#negative#as always twitter has brought me more confusion. there was like a comic abt being called a gifted kid. and w/e#and like yeah w/e it destroyed most if not any chance i ever had at properly learning to do things myself (i still dont know how to study)#but like. all the replies to it are ‘oh im the oldest so my family expected me to be the smart gifted child’ like what.#is that a thing. is that the norm for families. if so why not My family. i’d love that.#i thought pressuring the younger kids was normal bc theyre younger & we glorify youth as a society for some reason.#like where r these supposed oldest siblings carrying the weight of their families expectations on their shoulders. i would like 2 meet them.#maybe its just bc 90% of my friends are youngest children in their families or smth. but even the oldest siblings i have are like 😗🤙 abt it#or their families equally pressure both of them so it doesnt matter bc theyre all getting crushed equally#i know a youngest child whos parents got mad at her for only getting 20 points higher than her older sibling on her sat.#when she is two years younger than him and took it a year before the age youre supposed to. like. its the youngest isnt it????????#i know every families different but im talkin abt general expectation. like even in my blended family me & my younger step brother#(by younger i mean hes the younger of my two step brothers hes still older than me) carry the weight of all this families expectations#on our tiny depressed shoulders like huh. what the fuck is up twitter.#like. we’re both getting crushed in hyper specific yet different ways so we cant even share the burden like Whats the Point then#both our older siblings got told ‘haha! good luck getting into college! we’ll always support you!’ meanwhile we got ‘👁👁’#i thought my bro fucking got around it. thought he pranked our parents out. thought he got them. bc hes going to community college (legend)#but nope. now theyre like ‘and then u can transfer into an EVEN better uc 😌❤️’ like whomst r u.#think he might pull for not even finishing his education though (legend) and go straight into a career if he can though#bc he has the skill to (we’re getting pressured for a Reason u kno?) and if he does that will have been the Long con he has been pushing for#and i salute him. but im already in uni so theres no going back for me dhfjsj like Pwease. we both love what we’re doing rn but like hhhhh#i didnt even realize it until my step dad literally said it to us one day during dinner and i was like ‘oh so many things make sense now hm’#welp! time to go back to being slowly crushed by the world around me in a week 😌❤️ yay school!#also im thinkin abt it and my friend was three years younger and got in trouble for only getting a 1490 as a SOPHOMORE like WHAT#v.txt
