I probably shouldn't complain about med school, but here I am. I'm just wondering if any other med students out there honestly just aren't big fans of the med school social scene? I feel like we're supposed to see med school classes as these big, extended families, but I generally feel the opposite. My class is mega cliquish, and a huge chunk of folks I encounter seem like they just graduated from 3rd grade. Sure, they're book smart and can memorize factoids like no one's business, but it really feels like I'm swimming in a sea of overgrown sociopathic children sometimes. Emotional intelligence, empathy and interest in things not medical school related are rare sightings these days. Sometimes I just look around and feel this profound sense of disconnect from like 90% of my class. There are definitely good people around, but whenever I'm on campus it just feels like I'm surrounded by a lot of raging narcissists and high school antics. Ok, enough. Anyway, if anyone else feels this way sometimes let me know. I'd love to know that I'm not alone in feeling this way.
