most of the comments here are just self-victimization in the form of ‘could have been’.
which is precisely the premise of the OG post. People are just pouring their delusions into this being like ‘no but that doesn’t apply to me!! i truly was gifted and special!!’
I don’t know… hard for me to understand any of this. I was not a gifted kid. I was smart and hard working. Most ‘gifted’ people I have met are just… lazy jerks who refuse to grow up and take responsibility for their choices… but LOVE to go on and on about how everything is their parents/teachers fault and how their perfectly decent life would have been so much ‘better’ and they’d be the next Bill Gates/Zuckerberg/Musk if some math teacher had been less mean to them as a pre teen.
