Just venting, but I have not yet made a friend in my first week of law school. The competitive environment makes everyone so guarded, so convos by nature are all shallow, but it’s also dangerous for you to open up. It feels so lonely and fake.

This is why I dropped out after my first year. It’s extremely isolating and feels like everyone is on a mission to make you look and feel stupid. It definitely didn’t help with the fact that the curve was competitive, so getting help studying from classmates was completely out of the question :/

This law school curve is the worst thing to exist. It’s also changed the way I am now thinking about my classmates, and I hate that, because that’s not who I am.

Omg it kinda is like that. You tell a bunch of normally straight-A gifted kids that only a few of them will be allowed to get an A, and it turns them into something else.

I so get that. Many told me the same. I’ve found a study group, but I think they just added me because I “ask good questions in class”, so it feels utilitarian. I never found myself in a position where I subconsciously began trying to make myself smaller to draw less attention. I love law and I want to be a good lawyer, law school is just part of the journey to get there. I just hope I can find at least one genuine person and that I don’t lose myself to the competitive law school nature.
