[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is with this “striver” business and why do people seem to think it is bad? [/quote] Also, I agree with the above! I really think it’s a culture difference, like public vs. private school. I initially wrote this overly-long post describing my values and experiences and confusion as to why I should be sneered at as a “striver,” but then I realized that those who don’t have similar feelings as I do about complacency (read: this has nothing to do with class or income or privilege) just aren’t going to get it. It sucks though when people who don’t get it label you as “competitive” when you’re trying to celebrate each other’s successes and share information in a way that you would find helpful or interesting yourself. Like if I was really so competitive, I would just keep everything to myself so I have an edge? What happened to “it takes a village”?[/quote]
