Bordering on messianic levels. Too bad I did not live up to my potential.

Congratulations, you were a gifted child, but you took the time to develop an actual personality instead of worrying that your AP scores would banish you to some state school. On behalf of everyone, thank you for having perspective and for not being a nightmare to be stuck in an elevator with.

I was only in social studies/history such things. But I did not do well in school as I was a victim of bullying. I hate those years to be honest with you.

Not to sound P.C., but everyone has their talents and their gifts, those we pidgeon-hold most often (mainly by the institutions) as the "gifted" and the "extra smart" , while often bright in general, are those rewarded for showing a big propensity towards excelling within the system.

Hybrid (often rh negative) children growing up within the educational institutions (partially depending on just what 'kind' of hybrid they are) can respond to schooling in two extreme ways: motivation to excel on every level, or give a proverbial middle-finger to the whole thing, and disassociate out of a subconscious recognition of the assholery of it all.

I was a classic case of the latter growing up.....haha....

I resent this idea society has now that the "gifted" people have to have this homogenized personality that is based upon, essentially, expert-worship. Seems kind of ass-backwards to me, really.

You were a very gifted child. Congratulations, you likely spent every day under the crushing pressure of your parents's insistence on you being perfect. Sorry about that.


Eh. It was called life. Don't tell my parents I am on the internet and not doing something like practicing my instruments, or helping nephew with homework, etc. Lol

Congratulations, you aren’t spending your adult life talking about how awesome you were as a kid. Good job on not being totally insufferable at parties, and generally excellent company.

Not enough gifts to be sly enough to help me out of these situations. :\
