Why do top students refuse to be acknowledged?

[Gloamglozer]

I've found that if I repeat it enough people just sort of learn not to bother wasting their time asking me

Yep.  Totally agreed.

Most of my pre-exams convos go something like this.

Person A: We're fucked!
Person B: No shit.


I dont really see why you would hide your results though especially from your friends. I know there must be a legitimate reason and every situation is different (you could genuinely have done really shit).
Some of my classes have a 'dont ask' policy where the teacher says we cant ask what anyone else got directly. Thats my first instinct though. I mean, 95% is great if everyone else got 65% but if everyone got 100% then its shite. Its all relative, I need some context!

I am repulsed by interactions like that, that is just mutual discouragement. I don't remember what my pre-exam interactions were like, but they weren't like that =/

Quantum: Again, I have been blind to other perceptions of my behaviour such as "people are not good enough to hear the truth." For me it's just a habit.

Wow. Strong language - "repulsed". If you are repulsed by this sort of thing then you take life way too seriously.
On the other hand maybe you just dont understand the context (how could you if you werent there?) that it was/would be said in.

i think that convo is more a joke than anything

Yeah. Its not two kids getting down on each other and mutually masturbating over a large pool of self-pity, its the sort of thing you'd say as you walked past a classmate prior to the exam or whispered to them on the way in.

0.o I tend to say "You ready for the exam, ____?"

Thats totally weird

[kyzoo]

haha your way is totally weird to me ^^

[Cataclysmic]

I like this way.

Even when you talk to people you know are aiming high/will do well, I find that something along those lines are more common. Or something like, "you ready to fail?", or like a sarcastic "i'm gonna get 100%, no worries ;P"

[*ryan777*]

yeah, that happens a lot among my friends
its such a sign of confidence to be sarcastic moments before an exam

[amirite?]

"Are you ready for the exam?" is something you'd say to someone you dont know very well.

Not really, my friends say it to me too. We live in different realities =)

I'd compare the two but i'd probably get banned.
