i get a lot of family friends or neighbours saying “you’re so impressive” and i get similar things from other people when i tell them what i’m doing and idk how to be like “nah it’s nothing” bc they always think i’m being humble or something but i just genuinely cannot conceive of the compliments they’re giving me. my essay was just nominated for an award and i appreciate that people like my work but that’s it

#this is not me bragging or being like ‘look at me im so cool but so humble’ i just genuinely cannot feel like it’s anything else than a #‘yeah i did well’ kinda thing. but not in the way people are making it out to be. like yeah this means it’s a good essay ig but that’s it #people talk about me and I’ll get my mums friends going ‘your mum told me you’re doing [xyz]. thats incredible’ and idk how to be like #it’s just what im doing. its no more special than anything else really #I don’t want people to expect some sort of genius when i walk into a room because i’m not. i don’t even know what i’m doing #i get worried people are gonna expect someone and then a 5’2 brunette with glasses is gonna walk in and be completely average as well as #painfully awkward. im worried people will think im some sort of highly achieved savant or some shit and im not #idk. it’s just been a week. im excited my essay is nominated but more because it’s a good essay and i like the acknowledgement #not because it’s Oh My Goodness Your Essay Is The Best And So Impressive And You Should Be So Proud #vent tw #kinda
