Do "successful" people only hang around others who are successful?
My sister came home. She's pretty successful. She's younger than me. She finished her degree in biochemistry and is thinking of either getting her Masters or taking the MCATS.
She told me successful people like my pdoc would never be friends with someone who was unsuccessful like myself.
My sister puts me down a lot. There's a possibility I got a better grade in organic chemistry II than my sister did, but she says it doesn't mean anything because I only took one class.
I just feel worthless next to my sister. She has a steady boyfriend, lots of friends, is successful in school and has experience in her field.
I told her I don't compare myself to other people and she asked, "Is that what your psychiatrist told you?" implying that she is only doing her job trying to make me feel better but that in reality some people are better than others.
:-(
I wish I were successful.
