Something similar: knew a girl that was wrote her bio master and she was like "you're all below me", one day she asked me to read her work for spelling mistakes, took a week intensively researching the topic and made several remarks on wrong sources/ better sources, found data assignment mistakes and content errors and wrote a comprehensive critic to the work. I'm feeling kinda sorry for what I did, she never handed the work in & is now a single mom. I'm far from the only reason for it, but I think that it pushed her over the edge with the decision to give up her academic career for good. Ooopsie.
Her "bio master" as in her Master's thesis? Why would she not have someone in her cohort read it? What happened with her PI? Were they just not checking in on her work at all? How could they get so far into a Master's that she's in the process of writing her thesis that you could find better sources in a week?
Sounds like the above person was cohort. They didn’t really specify they weren’t just that she asked them. So there was probably a reason and she trusted them.
I figured they weren't since they described her as acting like she was better than them for her degree. It made it sound like that put her apart from them but idk.
Or Insecurity and crippling low self esteem with a boundless assumption that everyone is comparing themselves as better or less than can eat people alive.
