[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a very low EQ and lack grit.

So for you, your mediocre life is the best you are going to get.

If your EQ was higher you would understand how to be happy with that.[/quote]

Except I don't lack grit. I've clawed my way up to a professional position that no one thought I'd be able to hack, and I've done well. Just not with other stuff.

How do i raise my EQ?[/quote]

What is the other stuff, specifically. If you aren't talking about work, I have no idea what you mean.[/quote]

For example, I started doing triathlons because it sounded fun and a bunch of friends do them. I'm just ok. Not bad, but ok. Not nearly as good as they are, and they think I should be happy with how I'm doing.[/quote]

But you just started, right?  And you're doing better than the vast majority of humans who couldn't even complete one at all, right?  And this is a leisure activity, meant to bring you fun, not pressure, right?

If I have this right, your friends are being honest and kind given the factors above and you are being more than a little bit oblivious and tone-deaf in your reaction.[/quote]
