I always appreciated people who contributed. Of course like Tuhl said there's contributing, and there's dominating the discourse. The latter is fucking insufferable, but the former is crucial.
Making yourself stand out probably the wrong idea in that sense. You can stand out to a lecturer by merely contributing in class, as well as doing extras outside of the class where jealous classmates won't see it. Office hours are awesome.
see my problem is i've made myself stand out because people found out i get good grades. i dont talk to anyone in my class, i sit alone in the back. during our lunch break i stay in there alone on my laptop. i offer to help people who tell me they are struggling, and im a really good team player in clinicals. i'll help anyone with anything at any time, if i am able. even those who've been rude to me, cause it's about the patients and not our disagreements. it doesn't seem to help me make any friends. it's always like this and i'm honestly figuring at this point that it's something i'm doing without realizing it but nobody will tell me what it is
