I feel like everything is pointless. No matter how hard I try it is never enough. I've worked so hard to try and keep myself for feeling that I have to be perfect all the time, and now everyone else wants me to be perfect all the time. It's like I can't win. It all just feels so pointless.

 no one is ever perfect. i used to try to please everyone that put expectations on me. i have learned to not insist to myself that i be all things for all people. i put too high of expectations on myself too. i learned i was expecting of myself things that one can never achieve...perfection. be kinder to yourself and love yourself just as u are.this perfection thing is a learned behavior you can slowly change. if i did it you can too!

(((googley))) I am sorry that everyone is being so tough on you. That sounds unfair. Do your best and ignore those that demand more than that. Know that you have a support of everyone here at PC.

 You are paying the professors to elevate you to mastery of a field of knowledge. This punishment model of education is absurd. A faculty that tolerates or, worse, encourages such instruction reflects discredit on the university.I don't how much energy depression has left you, Googley. I hope you've sufficient psychic reserves to launch an offensive of your own. If you're an unhappy consumer of academic services, complain to the higher-ups, and make sure Public/Alumni Relations knows, too. At the very least, you can warn your peers: Rate My Professors
