Would a bright girl like you decide to attempt the memorization of every name in the telephone book for no apparent reason? Attempt to count and organize grains of sand on a beach by color and size without cause? Of course not. Not unless you are suffering some kind of mental problem. Surely you will eventually ask the all-important question: Why am I to do such? What am I doing this for?
And when you are unable to successfully answer this you will prudently refuse to continue senseless projects.
You are not afraid of success, just afraid of wasting your time and effort on useless activity that has no purpose. This is a symptom of high intelligence. You have discovered that life is not about just doing what others tell you is right or appropriate (whatever the hell they think they mean by it). Congratulations!
Now you can confidently leave those mindless tasks to their appropriate instruments: machinery and the countless unquestioning idiots that surround you, so you may begin to construct a life afreash with real meaning.
Forget about your family and what they think. Look at what interests you most. Find people who think like you and contact them. When you know what you want from you life, construct a good plan. Only then, if you really want something, work hard for it. If it turns out to be not so good, by all means give up immediately so you can use your time and resources to go for something better.
Don't listen to the many fools who will undoubtedly tell you otherwise, or even try to impede you. The goal of your life is YOUR happiness and you are the person you can trust best to help you get it. Others can't be trusted with this important task as they are either unable (too stupid and/or ignorant) or unwilling (have their own agenda.)
Now GO FOR IT
and don't look back!
