achieved what I want or got what I want for whatever reasons
It's just that I finally have a reason to push harder than my limits
It's true that I sacrificed my social life for that matter, but now that I have the results in front of me, I finally seem to have a valid reason to go on
Idk man weird logic
Honestly this song gives me trauma, i was like them, i was suffering so much, rn i'm trying to recovery from over working do yeah, it's a different type of bread for me :/
I just cant accept to be a normal life girl no i just cant have to have success its just i can't shake
I got into college and got the grades I wanted but I feel like I lack the drive in college now
Katara being shown i love it
Being hardworking to be successful for me can be as draining as being hardworking for others
Recommendation for Hermione but The clips un Prisoner in Askaban she takes so many subjects . Btw great vid!
is it a coincidence that almost all high-achieving characters in fiction are women?
