This might seem like a r/Iamverysmart post. But let me start by saying that I'm one of the bright students in our class. And I intentionally show off my marks to my school mates for attention.


I'm 17, male. I don't have any friends. I'm extremely shy and introverted so it's actually my fault for being alone, I don't blame anyone else. I go to school, sit in my seat till the class ends and get out as soon as I can.

I'm not good at anything which might attract others. I can't play sports because I have some medical problems, I'm not good at any arts or any skill. I spend my day in my room studying/watching football (soccer if you are an American)/playing football simulation games/browsing Reddit. I suck at everything.

The only good thing, or the "so called" good thing about me is that I'm very good at studies. I get very good marks in exam. I'm not even intelligent, I just have a great memory (the only thing I can brag about) so I can remember stuffs pretty quick and for a long time. Then I puke the information on the paper and get good marks.

I wait the whole year for the time of the result. After the result I try to bring up conversations about it as much as I can. It's not like I go to people and say "oh hey look, I got X% in this and Y% in that!" It's not like that. I'll try to bring up conversations about the subject, and the someone might ask me about my percentage and I'll tell them like it's not a big deal.

I do it for attention, nothing else. I'm totally aware of the broken education system and I know that some percentage doesn't show our true potential. But this is the only time people appreciate me, give me attention and don't ignore me like I don't exist. I seek validation, I don't know if it's normal or not but I like when people tell me that I'm good at something and this is the only time it happens.


Now go ahead Reddit! Use your moral Philosophy on this poor soul!
