@silviapohrib: Feeling alienated and being quite unsure on why they can’t bond with people is a very common experience for gifted people. They feel like no matter what, there is a wall between them and the rest of the people and this can feel incredibly lonely, although looking perfectly functional. #giftedness #gifted #neurodivergent
not having a wide enough repertoire of topics to discuss before deep conversations is a skill issue.

It makes a lot of sense, especially for people who see deep conversations as a way of understanding someone. What we often forget is that, for others, those same conversations can feel draining. Depending on the relationship, they also may not always feel comfortable saying they don’t have the emotional capacity for something heavy in that moment.
That’s why a simple question like, “Do I have your emotional consent?” can be so valuable. It really means, “Do you have the mental or emotional space to hold this conversation right now?” It gives the other person a genuine choice to say yes or no. Both answers are clear, both are valid, and both deserve respect. Even better, it creates honest communication instead of assumptions.
Clarification is kindness 😊

I needed this advice a few years ago. Thanks for emphasizing the consent part of this.

Yeah when someone mentioned consent it shifted the whole way I saw deep conversations. Although I have trouble sometimes understanding what questions are considered deep

exactly! Nobody owes you entertainment. Learning to do small talk is actually something worth doing

I can only go in depth platonically like that. If I KNOW the scene is romantic, I get like very paranoid and scared. The most healthy relationship we’re always with friends. And all my romantic relationships were the same as when you strike a match. Just a second and it’s out

i don't know, i seem to see a lot of people in their 20s, as i am talking about wasting time in relationship. it feels corporate the whole money is time thing. sure time we have on earth is finite, but it tend to feel like people want the destination not the accepting the journey of what the makes the destination worth while.
people expect trust from you out the gate and expect depth, when you just met, both of which, to my understanding are normally cultivated not pick up. sure benefit of the doubt and everything but it is never as simple as telling someone they can trust you and take it at face value.
