When I complain about being a ‘gifted’ kid who grew into a talentless adult I don’t mean that I’m not trying to work on my talents or anything

I mean that the ‘gifts’ I had are useless

Reading books above my age isn’t a talent when I’m not eleven

Knowing big words isn’t a talent when I’m not a kid, it’s just growing up

It’s just a weird thing that happens and it feels shitty when you’re brought up being told you’re an exceptional child only to realise as an adult you’re just average

I did a lot of reading about gifted kids and especially gifted adults when I got my “diagnosis” because I was told I was gifted at 23 and well, it serves no purpose to have a confirmation that you’re gifted at 23

Thing is, gifted children are not amazingly better than everyone else. Gifted brains just don’t work the same so they build their skills in a different order

Basically when you’re very young, most people brain learn social skills and how to interact with their peers, but gifted brains are already at the next step which is how to understand and interact with the world

That makes the stereotypical young children that are very good at math, always asking questions about how things work, very upset when they don’t know a thing

But the thing is, when everyone gets older, they’ve mastered most social skills and now turn towards understanding the world

But the gifted children have already mastered that part and are turning towards how to build social skills. Except there’s no one left to teach us about that! Because we’re late to that party

Long story short, at the end everyone, gifted or not, goes through all the necessary steps to make functioning adults, so the difference that was obvious as a child has disappeared

But us gifted people often end up with social anxiety and impostor syndrome because we are actually less equipped than others to face a world that taught everyone to be confident and talk to people while we were busy reading books above our age

I went to this school to learn about “magic” but it was really the “magic of medical studies”.

They also performed an “example surgery” in front of us, but I don’t think cutting a person in half to get to their organs was the right way to do it.

This is never. I repeat. NEVER acceptable to joke about. This is people's lives. And it's awful. And scary. And yeah sometimes just having someone on the phone with you or on a face call so they can see you is fucking comforting. Cause at least if something happens someone will know and can call for help for you. And it's genuinely sickening that women even have to think like that. They have to think while going on a casual walk or being anywhere alone hmm at least someone will witness my abduction/assault/murder and can call for help. We should not live in a world where that's the norm. We should not have to think about what are we gonna do if x terrible thing happens. Or who's gonna know. Or how will they know. We should just be able to enjoy a walk or going out alone and be able to live in a moment without that backing voice telling us we need to be on alert cause this just might end up being our CSI episode.

Don't ever. Joke about this. If I see any of my followers doing so you will be blocked. You know better. I will not encourage toxic behaviors. Period.

I don’t use FaceTime or even call, but having Messaged my friends and or family that, hey, I’m walking home at night--here’s the path I’ve gone down--here’s how long the trip should take--I’ll keep you updated / tell you when I get home--is really comforting and shouldn’t be joked about because holy fuck what is wrong with you? Why would you laugh at someone comforting themselves?
