I hope this video kinda somehow makes sense. (& please watch it before commenting! I know it's a mad title haha). ✨ Of course, I value all the time and effort and everything that went into the grades I'm SUPER proud of, but having only ever achieved the "top", having gained that reputation of a 'high achiever' at school... it cultivated a perfectionistic mindset which can be so crippling. I tried to portray some of my honest experience in this video. Enjoy. ❤️ x
If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, school pressures or the weight of expectations, hi hello I feel you! 🌻 Genuinely, doing your BEST is the most anyone can ask of you. I wish I could give my past self the perspective I now have. Work hard, have your goals and dreams and grades to aim for, but don't feel tied to the expectations of others. Lots of love x

Idk man. It seems about even to me. Seeing as I am lazy af, imagining myself as a perfectionist already just feels so tiring. I personally do not do well under pressure and so I imagine I'd just crumble if I set my standards so high.

Try being a high achieving perfectionist who DIDN’T get A*’s. Crippling self deprecation and disappointment yay. Every time someone says they got an A* it kills me because I put in so much effort and didn’t get the results to reflect that. I know my results were good but they weren’t the best, and I will never forgive myself for that

Jade!!! I think this is my favourite video you’ve ever uploaded. It is just SO IMPORTANT and I can relate with what you said very much (as can so many people on this platform!). Obviously I didn’t get all A*s at A Level but what you said on the debilitating effect of perfectionism, and the continual pressure and fear surrounding the comparison of others to yourself is very much relatable. You articulated this *perfectly*. Thank you for sharing xxx

@shirayukibabii 5 лет назад

but it’s hard to maintain... i mean, when you start getting all A*s, you are pressured to always achieve that thing. Then you get disappointed when you got grades lower than expected. When I was in elementary school, I don’t really pressure myself even tho most of the people around me keeps on comparing my *lazy* behavior to their *successful* children. Then high school came (we don’t have middle school thingy). I started to try and achieve for something higher. It’s great because I can achieve my goals... however, the higher my achievements are, the higher my next goals will be aaaand the higher the pressure. so for me, i’d rather go back to my old state (if that’s what u call it) and don’t let anyone put so much burden to me... *in the end maybe it’s just me* thanks for reading if u reach this part...

@scottmurphy4278 3 года назад

People think getting A* ‘s sets them up for life, that they’ll have it easy for the rest of their life. It isn’t. I know someone who got A* in all their GCSEs and A-Levels, yet is unemployed.

Jade, you have no idea how relatable this video is to me. When you were talking about how those annoying people say: 'Oh my god, I got higher than the smartest girl' and feeling embarrassed in class when you answer a question incorrectly, I could relate and understand the struggle. I am a perfectionist and there is no doubt of it. I am very proud of my achievements, but sometimes getting one result which is lower that my expectations clouds all my past achievements and makes me question my abilities. Thank you for making this video and letting me know that I am NOT the only student who feels this way. x

@ravenclawstudies4943 5 лет назад

THIS!!! Thank you, just thank you so so much for sharing your thoughts (and experience) on perfectionsim. I already know that I'm going to watch this over and over again. Not because it is "perfect", but because it is real. I read some comments on this video and was stupidly suprised about how many people can relate to this. On some days I feel like everyone around me can handle things easily. That I may be the only person, not working hard enough. But we all work hard enough. Our happiness, effort, productivity, selflove, motivation. We as a human being are our own full-time job. Juggling all that and at the same time dealing with the struggles we face along with it, makes us more than "perfect". It makes us strong and understanding. I think we all should take a step back and be proud of ourselves once in a while. Appreciate the effort we put in things that we love and things that we don't. So again, thank you for inspiring me (and others). Thank you for being honest and most importantly thank you for being you. Lots of love, Sophia.

Christian Burgess I don’t think they were trying to saying it’s worse off.

Good students have it just as hard (especially if they don’t understand everything at first) to get the top grades every time.

@stevencheshire3523 5 лет назад

I think we can often forget that our lives are very much a personal journey and so we often compare ourselves to other people rather than to our own previous achievements. It is key to remember that life is not just about competing with other people but about bettering ourselves and so if someone beats you in a test and everyone starts talking about how someone has beaten you, it is important to stay grounded and remember it is not all about what other people get. Jade, your video points that out very well so thank you for giving us the reminder that I'm sure many of us need. We are all on a personal journey and sometimes that 'you have to do better than other people mentality' can hinder us and our personal development. Once again thank you Jade for reminding us all!

this!! video!! omg!!! preach the truth sister you are so right about "invisible standards", that those standards are placed there by you and not anybody else. I realized this after I was accepted into university, my parents were proud, my teachers approved, and yet I STILL felt like I couldn't get any less than an A. It was never about any practical thing like "I need these grades for university." It was always about seeming good enough for myself, and those invisible standards that I'd built up for myself. Those standards never stayed the same, either- once I had all 90s in my classes I would begin thinking they needed to be 95s. You're chasing an unattainable goal because you will never reach true perfectionism. Thank you for making this haha I'll get off my soapbox, I just have so many feelings about this-

I relate so hard! Unfortunately I cracked under the pressure for my exams and ended up getting decent grades, although not what I wanted. It was so awful. I spent the weeks going up to results days having reoccurring nightmares about failing. I ended up getting SO stressed that I ended up having health problems and it was ridiculous. The “what did you get?” question is so annoying sometimes, I had amazing friends who also got great grades (through so much hard work), which led to me always feeling like I wasn’t doing enough etc. I’m also taking time away from education and I’ve realised this lesson too. Thank you for being so honest about all of this, it’s really a mindset I find hard to break! :)

Because, like you, I’m always waiting for the perfect conditions until I can start something or hand something in. For example, I remember last year I took my geography end of topic test home and never handed it in because I was so afraid of not getting the highest, as I am known as the master of geography and earth sciences. Which although i knew was counter productive, maintaining the reputation of knowing everything geography related (and I don’t know everything anyway!) took over. Thank you.

The fact that I´ 'm terrified of failure doesn't help at all, and it´s so scary to feel all of those invisible standards and expectations, like you are not ever allowed to make a mistake. And I get it when you talked about people saying "I´ve got a higher grade than a studytuber?!", since when some people get a higher grade than me make that statement, like it´s getting a higher grade than me that is amazing, not their grade itself.

This is such an honest and lovely video. Hard work pays off, but it means that when you’re achieving highly, falling short of that becomes really difficult to deal with. x

Yay! Love double uploads! You have inspired me to go for head prefect at my school and have been reading the applications from other students today. I’m thinking of doing my speech on the inspiration the studytube community have had on me. (If I do would I be able to ask you a couple of questions about it?) ❤️

Hi from Germany! This video was just what I needed because I am such a perfectionist too. I am super hard on myself when I get a grade that I didn‘t anticipate. But you inspire me to work on my mindset. Thank you for this. I just discovered your channel a little while ago but you‘re already one of my favorite RU-vidrs!

@amelia6337 5 лет назад

i love you so much jade. this video is so beautiful and highly inspiring! perfectionism is something I struggle with a lot of the time but hearing you talk about it has made it easier for me to think about it and work on accepting it even if its only for like 5 minutes. also you look amazing!!!!!!!! the australia sun really has kissed u! have a wonderful day lovely xxx

Hi Jade nice to see you're back missed ur videos xx ly

@jessicacaitlynn6941 5 лет назад

I totally agree with what you said because in my classes if anyone gets a mark higher than me it is rubbed in my face which makes me feel like i let myself down even though it was just that it took me more time to understand. Thank you sm for the video as it puts how i feel into words and it was a great video ❤️

This is such an incredibly honest video that's on a topic that should be addressed more! Well done for making this video Jade you're always inspiring me to create content that is as honest and as helpful as yours THANK YOU!

@OfficialKorSide 5 лет назад

I TOTALLY get the thing you said about not understanding things in class hahaha. When I don’t understand something and other people do I feel so embarrassed. Glad someone else feels the same way x

I got 12 A*s at GCSE and 4 As at AS (taking A Levels in summer) and I do kind of relate to this- everyone expects you to do the best, but they don’t expect you to need any time to learn and revise in order to do so! I feel like people assume you just naturally get top grades with no real effort, which is frustrating because (at least for me) it requires a huge amount of organisation and hard work over a long period of time. Biggest piece of advice would be to try and stop taking yourself so seriously and appreciate academic failure as something you can always learn from. Get motivated by “bad” results to find out exactly where you went wrong and how to not do it again (and learn to laugh at a horrendous score)! It’s hard when you’ve put a lot of effort into something but trying to remember that in the big picture it doesn’t actually matter is much better for your mental wellbeing.

I wish I was like you Jade, I’m not really that academic but I always try my best, I never get the grade I want to and my biggest fear is probably failure

@inactive6123 5 лет назад

i especially hate this: student: "i think im not doing the best ever, but im getting by" teacher: "you cant just "get by" you always have to try your best" i know they're trying to "motivate" you to do better, but (atleast in my case) it really doesn't, it makes me hate the teacher, the subject and school in general more

@no-kr4fm 5 лет назад

it always lights up my day to see a notification about a new video from you and this one was too relatable for words

@margauxrierson6042 5 лет назад

This must have been a relief to put out, finally letting go and realising that perfection isn't how you should live your live. Taking advice from this video I will definitely try myself to live in the NOW. Thank you for making me feel human ❤️

@palistha5159 5 лет назад

I have exams right now and this really makes me happy cause i do base myself on my grades and i do feel immense pressure but now i think i know that it is whatever it is and i shouldn't put so much pressure on myself to achieve the perfect grade lr gpa.Thank you jade for the reminder 💗

@annabyford8846 5 лет назад

this is so relatable! i have just started my first year of a levels and i know that i am already falling into the trap of obsession with my grades. i got mostly a and a* at gcse but they weren't all top grades, so i have this idea in my head that to get into the uni i want and to do well in life i need all a*s at a level - which is ridiculous! why can't i just be happy with a b or c every now and then?! it's exhausting. this was so helpful jade, thank god i'm not the only one who feels this way. thank you!
