Hey, I'm Alan.
This sorta ties in with other topics but I feel this fits this thread the best.
I'm asian and I have naturally gravitated towards other asians in my school though I'm open to other races. Being an asian comes with its whole host of problems such as meeting your families expectations, but this is not what I want to talk about.
I have always felt inferior to my friends in terms of intelligence. They are all top 50 in my class of 800 and have gotten into great colleges. I have always felt that I must prove to them that I am able to keep up with them. ex. debates, chess, other strategy games, random information. As a result I have many hobbys that require using your brain. I'm starting to feel distant from them and I realize that friendship should not be based on proving yourself to other people. Although this type of friendship is more productive than other types. What should I do?
Thanks for your time and help.
