A person who tries harder than they need to while doing something.

A person who puts a large amount of effort into achieving a certain image, or counter-image, to the point where it is obviously contrived. Rather than achieving an image through genuine personality, the try-hard consciously attempts to fit a certain style through deliberate imitation, forced style, or scripted behavior. That is to say, he/she is trying hard to create an image.

Try-hard is an adjective used to describe an individual who:
1) will try very hard to be good at something or fit in and eventually fails.
2) in videogames (such as Call of Duty or Halo) tries so hard to be good they end up losing sight of just having fun. This individual can become aggressive with other players if they are in a losing situation. In this sense the term can be used to describe players who are being relatively successful.

It must be noted that it is not uncommon for individuals to falsely accuse others of being a try-hard in order to make themselves feel better for their own inability to fit in or poor performance. If confronted by such an individual evaluate the accuser as well as yourself and remember there is a difference between trying and trying too hard.

A person who trys their nuts off. Especially when you think they are only winning only because they are putting too much effort into something.

Often declared by hypocrites during long winded tantrums while playing video games such as CoD. They call out other people when they are in fact trying too hard and still losing.

A person (usually a noob) who really gives everything they possibly can to everything they do; they are hard-workers. But they work for all the wrong reasons, they just really want to be the best at everything but they usually end up looking fake and forced. They really want to look excellent, but they aren't. They end up working harder than they have to and don't get accepted because of it. They are very similar to wanna-be's but worse because they make their actions obvious to everyone they can.

One who tries to accomplish things in a showy way. They try to show off in doing little pointless tasks. Tries to compete to hard in practices and working out. A suck up in a sense to people who are of a higher status. They try hard to impress ones higher than them

Someone who trys too hard to fit in and therefore never will.
