When I decided to take usmle and told my friends my plan, things changed.
one of my friends who also wanted to the exam asked me for reading matters, I gave her all I have. laterly, she called me every 2-3weeks at anytime, to tell me she was not interestd in the study. times of consolation, I lost my patience. I need keep going to study, but not interrupted to act as a psychologist.
One of my mates who has already been resident called me every month, from the first month, he told me start from UW. I did not. I went through Kapan notes once, then did UW, even through, It's tough for me. 2 months later, she told me after this Qbank I can take the exam. No!!, No way, How can I do that? I even cought nothing for just one-round memory. How can he say that? then 6 months later, he told me I should not take the exam due to my slow progress and said I should wait several years later. What's that? I got mouth blister after that day. I begin hate him. I hate people say something totally ignore your situation.
2month ago, he asked to switch to step2 UW and just do it. I did not, cause I have my own plan which is on my own pace, but not his. He is a kind of superman. Oh, I was mad again and be scared to his call. yesterday, he called me again to ask me when will I take the exam amd how long have been to prepare this exam fro me so far. I totally maded and at night, I was woked up by dreaded dream like somebody chased me all the time. I woke up early that morning at 4am and could not go sleep again and cried.
I am stressed enough for just prepareing , why is he interested in bother me every month, I don't think this should be treated as kindness.
What I wanted to say: let me alone and stop to call me for nothing but bull shit!!!!!

Dude, i think you should give that "friend" of yours a piece of your mind. If he doesnt like your progress, he can go and hug a tree. But you cant let anyone afect you like that, this preparation is hard enough, and it is too much material for you to be spending your time thinking in wateva some guy wants you to do.
Remember that not all plans work for everybody, and you have to find one that work for you and stick to it. If it works, keep it, if not, elaborate another one that works. Besides that, focus on your thing and let the others that doesnt contribute to your wellbeing, go with the wind. They can go and F**k themselves.
Have a good day !

I feel better after reading your words. Thank you!
These people really really really make me feel unhappy. I never feel miserable like this. For the first time I hate a friend. I would appreciate if he will not call me in the future to say BUll Shit!
I can not study for 2 days and try to relax by reading novel, watch TV.
But I will take this journey in my own way, just like you said"keep going" with strong nerve.

Dr smart,
There are and there will always be lot of ppl who will give us hard time. Most important is our reaction to that. Find your inner peace and concentrate on your goals and you will follow your dreams.
Good luck!
Focus on your career and your future

Thanks.
I stoped studying for two days, trying relax by watching TV. Today I think I am OK to start my journey again.
Yes, that is exactly what I feel: It is unavoidable that somebody did and will give you hard time.

dr smart. i know every one had his own plan according to his abilities and situation... i think your friends are only trying to encourge u and make sure that u are on the right tract, .....specially from the way u said it, it seems like ever since u started preparing..probably u feel step 1 is horrible which is exactly the way i feel about it .... they may just be trying to push u forward in their own way...... don`t be made at them or at me please... i suggest that u start a journal right in this forum , disscuss your plan, tell us where u stand and how it is going i`m sure u will have the support and encouragmentu need right now.. good luck
