Don't envy the green too much, chance of late onset mental illnesses seems to increase.

My grandfather privately had major depressive disorder and anxiety, and was a psychiatrist. So valid point.

Also lifelong concern with things that the average group doesn't notice, and inability to be entertained by the things that enthrall them.

The worst thing about being gifted is that you can't use "I'm an idiot" as an excuse. There are tons of people out there that hide their mental disorders behind being dumb. You can't do that when they have a test that says you can't do that.

Sure you can. Most people don't know about your test results. Even for those that do, there are plenty of people gifted in some areas and deficient in others.

I was going to upvote this until I thought "oh, you're calling yourself gifted not are you? Reckon this is talking about you?"

This feels like some kind of reverse Dunning Kruger backflip fallacy.

  • Dumb people are confident despite their ineptitude.
  • I lack all form of confidence.
  • Therefore, I am quite smart.
