There's enough space for two dentists in the world

My boyfriend was top 10% of his class in dental school and comes from a family of dentists. Iv seen a lot of behind the scenes when it comes to admissions on both ends (applying, being admitted, and what students do well and get selected).... I can genuinely say, grades aren’t EVERYTHING sand admissions officers are well aware of that. As long as you do your best with grades and focus on being well rounded, like volunteer opportunities, etc. you will stand out as a diverse candidate that can do well in school and in the community. That speaks more than someone who can just take tests really well. Don’t compare yourself. Focus on YOU. Focus on what makes YOU an amazing future dentist. So many of my bfs friends who were in the top 3% ended up with no jobs or specialty because they lacked in so many other vital areas.

I'm the As student and my friend was As and Bs in undergrad. She was more healthy and balanced and it has helped her in her career and life. I've realized I'm a perfectionist at times and have let it affect my mental health. Sure i got good grades but missed out on other opportunities and it's led to depression and things that hold me back. If you're working hard and learning the material don't compare yourself. Being well rounded and resilient is also very important

I can’t stop overthinking about my friend and her soon-to-be boyfriend , I feel like I’m jealous but not of HER, I’m jealous of HIM, like, I’ve known her for so much longer , me and her have always been closer, and this guy comes in and is gonna take up a bunch of her time. Idk, ik I shouldn’t feel this way. She reassured me she would never leave me and I guess I’m also scared of that. I had a breakup with our friend oldest bsf a couple months ago , I guess that might’ve done more damage than I thought. I feel like I’m losing myself , and then I thought I found myself again once me, my bsf , and the guy became friends , but as soon as I found oit she liked him and he liked her its like everything crashed:/// I hate feeling this way but idk what to do

Okay so, this is gonna be very detailed because it's a lot. I have a friend that going to be in China for an exchange program and that's obviously amazing! But...I got super jealous because my biggest dream is to live in an Asian country but as I always do when I feel jealousy instead of letting it consume me I tell the person I'm jealous of so that I can ensure it doesn't feel odd carrying around jealousy that they know nothing about if that makes sense. And so I tell him and he brushes it off, but the jealousy stays with me. I've also been having some harm OCD thoughts beforehand so the two thoughts merged and I thought of horrendous thoughts it's so scary cause these thoughts are not just intrusive, they have a meaning attached to them😭. Back in the day I'd get jealous and it would be just that...no harmful thoughts towards the other person but just because I've been in an OCD rut I have actually been unable to feel negative emotions anymore without them having to be tainted with harmful thoughts towards others or myself honestly like wth😭! I hate this! What do y'all do with intense jealousy??

im seeing everyone getting accepted by their colleges and im having a really hard time not comparing myself. I feel like my pure ocd has taken up my life and I wish my mind let me believe that I could work hard enough for these universities that I wanted to apply to. I feel so much embarrassment and shame in myself for having to stay in my hometown while everyone goes away to college. I can’t blame everything on my ocd, im still having a hard time accepting that I have it, I just wish I was better
