Are You A Former Gifted Child? Then This Checklist Is Going To Feel Like An Attack And I'm So Sorry

✔️Losing interest in things because you're not immediately good at them

Check everything that applies to you:

You were a social child

But now social interaction gives you anxiety

You were liked by almost every teacher

You've been told you have a "great future ahead of you"

You overthink every little life choice you make

Making new friends feels next to impossible

But you still have friendships from the trenches of the Gifted Program

You started to feel a lot of pressure in the early teenage years

Imposter syndrome especially in professional settings

School and good grades came before everything else

And, of course, had at least a few extracurricular activities

But mostly so you'd have a good application for colleges

You wouldn't study much but still got good grades

However, that started to change around 7th grade

Your memory got worse (probably overused)

You didn't know which career path to choose

Everyone pushed you to become a doctor or lawyer

Losing interest in things because you're not immediately good at them

You cried over school projects

You started procrastinating everything and anything

You still have issues with procrastination

Motivation is another huge issue

You had a hard relationship with your guardians

You felt like you disappointed everyone

You used to read a lot

But now the thought of picking up a book is horrifying and debilitating

You took a gap year because you didn't know what you wanted to do

Most of your relationships weren't successful

Or you've never been in one

And lastly, you're great at games/puzzles, but that's oddly sad to you

Show me my results!
