Been going to a life coach type person for a few sessions regarding difficulties I'm having with masters exams. The coach is really good and I like him. For context I am pretty academic, have received top results throughout school and university.
We were talking about the exams and my passing them. In all honesty I'm predicted a good mark and have been achieving good marks. But always go on about my worries re taking them and I think they've misinterpreted it slightly, they think I'm struggling to pass. They made a comment, obviously meant positively today about how "some people are naturally clever, some have to work hard". I obviously fall in the latter group according to them.
I know I shouldn't care about one person's opinion and equally shouldn't place so much weight on it but feel a bit hurt. Want to childishly confirm to them I am naturally clever too! Ironically I rode on the back of this for years; didn't really study but still did well. Now I'm struggling because I actually need to study to do well...
