I saw an old friend today and I told her i was finding my course hard and?

she said you always do but you pass anyway she said i had achieved alot and that it was as if sometimes I was trying to prove something to myself. in a way it is cos i had a stepdad who always put me down all the time and told me I was stupid and things. I had no confidance when i was young to do things and when i passed my first exam i was proud it was like i was saying no i am not stupid after all, the bullying and being put down was terrible do you think i am wrong to do this in a way,

Answer:
i have dsylexia and i was always told when younger that i was thick and stupid by teachers etc. i knew i had the potential so when it was my choice i went onto college and passed my A levels in maths english it psychology, sociology and biology. so i now have three ologies lol
you will have to believe in yourself to help you through. the exams and courses are hard- just imagine the feeling when you finally pass them and you can stick two fingers up at the world and say YES I did that -it was me
are you happy with your life now and your achievements? If so, then no I don't think what you are doing is wrong. But, if you are just making yourself unhappy because you are pushing yourself too hard, then maybe you should back off a little bit.
no i think everytime you succeed the feeling is much sweeter knowing that u can do it despite what he said to you. You just proving someone wrong. I think you should give yourself a pat on the back for doing so well, and be proud of yourself you are intelligent.

also i think u should be kinder to yourself, tell yourself you can do it. and you aren't stupid, listen your friend. I think your friend has hit the nail on the head for you.
Darling, take it for face value...she said you have acheived a lot! So be gracious and accept the compliment.

You are diving wayy to deep into thoughts about why and how you are doing what you're doing.
I am so sorry that you were abused in this way by your step dad. This is really bad and you are already showing the effects of what his constant belittling had on your life. You need to understand that you are not like that and just try to forget about the insults. You are wrong in thinking that you can't achieve. Why don't you prove your step dad wrong? I think, if you can't do it for yourself then at least try to take pleasure in proving your stepdad wrong.
