The Odd One Out
What this person is trying to say is that topping a class is a lonely feat, and they feel the pressure of being the only one who got the brains for it. We are scratching our heads as well. Shouldn’t the response be that of gratitude and humbling? Apparently, in this case, we might need to pat the backs of this unique individual for their different approach to success.
We’re thinking about the scenario in which this person is the sole failed student in their class. We would very much like to know how they would feel then. Is the loneliness of failure similar to that of success? These must be the questions philosophers think about.
