Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?

" Basically, I believe that if I’m not the best at something, I’m not good enough. If I can’t become the best, then I’m just wasting time. I know that this mindset isn’t necessarily true, but it’s always my first instinct."
Well she's the best at wise words, I'll give her that.
