Hello everyone! Is it okay to open up about my feelings here?
I'm a student. In my state, most students are generally good people, and the teachers are good too, although this isn't true of every single person.
I've chosen to focus on my studies, and I've done reasonably well at it. Over the past few months, my grades have been really excellent. However, unlike most of my peers, I haven't gotten involved in romantic relationships or other distractions (going to the gym, having a boyfriend or girlfriend, various other hobbies, or anything else unrelated to studying).
I'm struggling to deal with the people around me. Some of them aren't doing well academically, but they go to the gym and have fit, strong bodies. Others aren't particularly interested in studying, yet they still attend school and have jobs on the side.
But I don't have any of those qualities outside of academics. When they show off their athletic physiques or brag about other things, I don't know how to react. I can't afford to cut back on my studies just to make time for exercise and other activities.
What advice would you give me?
And what religious or spiritual advice would you offer me?
