@silviapohrib: Some of these traits can also appear in other forms of neurodivergence, such as ADHD or autism. However, the way they manifest and interact with one’s experience is often different. The descriptions in this post reflect how these traits are most commonly associated with giftedness, particularly in terms of cognitive, emotional, and existential intensity. #neurodivergent #giftedness #selfloveclub #coachsil #selfdevelopmentjourney #MentalHealthAwareness #therapyworks #personalgrowth #SelfAwareness #HealingJourney
Nobody in my life can accept I don’t have career goals, I just want to keep learning and writing forever 😅

ADHD teacher here: Is this why I get SO FRUSTRATED with ineffective administration and district personal? They’re in a position of power and therefore should be MORE effective, not less?!

I wish I was kidding but when I was 14 I mentioned to the hospital staff that I have this constant feeling of dread but I don't know why. They said I was just breathing too many times a minute!!!

Haha the way you said “it’s about the intensity gap” 😂 Honestly, astrological archetypes & how they’re organised into specific areas of life and personality has helped me understand & accept so much

Sable_xXx 🇬🇧🏳️⚧️ :
I feel this. I actually got disciplined twice at work for having too large a vocabulary, and for expecting too much out of others, when I was just trying to get feedback on incomplete tasks.

I appreciate the reframing from giftedness to intensity of experience. Super super relatable for me.

I don't want a high paying job, I just want to maximize the time I can use for my hobbies/rest and to spend with my family while also being able to afford necessities. I know I *can* do things others

AAAH— this hit me like a train. why can I understand my faults and even the reasons behind them and yet have no clue where to begin to work on myself 💀 (but this could also be autism in my case)

The Dissonant whisper :
I've gotten to a point here when random people or friends ask me how I'm doing I am 100% honesty and boy does it feel good but it's really alarming for others.

Orchid :
I sadly am the opposite about change; I'm in constant stagnation, and subconsciously afraid of fundamental changes to my life. it keeps me in a loop of existential dread and shame.
