Nurses
Submissive people go into nursing. I wish they would say ignorant things, because at least then I'd have someone to argue with. Instead, when asked a simple question like "have you learned this before" and we obviously have, an eerie silence fills the room, so silent that you can hear the cold wind blowing on the top of the lecture hall, three stories above. So then I become the annoying girl who's always talking in class. What gives?

That sucks.
But keep being that person who always answers, it will only make you a Champion, if you aren't already.
And in the end, you are the only comparison, so if you stop talking, you should think why that is.
Never let them break you!
Thanks, I needed that. I just don't want to start thinking that most nurses are dumb, or that I'm somehow better than they are, because that can't be true. I'm definitely older, which probably has something to do with it.
There's a difference between people who take information at face value and people who go one step further to relate their knowledge to other concepts on a global level. I wish the latter were more common.
I don't know if this phenomena extends to other disciplines, but I think it does. I've met med students who are the same way, except they focus too much on achievement and numerical information. They talk too much, even when they don't know what they're talking about.
I know I can be too critical, my mother says it's my Virgo personality. We're our own worst critics. But can't that be said of everyone?
