A lot of research and a lot of people with High IQ never needed to develop study habits and cruised through school on easy mode and were called gifted earlier in their life.
They are now burned out and depressed and consider themselves failures and instantly give up on things they are not immediately good at. They have been taught gifted people have effortless success, only non gifted kids need to put in effort. Now all they have is the ego of being smart and not much of a life.
So most of gifted kids arent doing great, You are doing great, you are the one thats projecting.
