Inferiority Complex with Girlfriend?!
Question: Hi,
My girlfriend and I have been going out for a few months and are in uni. I like her a lot, but I have a significant inferiority complex.
She and I are maybe same on the social level, but she has me beat by a mile academically. I've been brought up in a household where academics is stressed a great deal, but unfortunately I've never been to achieve the level I desire.
But the problem is while I'm struggling with school subjects, I see my gf getting near perfect marks without a problem. I'm happy for her, don't you doubt it, but every time I see her do so incredibly well, I cant help but feel like more of a retard.
The level between her and me is not really comparable, she was like in top 5 of high school and I was ~80. As the list goes on.
The problem every time I see her I feel so disgusted with myself, I feel so much hate for myself. I know I would still be miserable even if I didn't know her, but I guess it's become worse now. I really have no idea on how to deal w/ this.

if it is such a problem work harder, or learn to except certain facts-she is smarter.

i agree with the above answer. you need to work harder. first, you should never let yourself be bested by a girl - especially in math and science (if she wants better grades in home economics, let her have them). if you can't beat her, the you need to face the facts: you're a loser.
ZZZZZZZZ But you still managed to write a ******* essay! GET OVER IT or find someone thick.
Dump her or study more
Speak to her about it or if she's contributing to this feeling, put her straight
