Classmates who advertise the fact that they are studying all over facebook, gchat, etc. Could you be any more insecure / attention starved?

Better than the people who staunchly deny studying at all, but actually do it for 16 hrs/day behind closed doors. We call them gunners.

I think the worst are the self-proclaimed gunners. They aren't.

Gunners are people who throw others under the bus to advance themselves, not people who lie about how much they study.

Uhh...yes. I'm pretty sure announcing to everyone every boring thing you're doing in your life is basically the definition of attention starved.

:laugh: I "unsubscribed" from a bunch of classmates when they did that. It gets worse when the status updates turn from studying to how they saved countless lives on the floors during the 3rd year clerkships.

It's all a fishing expedition for the "oh my god! youre such a great person" and " oh my god I cant believe how special you are" comments from non-medical friends, while the rest us have our eyes rolling so deep in the back of our heads we can see our own brains.
 
Seems to me like the issue could easily be solved by just unsubscribing from the people who get on your nerves. out of sight out of mind and all that.

I am also interested in seeing my own brain . . . just so I know its there in a non-cogito way. I can't see well in the dark.

BTW, I remember doing the douchey I'm going to avoid telling you what i study which makes it even more douchey when they are bound to find out. Um . . . yeah . . . I'm studying like stuff about viruses and how it affects the lungs at the moment . . . blah blaah blaaaah.

Now what is it called when everyone thinks you are a closet studier but in reality you are just good at multiple guess exams? I haven't cracked open a book since the end of step 1.
