I used to want to be like Rory, but now, I'm glad that I'm nothing like her. She acted so entitled and spoilt, having been adored by almost everyone in her small town, and it wasn't until she got to Yale that she realised that everyone there was just as gifted as she was.

I feel like black swan is also a good example of this. She had paid the cost of perfection.

I would love a video on rebecca bunch from crazy ex-girlfriend. She's just such a nuanced character and I feel like the show does such a wonderful job of examining her mental health.

My parents showed me love one day every month: when the report card came in. That and other things were terribly scarring, and led to emotional breakdowns, depression and burn out, which is not as easily treatable as one might think, as well as physical illness. I'm just now trying to learn how to stay behind after realizing I've been through a lifetime of killing myself

I loved Paris in Gilmore Girls. I can definitely relate to her situation, minus the Ivy League part. Academics were the only place I ever felt sure of myself - I definitely wasn't "cool" and didn't have luck with boys back then, plus my home life was not good. As an adult, I'm having to confront my perfectionism as I know it can sometimes sabotage me, but letting go is so hard.

I used to be an overachiever in high school, until I got to college and was knocked down a few pegs by life and my newly discovered learning disabilities. Now, I do the best I can but at my own pace.

Blair Waldorf is an overachiever but she blackmails and schemes . She canāt be nice . She always has to fight back

Im sorry, but I just cannot with Rachel.
Not only did she put other people down, she never seemed to be humble in a way. When she failed that audition, instead of just taking a seat back and being humble, she made it everyone's problem and interfered with their goals (Mercedes in the play, winning the election over Kurt, made Tina feel so bad that the girl got brainwashed to help her get another audition) to the point that there is a reason people wanted to see her fail. Not to mention sending a person to a crackhouse! She offered nothing to the glee club and was just a leeched that kept sucking and sucking till everyone just accepted it and honestly, it was sad

perfectionism can be a result of abuse. i didn't realize but i got so stressed when i had to do stuff that would be graded even daily homework. it doesn't mean we are perfect but that we try to be so we don't get screamed at or beaten. Thanks to therapy i can find joy in simple daily things such as baking and cooking instead of constant anxiety. (think Monica from Friends, but most relatable to me is the Bear protagonist ngl)

Itās interesting that the female overachiever is almost always in institutional settings(school, government) whereas the males are seen as scrappier - redefining their settings around them

Overachiever can be a trait if atypical. As someone with ADHD I had to put a lot of work, including coming into school earlier to meet one on one with the SPED teacher, sitting up front to pay attention better all to get average grades. It's common for Neurodiverse people to put twice as much effort to survive.

I wish this was a more nuanced conversation (the take could benefit from multiple racial perspectives) The fact that there were all these examples of women but none of any Black and Brown women. I wonder about Asian women overachievers and the model minority trope, Black overachievers and the Black Tax and subverting racial stereotypes, and so on.

Being queer and an overachiever is rarely explored in the media.

I unapologetically love Rachel Berry. To appreciate her character, you need to understand what Glee was: not a comedy, not a drama, or even a musical; Glee was a fantasy, a fever dream, and each character represented an idea. Rachel was the idea that pure, unadulterated talent was enough to take you to the top. She lied, cheated, fucked up and still made it to the Tony stage because her talent was that big. Thatās a hilarious, ridiculous, yet genius idea brought perfectly to life by Lea Michele.

I think the reason characters like Leslie were liked while Rachel Berry were hated is because of the empathy levels difference is so abysmal. Leslie wanted to overachieve with the purpose of making the world better for those in it, while Rachel was willing to sacrifice anyone and anything if it mean she was getting the chance to be on top with the perpetual spotlight on herself.
Motivation can be the defining factor between being a lovable character or a hated one. Because if you're doing it for something that others see as a worthy cause then the crazy is understood and becomes relatable, but if your motivation stinks as bad as your attitude then you're not worth redeeming. Like Damon in vampire diaries said "if youre gonna be bad? Be bad with purpose, otherwise you're not worth forgivingš¤·š»āāļø"

Kinda reminds me of my mum, she's a an overachiever in both her work and personal life, and due to my Dyspraxia no matter how much effort I put in, what I do will always be imperfect. And quite often she has to be reminded that that is not the worst thing on the planet.

As a former overachiever, this video hits home.

Female overachievers are often branded as "difficult" women - if you want to learn more about how that trope evolved on screen, check out our video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAJFHOXBxA0
