It's also the lack of curiosity in others, and the lack of self awareness, that perplexes me.

It’s isolating to have your mind reach places no one can meet you at, and living in that isolation is often incredibly humbling.

Rapidly understanding something complex but being unable to articulate it effectively to someone else has been a theme this week but also always 🙃

I constantly flip back & forth between knowing I'm technically a genius & being annoyed that no one listens to me & feeling like the dumbest person alive.

So, do you kind of mean like...the Dunning-Kruger effect? The more you learn the more aware you become of complexity and the vastness of what you don't know?
So those who are gifted, feel small, because they can see outside the box.
But the rest of us feel big, because our view only goes to the edge of that box?
makes me think of the quote "the only wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." Socrates (I had to look up who said the quote lol)

I always attributed this to ADHD and not my high IQ. Perhaps both of these go hand in hand as most of my peer brainiacs have ADHD. Giftedness is much more than IQ alone. I have some theories…

Former gifted program kid. 🙋🏼♀️IQ test I took to get in had me at 138. I am the loneliest person. It sucks so bad.

It reminds me of the description of a 3 dimensional being looking at a 2 dimensional world - they don’t see what we see because they are trapped within their dimension.

I taught gifted kids, top 4%. In an environment w/ their peers, they flourish. They feel comfortable and have the freedom to be themselves.

Sometimes it seems like the person must be intentionally missing the point

You did a great job of explaining this. Like when people say "don't think too hard about it" when the alternative seems like no thought at all and the middle ground there is hard to find.

Something similar can be said for the intuitive introvert. They see and experience the world very differently, often relying on intuition and a rich inner world. This leads to so much isolation

I was the gifted kid. I've brute forced my issues with intellect for a long time. I destroy myself for every mistake, I realize I have no group. no flag to wave so to say. and I hate acknowledging it.

And trying to find a partner who you can talk to and explore ideas 😔 and whose brain works fast enough to keep up.

I used to think that if I was gifted it should make it *easier* to connect with people🤡

I can't even properly explain what's going on in my head & how my brain makes connections. It's a combo of words, pictures, colors in 3D configurations that convey meaning chaining at light speed.

I learned from an early age that my intelligence is not always a blessing. Teachers yelled at me for not showing work when the work was in my head. I started writing sentences on my thought process..

Yes! Like the dunning Kruger effect in all aspects of life. I wasn’t able to see my own loneliness in this until I met my gifted partner, and I could see it in him, and thus myself. 🤯
