As a top student, i cry to this song while doing my performance tasks cause my parents always seem to be not satisfied with 2nd place. I cant seem to get 1st place even if i try cause my academic rival is super smart, but. He's also i the same situation as me so im happy he at least doesn't feel the loneliness i feel since his parents rains him praises every time he gets top 1 :>
im the exact im so tired of it im sick of fit its tiring but be happy with you self and what you have got bcs its your own results in the end of the day
Same but I'm always 1st place if I drop out of 1st place a whole issue abt me comes up with me not studying anymore and always on the phone like I can't take it
The part that says “High Achiever, don’t you see? Baby, nothing comes for free. They say I’m a Control Freak, drivin by the greed to Succeed and nobody can stop me” is probably the most relatable thing
Gifted kid burnout. This is how it feels. You can be so fucking smart, you can always get good scores, but it's never enough. Lucky I'm not alone in this world, with my best friend who goes through the same thing all the time. We are the "smart kids", and that's all we will be.
It's good for you but i don't have smart friends, smart kids always stay away from me treating me like a rival. I have tried many times to approach them but it doesn't seem to work. 😅
All my friends are smart kid our parents force us to compete with each other but we try to hide the fact from eachother they are always disappointed with us and make us compete with eachother for 1st place but we understand and have been friends for 6 years we always change positions but it's just never enough
My parents are the type of people to be just happy with a pass and say it's fine if I'd fail but I have this constant need to get the best of the best marks. I do my own head in for not getting a couple extra marks yet still feel disappointed when I get them. It's hard knowing you do so much yet some others are still clever and they don't understand the academic validation I need to keep myself going.
i'm no longer a gifted kid. I used to get good grades without even trying and now I have to learn all the time to keep up with being the best in the class and I'm so sick of it. I feel like I'd disappoint everyone if I stopped. I hate the pressure
I was gifted in English, I've always gotten full marks. But lately, I've been getting 1 or 1/2 points less. I've been so dissatisfied with myself. I want to just give up now.
same man . and when i tell this to someone they tell me to stop being a "dramatic bitch others are failing and you are here whining about not getting an A+ .
My parents never expected highly of me, but it was because my cousin was just apparently so great at everything. Hand writing, straight hair, good at volleyball, clean room, memory. They had it all. I constantly felt the need to be better, no matter how hard it was. I'm still struggling to this day and I cannot stand it when I get anything below an A+.
Comparing yourself to your cousin or anyone else is not a fair or productive way to evaluate your own worth. It's also important to acknowledge that grades are not the sole measure of your intelligence or potential. While striving for excellence is admirable, it's equally important to focus on personal growth, learning from your experiences, and enjoying the process of acquiring knowledge. Instead of constantly aiming for perfection, try setting realistic goals for yourself and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. Remember that progress takes time, and it's okay to make mistakes along the way. Be kind to yourself and recognize your own worth beyond academic achievements. If these feelings of inadequacy persist and impact your well-being, it might be helpful to talk to a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional who can provide guidance and support.
I am that cousin and believe me, it's also hard. To the others you have the perfect life, to yourself you just want to be like the other kids. *"Oh wow! She went to Spain! Isn't this incredible? She must be having a lot of fun there!"* No, I really prefer to keep to myself, because if I say something, people judge me by how i speak weirdly. If you get good grades, don't tell anyone or else you want attention. If you get bade grades show them because if you don't, you are scared and bad. I always tell my cousins that they don't need the perfect life, my life isn't perfect, i just try to be "a good" family member to everyone, My self-esteem literally depends on them! If I make them upset I hate myself to death, if I make them happy i'm happy too. Yes i have a good handwriting, i have good grades, my room is always clean, i behave well and yes, i can speak several languages too! But you know how frickin hard is too list them everyday and don't make A SINGLE mistake? Or else people think *"Wow, but she wasn't that good at things, how did she go wrong?" I also tell to my cousin's parents to STOP compare them to me because they ARE HUMAN and they ALSO HAVE FEELINGS, THEY ARE NOT ROBOTS TO COPY EVERYTHING. I honestly don't like being this "Perfect Cousin" that everyone talks about. The fact that for me to be happy, i have to make others happy first.
Asian parents always comparing you to your 3 month old cousin who graduated college with straight As and is now working for 16 companies and is very rich😢
"High Achiever, don’t you see? Baby, nothing comes for free. They say I’m a Control Freak, drivin by the greed to Succeedw nobody can stop me cause it's my problem if i wanna pack up and run away" is probably relatable to the most people
I relate to this, I used to have meltdowns every morning because I was so scared to even think about school. I was dealing a lot with depression and anxiety, I'm getting better but sometimes it's good to sit here and really let myself think about what happened as a way to deal with it
I was always scared to go to school because it was the main cause of my depression and anxiety. I'm currently on pills to help it, sometimes I listen to songs like this and think about all the kids that made my school days hell.
This song represents my life in this way:" i’ve won... but at what cost? I’ve only been used by them so they succeed, and they never cared about my deep feelings of loneliness"
This song fits gifted kid burn out and breaking out of high expectations youve been forced into so well. It feels so hurt and angry at the same time. Oh hey, I could animate that with my own personal experience.
Same, I have high functioning autism and adhd and excelled in business and mathematics then after my ex miscarried I had a massive burnout then failed the course and the relationship ended then I got into drinking and class-b drugs and now three weeks sober planning to get into journalism. Always try to turn back as fast as you can. Don’t be afraid to be yourself and keep fighting!
I was the best in my class without studying throughout elementary school, when I got to high school I could no longer get top grades without studying, I remember feeling really bad.
As a high achiever said by my classmates and a top student said by my parents i cry to this song because i know that no matter how hard i try i know they will never be happy
There's a lot of people that connect with this song who seem to have been pressured to do well, or be the best in their studies or other avenues of social competition, but specifically "studies" at school by their parents for the most part, at least from what i can tell, which idk if this song implicitly is referring to that sort of struggle in a vague artistic way, but either way i find that really interesting psychologically. TRUE success, as well as happiness comes from satisfaction in yourself and your own endeavors, having the confidence to not always have external validation, even from family. Ive found using reverse psychology to get an unsupportive family's praise works, by functioning and having confidence, NOT pandering to their, or others' expectations especially unrealistic expectations. Easier said than done I suppose, but hey that's my take on this kind of perspective if you will, not to sound pretentious I'm more than willing to hear out any differing points of view. It's just cool that different music has patterns in the people who enjoy it and their personal trials and tribulations.
I was pulling out my hair The day I got the deal, chemically calm Was I meant to feel happy that my life Was just about to change? One life pretending to be the cat who got the cream Oh, everybody said, "Marina is a dreamer" People like to tell you what you're gonna be It's not my problem if you don't see what I see And I do not give a damn if you don't believe My problem, it's my problem That I never am happy It's my problem, it's my problem On how fast I will succeed Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life? High achiever, don't you see? Baby, nothing comes for free They say I'm a control freak Driven by a greed to succeed Nobody can stop me 'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life? Are you satisfied with an easy ride? Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied? Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, prayin' Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, waitin' Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life? Are you satisfied with an easy ride? Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied? Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied, are you satisfied?) Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied?) Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied, are you satisfied?) Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
My classmates always view me as one of the ‘smart kids’ of the class, but the thing is, I don’t always feel like one. Having people always say I’m smart makes me feel like that’s all I’ll ever be, and since everyone’s always viewing me that way, it makes me feel even more stupid whenever I get something wrong, no matter how big or small it was. Since that’s all I’m known for, it makes me scared that if I get enough stuff wrong people won’t view me as the smart kid anymore and I’ll just be nobody
Help the others with what you can, try to explain them (if they want it) and to teach them things step by step, the way only a fellow student can do, not a professor. It will help you because explaining a concept is the best way to make sure you understand it, and it will help others, who will start to see you as the kind one as well as the smart one. Your grades can change, but the faith others put in you will not.
Im so tired of trying to compete with my childhood bestfriend and with my worst enemy. They are mostly the people competing, but since ive been in the same section with my childhood bestfriend my whole school life until now, ive always been overshadowed. Im an honor student and honestly I think I deserve more recognition.
it feels good to know that there's poeple who feel the same as me. being pressured by parents to achieve higher marks. what's worse is our top 1 is my best friend. i only come in top 2 or 3 and it really hurts cause i continuesly go lower even more. i get blamed for to much screen time and not putting effort. but i don't feel envios or anything with my friend, our grades won't end our friendship no matter what.
i had a completely different story than an over achiever & relate to this song. its crazy to see everyone’s interpretations due to their own experiences:)
This year was my first year at highschool. I was a top 1 student on my elementary school. I got the 4th place on my class on the exam. My parents called me a loser and a stupid child. They force me to get the first place on the end year exam. I never been in this much pressure before.
There's this program called the Magnet program where I love and it's basically advanced and more focused studies, helps with college apps. Etc. I've been wanting and fighting to get in for 3 years. I applied and didn't make it but many of my friends who just didn't seem to care at all about the program got in. I'm happy for them, but it hurt. The line "high achiever, don't you see? Baby nothing comes for free; they say I'm a control freak driven by a need to succeed" I really feel
This is so relatable because my parents are never satisfied, whenever I make realistic beautiful perfect art they don't look and just say oh it's "good" and the tell me to go away they are working, idk why people do this but they don't understand
@@natalieh7257 thank you for asking! i’ll know if i passed after the 2nd exam which takes place on may 3rd and 4th! it’s like an average between the two exams. i didn’t really nail the first but it can still work out so yeah i hope it does lol
As a top student, I cry and cry and cry to this song, every time I listen to it. Whether I'm the top one, my parents, relatives, and teachers never seem to be proud of me, or they are never satisfied with what I get. It is honestly so much pressure, but now that I am in 6th Grade, it so much more pressure. My classmates are starting to bloom, and I'm losing to them. My goal is to be the valedictorian to make them happy, but my academic rival is smart, and very nice. I don't know what to do, at least she is happy with the praises she gets. I'm honestly jealous of her because even is she loses, her parents are always proud of her. This is the most relatable song I have heard about my academics :
Hey, it's alright. I'm here. I'm like your situation too. My mom always praises my other friend and never me. I support you! Don't worry. Maybe she's just not the right puzzle piece for you. ❤
Not at all, this is for anxious top students and nothing else. Actually, I think most people of gen z do not take school seriously anymore so it's far for this song to be theirs. (I'm gen z)
@@bianca.plana111 it's for the kids who cry if they don't get a high enough score and feel like they're going to have a panic attack when they have to show they're parents any of there tests that isn't top tier not just for the top students it's for the ones who are trying to hard they're on the brink of breaking down and just quitting
As a student I'm crying on this song, my bestie (our class president) is what I'm thinking on this song when i heard it, why? Because her mom d!3d a day/week ago, i feel her, a lot. I also kinda depressed sometimes. Sometimes we ignore each other, And mostly sometimes im jealous because my bestie with my Other bestie is always each other, I feel like I'm alone, but since my Other bestie (i have 3 bestie) always been with me, but sometimes me fight or ignore, mostly on Science, Back to the Class President, ofc we have a group chat (gc), she typed about her being a president, because our teacher always pick her. But for now she removed that message and i comforted her, so now it's alright! :)
I feel bad for u cuz i killed many peoples in the past but police caught me but they sent me to the hospital for therephy and fix me cuz im abused but this song made me show emotions for the first time so pls dont say that you are sad always be happy (exept me im not stable to go out of the hospital)and suceed if u try
I wouldn’t Say I’m the class topper, but I’m at least in the top 5. I work hard to achieve success, but tbh, my main motivation is to please my mother. She always get’s upset when I don’t get the best grade or when someone else get’s a better grade than me. My mum is already having a pretty hard life and I really don’t Want to stress her out more, so I do the best I can to make her happy. People always ask me Why I’m always so upset when I don’t get the best grade and they never seem to understand when I try to explain this to them
As a person who has parents that don't really care for grades unless I actually pass because they do care for me a lot but I have a few friends whom have higher academic grades than me and I'm happy for them but I just feel so compelled to get higher scores, I always had this pattern where I'd ace all of my finals one year and lose a few marks the next and I had broken that pattern this year as I was supposed to ace my finals but I didn't I lost maybe a few marks around some exams and some I didn't lose any in but I still felt so frustrated with myself that I couldn't get higher marks. Even if my mom and dad keep telling me "it's okay if you didn't get the full marks, we're still proud of you", I still feel like I should do it and get higher marks, I'm lucky to have parents like them but I don't know I just feel like I need to get higher marks and become a doctor or something with high pay so I can support them and let them live their dreams even if I really want to become something else. I kept telling myself that I could keep the other thing as a hobby or something to do in the weekends but I still want to do it full time, I just want everyone to be happy but I can't seem to do so, I'm the type of person who can't really comfort people when they're scared or sad, I just stand there uncomfortably, just feeling kind of useless while my body feels like it can't move. Maybe it's because of my relationship with my brother or maybe it's because this generation is messed up or maybe it's just how I am, my mom keeps telling me to get off of my phone but I can't seem to do so, it's just how I am I guess. But that's not the point, I just feel like I should make people happy or at least somewhat content even if it costs me my own happiness... I'm sorry you had to read all this and I hope you're taking it easy on yourself, please rest well and do what makes you happy.
i love this song its so relatable and nostalgic because my brother (Cody) he was always the "Golden Child" and my parents thought i was never good enough and thought he did everything better than i did when he put no effort into his studies. I never wanted to see they're faces again so by the time i turned 18 i moved out and i lived my own new life with nobody pressuring me to do everything better and with nobody comparing me to my brother and saying he's better than me. I know i still get compared to my brother a lot by my parents but i still love him. When i left we got separated but we were still in contact, i do miss him a lot but not my parents who gave no support and never fucking cared about me. I'll always love you bro 🥲
“High achiever don’t you see? Baby nothing comes for free. They say I’m a control freak driven by greed to succeed” it honestly relates to me a lot. I’m a control freak, I also am very greedy. I hate to admit it.
Idk if I have the right to relate to this since im an overachiever who’s lazy. Like I wanna be better but I also give up too easily when I feel like it gets really tough. I wanna succeed in life but I’m too scared to even take the risk of failure, that’s why I just do nothing at all. + My family’s okay with what scores/grades I get but I can see that they’re expecting something from me
I have been the top 1 student my whole life , It's my last year of school and seems like I can't find my motivation .. So here I'm pouring my tears out and thinking of old me , when my parents used to praise me , when my parents were satisfied and When teachers used to praise me ! I will work on me for me for my parents and for the people that care for me PLEASE REMIND ME TO STUDY
this song really talks about my life. Throughout my childhood, I lived in the shadow of my perfect sister, every achievement was an obligation for my parents, and I was afraid of failure. Because of this, I began to lie compulsively so that no one would point out that I was a failure.
"Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, prayin' Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, waitin'" just this part of this song says everything I feel since I came to live in this world, and waiting for the day my life changes or the day I die.
The only thing I pray wholeheartedly is that I have academic success. Because I don't have any other talent. But now, I have even failed in tests. It's so difficult to study 😭. I have the entire pressure on me, only daughter - need to prove to the world that even I can.
Im in fourth grade i was diagnosed with depression,i cry to this song my sister is amazing at everything she's pretty and so fucking smart next to her i feel so dumb
song lyrics because i wanna write it :D I was pulling out my hair the day I got the deal Chemically calm Was I meant to feel happy that my life Was just about to change? One life pretending to be the cat who got the cream Oh, everybody said, "Marina is a dreamer" People like to tell you what you're gonna be It's not my problem if you don't see what I see And I do not give a damn if you don't believe My problem, it's my problem That I never am happy It's my problem, it's my problem On how fast I will succeed Are you satisfied with an average life?

There was a tiktoker who posted a video that used this song and it really hits me, so I find this song and listen when I felt like quitting. I want to use this to motivate my self and be a high achiever someday so I can be proud of myself.
That song acually made me cry since my parents wer always unsatisfied with my academic achievements, i've always been in 2nd place but they wanted me to be 1st, and there was that one girl that studied with me every year since primary and she was the class topper, my parents used to compare me to her but didn't provide me even half what she had AND she actually was just smarter and i wasn't so when we became in high school i started to cheat so i can get the 1st place at least once, unfortunately the once who are known for cheating in tests weren't good friends to be with, i started hanging out with them more often and my degrees actually started to get lower and lower till i became the type of students that just keep wishing to pass the tests
i used to be a perfectionist out of fear of being abandoned, and the pressure and unachievable standards that mindset brings to you the stress i quickly came to realize that mindset wasn't doing me any good and i'm happy to have moved away from that mindset.
I listen to this song to motive me to not give up and to get the best score I can . I know I won’t ever be a 100% student but at least I try and my parents support me with that. Honestly, it’s already surprising I got to where I’m at now .
As someone who used to be the perfect golden, smart child that made my parents proud, only for it to be stolen by my brother and started becoming the problematic child that my parents dislike, I can relate to this song sm
As an average student i always wanted to stand out in class and i can really relate with the line " are u satisfied with an average life"? I have admission exams in 16months and im trying alot to better myself but turns out im always the ordinary student the not so bad and not the brightest one but the middle one alwaysss , this song is always my fvrt
I am known as “Smart” at my school. Sometimes I put way to much pressure on myself and Every time when I don’t do good on something so small like an assignment, I feel like an absolute failure. As time goes on though, I made more friends and I stopped putting so much pressure on myself and i don’t feel as horrible when I don’t do good.
I've always craved my parents validation. I feel like if I don't meet there expectations I would be a burden. I built a well known mask for now. I'm now known as the "cheerful kid" but it's just a mask. No one would understand me. So I built a good mask. For 7 years I build that fake mask. I'm super clingy to my friends. Because I don't want to lose them. I've already lost my dad, my best friend and my cousin there were important to me. Thats why I have abandonedment issues. I want to die but I have already achieved a lot and I don't want that to go to waste. This song embodies me. Everyone who feels this way too
This is one of my favorite songs as I have an average life. My parents want me to get all these high grades but I just cannot. All I was is to get all these good grades. My boyfriend always have all these good grades I want to ask him for help but I just cannot bring myself to do it.
hey there, "gifted student" here. ive always been good at math, and im currently taking a math class that is 3 grades ahead of where i should be. my social studies and science class are both a grade ahead as well. ive never been the best at ELA but no matter what i do kids make fun of me for not getting full marks in my ELA class despite me trying my hardest and doing so well and having other talents. thankfully i have great friends, but just know that you are not alone. if anybody tries to pressure you, just stop hanging around them
I've read some comments and i have to say, why don't parents realize we are still kids? we should not have to prove our worth threw academic validation. i understand not wanting a D or C but needing an A+ is a bit much, parents need to know that there high expatiations make kids feel unloved, a burden or/and lowers our self esteem. and they wonder why we are so tired, angry and depressed. I'm sorry for those who have to deal with this. You are not alone.
Dude I'm 5 grades ahead in English 2 grades ahead in math and in mma,choir ect "beautiful" apparently and there is so much expected of me and I feel if I mess up anything I'll be in trouble or disappointed in
At this point I used to be the top student but my parents never used to be satisfied with my achievements and they always used to pressure me.They pressured me so much that I stressed and because of panic and all my grades started to fall but I am still trying to bring them up back. I am also the eldest in the family so everything should be done and managed by me I have never got to live my life to the fullest and have never done anything that most teenagers do at their age.I should be studying all the time but thank God I started to play volleyball cuz it helped me to set my mind on something instead of studying all the time.
being perfect in academics *and* anything you do is hard. the constant fear of disappointing out peers, the overwhelming feeling of failure. it never stops. my academic rival gets lower marks than me, yet his parents praise him for 3rd place and 2nd. my parents would scold me for getting lower than 1st. that's why i don't. i've learnt to get the top score every single time. i have never missed any competition. i do all extra curriculums possible for me. my younger sibling gets praised for coming last, even though he gets all the help from my parents. i have adapted. i work on my own, i don't need anyone. i have no friends in fear my parents will be disappointed in me for my choices. you could say i'm lonely. i just say im a higher level than anyone else. no one stops me from getting first. *no one* . people say it's greed. i call it high achieving.
I always listen to this song whenever i need that academic energy even my parents don't pressure me and i'm thankful for that but the biggest thing that I know is that I always pressure myself to be the best and I'm really not satisfied with an average life. I want more , I want to dream more and make all that dreams come true. I want that success where I can take my family to 5 star restaurant where we can travel everywhere we want, I want that life so bad. And in that I hope I will be truly satisfied.
I am very passionate about art. I wish to one day learn how to draw but my parents arent really into that idea.. i am always compared to my older siblings “oh your sister is so much prettier than you” or “you’ll fail because your sister got low grades so you’ll get lower” just because my sister used to skip classes and didnt know how to learn from her own mistakes for her to throw her worries at me for her to feel better about it? I’ll never listen to her advices because i know how to fix my own problems and i am not her. Nor am i my mother. And i am not the son my mom always wished for her to push her ideals in me because my other siblings rejected it. Sure i’ll push myself for to satisfy my parents but i wont push myself so hard that my parents would push their ideals too much into me. I am tired. I am frustrated. I am angry. But i cant express that because it’d be my fault for feeling like that, not because my siblings like to be “silly” and miss with me. Ever since i was a kid my siblings would always throw their problems at me. I just cant wait to leave this house and find my way to live alone more quiet life.
As a top student, i cry to this song while doing my performance tasks cause my parents always seem to be not satisfied with 2nd place. I cant seem to get 1st place even if i try cause my academic rival is super smart, but. He's also i the same situation as me so im happy he at least doesn't feel the loneliness i feel since his parents rains him praises every time he gets top 1 :>
im the exact im so tired of it im sick of fit its tiring but be happy with you self and what you have got bcs its your own results in the end of the day
Same but I'm always 1st place if I drop out of 1st place a whole issue abt me comes up with me not studying anymore and always on the phone like I can't take it
cheer up!!🧍🏻♀️

Same…
The part that says “High Achiever, don’t you see? Baby, nothing comes for free. They say I’m a Control Freak, drivin by the greed to Succeed and nobody can stop me” is probably the most relatable thing
and it's the best part too 👌🏻
@@yuhhriri yes 🙌
True
Yeah
yea
Gifted kid burnout. This is how it feels. You can be so fucking smart, you can always get good scores, but it's never enough. Lucky I'm not alone in this world, with my best friend who goes through the same thing all the time. We are the "smart kids", and that's all we will be.
Hoping Katherine Howard found her head
@@Hola-8693 Shes still looking 😔
That is so true they say that you're smart but for you it's never enough
It's good for you but i don't have smart friends, smart kids always stay away from me treating me like a rival. I have tried many times to approach them but it doesn't seem to work. 😅
All my friends are smart kid our parents force us to compete with each other but we try to hide the fact from eachother they are always disappointed with us and make us compete with eachother for 1st place but we understand and have been friends for 6 years we always change positions but it's just never enough
My parents are the type of people to be just happy with a pass and say it's fine if I'd fail but I have this constant need to get the best of the best marks. I do my own head in for not getting a couple extra marks yet still feel disappointed when I get them. It's hard knowing you do so much yet some others are still clever and they don't understand the academic validation I need to keep myself going.
THIS is big mood
this is exactly me rn
This is exactly me
This is me and my parents😭
i'm no longer a gifted kid. I used to get good grades without even trying and now I have to learn all the time to keep up with being the best in the class and I'm so sick of it. I feel like I'd disappoint everyone if I stopped. I hate the pressure
Same
I was gifted in English, I've always gotten full marks. But lately, I've been getting 1 or 1/2 points less. I've been so dissatisfied with myself. I want to just give up now.
same man . and when i tell this to someone they tell me to stop being a "dramatic bitch others are failing and you are here whining about not getting an A+ .
Same..
same.
My parents never expected highly of me, but it was because my cousin was just apparently so great at everything. Hand writing, straight hair, good at volleyball, clean room, memory. They had it all. I constantly felt the need to be better, no matter how hard it was. I'm still struggling to this day and I cannot stand it when I get anything below an A+.
Same but in my case, my cousin gets everything without even trying…
Comparing yourself to your cousin or anyone else is not a fair or productive way to evaluate your own worth.
It's also important to acknowledge that grades are not the sole measure of your intelligence or potential. While striving for excellence is admirable, it's equally important to focus on personal growth, learning from your experiences, and enjoying the process of acquiring knowledge.
Instead of constantly aiming for perfection, try setting realistic goals for yourself and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. Remember that progress takes time, and it's okay to make mistakes along the way. Be kind to yourself and recognize your own worth beyond academic achievements.
If these feelings of inadequacy persist and impact your well-being, it might be helpful to talk to a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional who can provide guidance and support.
@@RJ-fn5iz you are so freaking incredible omg I needed to hear this today, thank you
I am that cousin and believe me, it's also hard. To the others you have the perfect life, to yourself you just want to be like the other kids. *"Oh wow! She went to Spain! Isn't this incredible? She must be having a lot of fun there!"*
No, I really prefer to keep to myself, because if I say something, people judge me by how i speak weirdly.
If you get good grades, don't tell anyone or else you want attention.
If you get bade grades show them because if you don't, you are scared and bad.
I always tell my cousins that they don't need the perfect life, my life isn't perfect, i just try to be "a good" family member to everyone, My self-esteem literally depends on them! If I make them upset I hate myself to death, if I make them happy i'm happy too. Yes i have a good handwriting, i have good grades, my room is always clean, i behave well and yes, i can speak several languages too! But you know how frickin hard is too list them everyday and don't make A SINGLE mistake? Or else people think *"Wow, but she wasn't that good at things, how did she go wrong?"
I also tell to my cousin's parents to STOP compare them to me because they ARE HUMAN and they ALSO HAVE FEELINGS, THEY ARE NOT ROBOTS TO COPY EVERYTHING.
I honestly don't like being this "Perfect Cousin" that everyone talks about. The fact that for me to be happy, i have to make others happy first.
Asian parents always comparing you to your 3 month old cousin who graduated college with straight As and is now working for 16 companies and is very rich😢
"High Achiever, don’t you see? Baby, nothing comes for free. They say I’m a Control Freak, drivin by the greed to Succeedw nobody can stop me cause it's my problem if i wanna pack up and run away" is probably relatable to the most people
Yes:(
sadly, yeah
I feel this. I know my parents will still love me if I fail, but I just feel the need to be perfect.
Real
Same
OMG SAME 😭😭😭😭😭😭
real bro✨🤭😭😭
Same
I relate to this, I used to have meltdowns every morning because I was so scared to even think about school. I was dealing a lot with depression and anxiety, I'm getting better but sometimes it's good to sit here and really let myself think about what happened as a way to deal with it
I was always scared to go to school because it was the main cause of my depression and anxiety. I'm currently on pills to help it, sometimes I listen to songs like this and think about all the kids that made my school days hell.
This song represents my life in this way:" i’ve won... but at what cost? I’ve only been used by them so they succeed, and they never cared about my deep feelings of loneliness"
yeah my mom even threatend me that if i failed my 1st quarter shell dropped me out :(
This song fits gifted kid burn out and breaking out of high expectations youve been forced into so well. It feels so hurt and angry at the same time.
Oh hey, I could animate that with my own personal experience.
I was legit thinking of doing that rn lol
You described it so well omg 😭
Same, I have high functioning autism and adhd and excelled in business and mathematics then after my ex miscarried I had a massive burnout then failed the course and the relationship ended then I got into drinking and class-b drugs and now three weeks sober planning to get into journalism. Always try to turn back as fast as you can. Don’t be afraid to be yourself and keep fighting!
Same, but I’m in middle school. I used to be a so “gifted” I’m quite literally failing all my classes but 3
I was the best in my class without studying throughout elementary school, when I got to high school I could no longer get top grades without studying, I remember feeling really bad.
I am not a "high achiever" and all but i relate to this song very much, its like i tried my best to do things but i still fail
I never try but always win
Sameeee it hurtssss😭😭😭
@@GoingToAFuneralim not sure that thats needed here
Most relatable comment
As a high achiever said by my classmates and a top student said by my parents i cry to this song because i know that no matter how hard i try i know they will never be happy
There's a lot of people that connect with this song who seem to have been pressured to do well, or be the best in their studies or other avenues of social competition, but specifically "studies" at school by their parents for the most part, at least from what i can tell, which idk if this song implicitly is referring to that sort of struggle in a vague artistic way, but either way i find that really interesting psychologically. TRUE success, as well as happiness comes from satisfaction in yourself and your own endeavors, having the confidence to not always have external validation, even from family. Ive found using reverse psychology to get an unsupportive family's praise works, by functioning and having confidence, NOT pandering to their, or others' expectations especially unrealistic expectations. Easier said than done I suppose, but hey that's my take on this kind of perspective if you will, not to sound pretentious I'm more than willing to hear out any differing points of view. It's just cool
that different music has patterns in the people who enjoy it and their personal trials and tribulations.

this song reminds me of my biggest fear in life which is to finish school without having any real friends to celebrate with
Can u read my comment plss it s kinda wierd but plss
New fear unlocked. I'm at an international American school outside of America, and my few 'real friends' are moving away in a year or two.
I’m so sorry I just have no friends
At least some one talks to you in my life I never have someone to talk to 😢

I was pulling out my hair
The day I got the deal, chemically calm
Was I meant to feel happy that my life
Was just about to change?
One life pretending to be the cat who got the cream
Oh, everybody said, "Marina is a dreamer"
People like to tell you what you're gonna be
It's not my problem if you don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if you don't believe
My problem, it's my problem
That I never am happy
It's my problem, it's my problem
On how fast I will succeed
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
High achiever, don't you see?
Baby, nothing comes for free
They say I'm a control freak
Driven by a greed to succeed
Nobody can stop me
'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway
It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
Are you satisfied with an easy ride?
Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?
Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, prayin'
Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, waitin'
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?

"Was I meant to feel happy that my life was just about to change." This line is very relatable for me .
My classmates always view me as one of the ‘smart kids’ of the class, but the thing is, I don’t always feel like one. Having people always say I’m smart makes me feel like that’s all I’ll ever be, and since everyone’s always viewing me that way, it makes me feel even more stupid whenever I get something wrong, no matter how big or small it was. Since that’s all I’m known for, it makes me scared that if I get enough stuff wrong people won’t view me as the smart kid anymore and I’ll just be nobody
You're attaching your self-worth to your achievements or being smart
Help the others with what you can, try to explain them (if they want it) and to teach them things step by step, the way only a fellow student can do, not a professor.
It will help you because explaining a concept is the best way to make sure you understand it, and it will help others, who will start to see you as the kind one as well as the smart one.
Your grades can change, but the faith others put in you will not.
Change places with me pls
Im so tired of trying to compete with my childhood bestfriend and with my worst enemy. They are mostly the people competing, but since ive been in the same section with my childhood bestfriend my whole school life until now, ive always been overshadowed. Im an honor student and honestly I think I deserve more recognition.
I'm not smart so I use this to motivate myself to study:')
I’m not smart either : )
i'm not smart either lol
We're the same I feel like I'm not the most bright in our class and have low grades and my parents are disappointed.
Đỉnh ở phần "Nothing comes for free" ấy, mình thích cách bạn Vietsub nó thành " Có làm thì mới có ăn" thật đấy :)))
it feels good to know that there's poeple who feel the same as me. being pressured by parents to achieve higher marks. what's worse is our top 1 is my best friend. i only come in top 2 or 3 and it really hurts cause i continuesly go lower even more. i get blamed for to much screen time and not putting effort. but i don't feel envios or anything with my friend, our grades won't end our friendship no matter what.
As a gifted kid to my mother,this song is really relatable
i had a completely different story than an over achiever & relate to this song. its crazy to see everyone’s interpretations due to their own experiences:)
This year was my first year at highschool. I was a top 1 student on my elementary school. I got the 4th place on my class on the exam. My parents called me a loser and a stupid child. They force me to get the first place on the end year exam. I never been in this much pressure before.
once high school starts, it is normal......sad but it's the reality0
why does this have a few likes THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!!❤
Probably because it’s a lyric video and not made by the person who uploaded this
@@presidentpeashooter4617 this song is a sad song
@@am-the-legendmay6300not really, its becuz its so so
Maybe becuz I can't understand/relate to it
Love how the comments are full of fellow overachievers who are struggling. Makes me feel a little less alone :')
There's this program called the Magnet program where I love and it's basically advanced and more focused studies, helps with college apps. Etc. I've been wanting and fighting to get in for 3 years. I applied and didn't make it but many of my friends who just didn't seem to care at all about the program got in. I'm happy for them, but it hurt. The line "high achiever, don't you see? Baby nothing comes for free; they say I'm a control freak driven by a need to succeed" I really feel
The most catchy part in my opinion starts at 1:00
That is really catchy but in my opinion i think the change in the beggining was the best one
Real
This song is just.. it hits differently.
This is so relatable because my parents are never satisfied, whenever I make realistic beautiful perfect art they don't look and just say oh it's "good" and the tell me to go away they are working, idk why people do this but they don't understand
listening to this on a sunday as i wake up at 7am to study again and again for my medical school exam in 2 days AAAAAH
I wish you luck!
@@magicalredhollow7633 tysm!!
Did you pass?
@@natalieh7257 thank you for asking! i’ll know if i passed after the 2nd exam which takes place on may 3rd and 4th! it’s like an average between the two exams. i didn’t really nail the first but it can still work out so yeah i hope it does lol
As a top student, I cry and cry and cry to this song, every time I listen to it. Whether I'm the top one, my parents, relatives, and teachers never seem to be proud of me, or they are never satisfied with what I get. It is honestly so much pressure, but now that I am in 6th Grade, it so much more pressure. My classmates are starting to bloom, and I'm losing to them. My goal is to be the valedictorian to make them happy, but my academic rival is smart, and very nice. I don't know what to do, at least she is happy with the praises she gets. I'm honestly jealous of her because even is she loses, her parents are always proud of her. This is the most relatable song I have heard about my academics :
Hey, it's alright. I'm here. I'm like your situation too. My mom always praises my other friend and never me. I support you! Don't worry. Maybe she's just not the right puzzle piece for you. ❤
it´s the gen Z on a song
Not at all, this is for anxious top students and nothing else. Actually, I think most people of gen z do not take school seriously anymore so it's far for this song to be theirs. (I'm gen z)
As a genz who relates not really most of genz doesn't take school seriously and does the bare minimum
@@bianca.plana111 it's for the kids who cry if they don't get a high enough score and feel like they're going to have a panic attack when they have to show they're parents any of there tests that isn't top tier not just for the top students it's for the ones who are trying to hard they're on the brink of breaking down and just quitting
@@bianca.plana111 I don't know, I feel like anyone who struggles with depression, anxiety, stress, or peer pressure fits this song
No
This whole song describes me-
Both me irl and me online.
This song rlly hits different at 2am tho
1:00 fav part
My parents appreciate my hard work even though I fail in a test but for some reason Marina’s song’s motivate me 🧍🏻♀️
SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE STUDENTS WHO WORK HARDER THAT THE PERSON THAT TOPS BUT SOMEHOW DOESN'T GET GOOD MARKS..
this is the best song I've heard and maybe I can cry some times with this song I feel really bad because the person I trusted betrayed me..
As a student I'm crying on this song, my bestie (our class president) is what I'm thinking on this song when i heard it, why? Because her mom d!3d a day/week ago, i feel her, a lot. I also kinda depressed sometimes. Sometimes we ignore each other, And mostly sometimes im jealous because my bestie with my Other bestie is always each other,
I feel like I'm alone, but since my Other bestie (i have 3 bestie) always been with me, but sometimes me fight or ignore, mostly on Science, Back to the Class President, ofc we have a group chat (gc), she typed about her being a president, because our teacher always pick her. But for now she removed that message and i comforted her, so now it's alright! :)
I feel bad for u cuz i killed many peoples in the past but police caught me but they sent me to the hospital for therephy and fix me cuz im abused but this song made me show emotions for the first time so pls dont say that you are sad always be happy (exept me im not stable to go out of the hospital)and suceed if u try
@@faxiyooly4338wow
Finally a song I can actually relate to.
I wouldn’t Say I’m the class topper, but I’m at least in the top 5. I work hard to achieve success, but tbh, my main motivation is to please my mother. She always get’s upset when I don’t get the best grade or when someone else get’s a better grade than me. My mum is already having a pretty hard life and I really don’t Want to stress her out more, so I do the best I can to make her happy. People always ask me Why I’m always so upset when I don’t get the best grade and they never seem to understand when I try to explain this to them
As a person who has parents that don't really care for grades unless I actually pass because they do care for me a lot but I have a few friends whom have higher academic grades than me and I'm happy for them but I just feel so compelled to get higher scores, I always had this pattern where I'd ace all of my finals one year and lose a few marks the next and I had broken that pattern this year as I was supposed to ace my finals but I didn't I lost maybe a few marks around some exams and some I didn't lose any in but I still felt so frustrated with myself that I couldn't get higher marks. Even if my mom and dad keep telling me "it's okay if you didn't get the full marks, we're still proud of you", I still feel like I should do it and get higher marks, I'm lucky to have parents like them but I don't know I just feel like I need to get higher marks and become a doctor or something with high pay so I can support them and let them live their dreams even if I really want to become something else. I kept telling myself that I could keep the other thing as a hobby or something to do in the weekends but I still want to do it full time, I just want everyone to be happy but I can't seem to do so, I'm the type of person who can't really comfort people when they're scared or sad, I just stand there uncomfortably, just feeling kind of useless while my body feels like it can't move. Maybe it's because of my relationship with my brother or maybe it's because this generation is messed up or maybe it's just how I am, my mom keeps telling me to get off of my phone but I can't seem to do so, it's just how I am I guess. But that's not the point, I just feel like I should make people happy or at least somewhat content even if it costs me my own happiness... I'm sorry you had to read all this and I hope you're taking it easy on yourself, please rest well and do what makes you happy.
i love this song its so relatable and nostalgic because my brother (Cody) he was always the "Golden Child" and my parents thought i was never good enough and thought he did everything better than i did when he put no effort into his studies. I never wanted to see they're faces again so by the time i turned 18 i moved out and i lived my own new life with nobody pressuring me to do everything better and with nobody comparing me to my brother and saying he's better than me. I know i still get compared to my brother a lot by my parents but i still love him. When i left we got separated but we were still in contact, i do miss him a lot but not my parents who gave no support and never fucking cared about me. I'll always love you bro 🥲
“High achiever don’t you see? Baby nothing comes for free. They say I’m a control freak driven by greed to succeed” it honestly relates to me a lot. I’m a control freak, I also am very greedy. I hate to admit it.
Idk if I have the right to relate to this since im an overachiever who’s lazy. Like I wanna be better but I also give up too easily when I feel like it gets really tough. I wanna succeed in life but I’m too scared to even take the risk of failure, that’s why I just do nothing at all.
+ My family’s okay with what scores/grades I get but I can see that they’re expecting something from me

I will work on me
for me
for my parents
and for the people that care for me
PLEASE REMIND ME TO STUDY
'Its my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die' this is the line that I really relate
Yes same
this song really talks about my life. Throughout my childhood, I lived in the shadow of my perfect sister, every achievement was an obligation for my parents, and I was afraid of failure. Because of this, I began to lie compulsively so that no one would point out that I was a failure.
Gives me middle school Midoria vibes ✨💚
Why does this song feel like a conversation between me and my more successful older sister
I might be late but I love this!!
Score is everything for my family😢❤

I relate to this song so much it's crazy.
There was a tiktoker who posted a video that used this song and it really hits me, so I find this song and listen when I felt like quitting. I want to use this to motivate my self and be a high achiever someday so I can be proud of myself.
That song acually made me cry since my parents wer always unsatisfied with my academic achievements, i've always been in 2nd place but they wanted me to be 1st, and there was that one girl that studied with me every year since primary and she was the class topper, my parents used to compare me to her but didn't provide me even half what she had AND she actually was just smarter and i wasn't so when we became in high school i started to cheat so i can get the 1st place at least once, unfortunately the once who are known for cheating in tests weren't good friends to be with, i started hanging out with them more often and my degrees actually started to get lower and lower till i became the type of students that just keep wishing to pass the tests
"Its my problem if i have no friends and feel like i want to die" is so me in grade 5
What grade now?
I always start crying when I hear this song, I just have a connection to it
i used to be a perfectionist out of fear of being abandoned, and the pressure and unachievable standards that mindset brings to you the stress i quickly came to realize that mindset wasn't doing me any good and i'm happy to have moved away from that mindset.
‘ it’s my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die’
I felt that
1:00 to 1:26 is my favorite part
I can relate to this song
I listen to this song to motive me to not give up and to get the best score I can . I know I won’t ever be a 100% student but at least I try and my parents support me with that. Honestly, it’s already surprising I got to where I’m at now .
We getting peer pressure with this one 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
As someone who used to be the perfect golden, smart child that made my parents proud, only for it to be stolen by my brother and started becoming the problematic child that my parents dislike, I can relate to this song sm
As an average student i always wanted to stand out in class and i can really relate with the line " are u satisfied with an average life"? I have admission exams in 16months and im trying alot to better myself but turns out im always the ordinary student the not so bad and not the brightest one but the middle one alwaysss , this song is always my fvrt
I am known as “Smart” at my school. Sometimes I put way to much pressure on myself and Every time when I don’t do good on something so small like an assignment, I feel like an absolute failure. As time goes on though, I made more friends and I stopped putting so much pressure on myself and i don’t feel as horrible when I don’t do good.
This hits different when after 5 years they still aren’t satisfied
1:00
I've always craved my parents validation. I feel like if I don't meet there expectations I would be a burden. I built a well known mask for now. I'm now known as the "cheerful kid" but it's just a mask. No one would understand me. So I built a good mask. For 7 years I build that fake mask. I'm super clingy to my friends. Because I don't want to lose them. I've already lost my dad, my best friend and my cousin there were important to me. Thats why I have abandonedment issues. I want to die but I have already achieved a lot and I don't want that to go to waste. This song embodies me. Everyone who feels this way too
This is one of my favorite songs as I have an average life. My parents want me to get all these high grades but I just cannot. All I was is to get all these good grades. My boyfriend always have all these good grades I want to ask him for help but I just cannot bring myself to do it.
hey there, "gifted student" here. ive always been good at math, and im currently taking a math class that is 3 grades ahead of where i should be. my social studies and science class are both a grade ahead as well. ive never been the best at ELA but no matter what i do kids make fun of me for not getting full marks in my ELA class despite me trying my hardest and doing so well and having other talents. thankfully i have great friends, but just know that you are not alone. if anybody tries to pressure you, just stop hanging around them
"Are you satisfied with an avarge life" fell just so personal
I've read some comments and i have to say, why don't parents realize we are still kids? we should not have to prove our worth threw academic validation. i understand not wanting a D or C but needing an A+ is a bit much, parents need to know that there high expatiations make kids feel unloved, a burden or/and lowers our self esteem. and they wonder why we are so tired, angry and depressed. I'm sorry for those who have to deal with this. You are not alone.
WHY ARE SAD SONGS SUCH A BOP
My own anthem ✨
Dude I'm 5 grades ahead in English 2 grades ahead in math and in mma,choir ect "beautiful" apparently and there is so much expected of me and I feel if I mess up anything I'll be in trouble or disappointed in
I can relate to this song because I want to have a high grade to make my mother happy and repay her kindness to me and also my grandma
Bro why is this songs so relatable ;-;
At this point I used to be the top student but my parents never used to be satisfied with my achievements and they always used to pressure me.They pressured me so much that I stressed and because of panic and all my grades started to fall but I am still trying to bring them up back. I am also the eldest in the family so everything should be done and managed by me I have never got to live my life to the fullest and have never done anything that most teenagers do at their age.I should be studying all the time but thank God I started to play volleyball cuz it helped me to set my mind on something instead of studying all the time.
this song is my life like fr-

This is so relatable
being perfect in academics *and* anything you do is hard.
the constant fear of disappointing out peers, the overwhelming feeling of failure.
it never stops.
my academic rival gets lower marks than me, yet his parents praise him for 3rd place and 2nd. my parents would scold me for getting lower than 1st. that's why i don't. i've learnt to get the top score every single time. i have never missed any competition. i do all extra curriculums possible for me.
my younger sibling gets praised for coming last, even though he gets all the help from my parents. i have adapted. i work on my own, i don't need anyone. i have no friends in fear my parents will be disappointed in me for my choices. you could say i'm lonely. i just say im a higher level than anyone else.
no one stops me from getting first. *no one* . people say it's greed. i call it high achieving.
I always listen to this song whenever i need that academic energy even my parents don't pressure me and i'm thankful for that but the biggest thing that I know is that I always pressure myself to be the best and I'm really not satisfied with an average life. I want more , I want to dream more and make all that dreams come true. I want that success where I can take my family to 5 star restaurant where we can travel everywhere we want, I want that life so bad. And in that I hope I will be truly satisfied.
1:00 this song is the gifted and unbothered person that never worked before and who attends now a private school where it's way different lol...
I am very passionate about art. I wish to one day learn how to draw but my parents arent really into that idea.. i am always compared to my older siblings “oh your sister is so much prettier than you” or “you’ll fail because your sister got low grades so you’ll get lower” just because my sister used to skip classes and didnt know how to learn from her own mistakes for her to throw her worries at me for her to feel better about it? I’ll never listen to her advices because i know how to fix my own problems and i am not her. Nor am i my mother. And i am not the son my mom always wished for her to push her ideals in me because my other siblings rejected it. Sure i’ll push myself for to satisfy my parents but i wont push myself so hard that my parents would push their ideals too much into me. I am tired. I am frustrated. I am angry. But i cant express that because it’d be my fault for feeling like that, not because my siblings like to be “silly” and miss with me. Ever since i was a kid my siblings would always throw their problems at me. I just cant wait to leave this house and find my way to live alone more quiet life.
You know this is actually a very good song because it's her and she's being her
