I used to be a very social person, but it seems like since med school started (or a few weeks after it started) I began to feel very antisocial. I know this is normal to feel like this compared to the outside world, but even with my own classmates. Tonight, for instance, many of them are out at a party I was invited to, yet I decided I'd rather stay in and get caught up on studying.
Part of it, I think, is my drive to really do as well as possible in school (obviously). I pay a lot of money for my tuition and I come from a fairly poor background, and have this constant feeling of needing to make med school my number one priority (which it is) in order to ensure I will be successful post-graduation, but sometimes at the expense of harmless fun.
Anyone else feel this way?
