RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I see people complain about this constantly online tbh. Not so much in person, though. I see a lot of "woe is me" post from former "gifted kids" online complaining that they aren't making boatloads of cash or some nonsense.
I did well in school, myself, but I didn't have any people throwing out terms like "gifted" at me. And when I graduated and I was miffed that I was making no money...I complained for a bit, sure. But I put in the work and worked to put myself on a better career trajectory after doing my own research. I didn't just sit there and complain endlessly about how being called "gifted" ruined my life or some nonsense like other people do online. It gets tiring because people seem to think they are entitled to just have everything without putting in any work just because they were labeled "gifted". Then they blame everyone else for their own inaction.
Where are you seeing this? I don't see this at all online
It's not like it happens every other post, but it's often enough. People like to throw out the word "gifted" as a buzzword when they complain about their lives, as if this magical designation means that they were somehow entitled to a certain lifestyle without putting in any effort.
