I wonder how much of Alphinaud's ARR attitude not only comes from the teenage "I know better" mindset, but also from him seemingly not having any actual friends growing up. He certainly seemed to *impress* people, but did he ever befriend anyone? No one talks about him having any kind of proper camaraderie back at the Studium...
im like, nearly certain you’re right. almost everything about his upbringing would lead to having no friends, and nothing that we know about vis a vis the twins as kids points to them having friends that aren’t adults? alisaie mentions shes happy hes hanging out with arenvald bc that Never happened before and ALSO she mentions not bringing anyone over to hang out. n despite alphy having people over they were all like... this 13 year old invites you a college student to his estate how are you. like look the twins are rich and go to private schools around their house. setup one. everyone mentioned to come over and hang out in the short stories or their memory is like, krile. urianger. grandpa's friends. theyre close with much older people. theyre INCREDIBLY smart as kids, and jump at least four grades. also, kids aren't often that fond of their-age kids who are way smarter, especially if they KNOW they're smarter than everyone. they absolutely thought they were better bc of it. they know better because they're smarter. 11 year olds in college are very cute, very impressive, but their brains literally haven't grown in yet so they cant be like, friends. they can be cool and rich and smart (whoa a 14 year old with a subversive understanding of politics!) but not friends. YKNOW? they were totally friendless kids who thought they were above most people if not just their age group. and they did not care at the time at ALL ghsdk

Ngl I feel wrecked today. Getting a low score on that pchem exam decked me more than expected and my mental health hit rock bottom today (good news I guess? It can't get any worse now). I've cried a lot - so much I feel ill - and it seems to me like I really can't do this anymore, but it's just a feeling. Because the truth is, I have to do it anyway. I have to get myself together because I have to study because I have to pass my finals because I have to get this goddamn degree, even if it means becoming world's most mediocre chemist.
This doesn't make the whole thing less painful. I still feel like I'm a disappointment to everybody who believes in me. But I know I can't keep sulking forever. I feel like garbage but I gotta keep going - it's what I always do.
