My college had a great education program, but most of my class were a bunch of immature kids too focused on anything but their career. They did get good grades, but the depth of their personality was skin deep and most came from privileged families and they acted like that. The other students who were mature/non-privileged were a minority. Some just kept their head down, and others just ignored any obnoxiousness.
My workplace is currently full of teammates who are getting hostile. I have done really well on my team and have a strong lead compared to my peers. The performance score that is desired is 8.2. I have a 9.6 and most of my colleagues have between 7.3 to 8.4.
At home, my immigrant parents live in a whole different world. In life, if I take 2 steps forwards, its going 3 steps back with them. I was motivated in life to do well to not be like them. To make the same mistakes as them. I had no problem with having the talent to accomplish that and I thought that would be enough. I thought i could reason with them and convince them with my success. But, life is like that meme where the guy is stabbing himself in the eye with a knife cause they can't fathom how stupidity. With them, i always get caught blindsided and they continuously introduce issues in my life that are pointless.
I am so sick of people and their drama, stupidity, and immaturity. Why is it so hard to find people who simply function like adults in a logical, mature, and fair way? I mean such a culture is preached in our society, but I keep running into people who are faking it and then you know their reality. Especially today with social media amplifying all these negatives.

Focus on task at hand. School and home. Considering you’re a mature student, the latest thing you want is to get wrapped up with young ripper snappers when your main focus in a degree for something better.
I graduated 2 years ago. I thought it would get better after but the workplace is still filled with immaturity. Some of my older colleagues are better. I just need to save enough to be able to move and/or get a better job. My parents aren't actively hostile. They are more passive. I just can't believe I got caught up with them of all people. I can't abandon them and want to help them and that is my biggest curse. It has drained me several times and I have built up resentment because of it.
