âPo from Kung Fu Panda is a himbo,â I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.
âTheyâre right,â they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 5rd row stands: Jack Black himself
we all know Jack Black is not limited by our simple universe
this post is such a rollercoaster
THIS IS SO UPSETTING

When I complain about being a âgiftedâ kid who grew into a talentless adult I donât mean that Iâm not trying to work on my talents or anything
I mean that the âgiftsâ I had are useless
Reading books above my age isnât a talent when Iâm not eleven
Knowing big words isnât a talent when Iâm not a kid, itâs just growing up
Itâs just a weird thing that happens and it feels shitty when youâre brought up being told youâre an exceptional child only to realise as an adult youâre just average
This
I did a lot of reading about gifted kids and especially gifted adults when I got my âdiagnosisâ because I was told I was gifted at 23 and well, it serves no purpose to have a confirmation that youâre gifted at 23
Thing is, gifted children are not amazingly better than everyone else. Gifted brains just donât work the same so they build their skills in a different order
Basically when youâre 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 donât know a thing
But the thing is, when everyone gets older, theyâve 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 thereâs no one left to teach us about that! Because weâre 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
thank you I needed to read this
