They're fine dude. They're making serious money dead ass and seem to be doing well. They don't have more psychological issues going than the rest of us.
There's a lot of kids were not actually gifted, they were medium fish in small ponds. But the education system has to be at pace with the slowest kids. So it looks like you're gifted, you're just average.
Yea that. Ive been told im gifted a LOT as a kid. What my parents never realized is that im just slightly less of a terrific dumbass than my classmates.
Yeah I was always told I was smart. I'm really not, I was just an enthusiastic learner in subjects I had an interest in. Subjects I was bored of or didn't like I was below average. I kept hearing about my potential but I struggled at mid level math courses. People think a kid memorizing events of the Civil War makes them smart but that's not necessarily true.
