Gifted Kid™ culture is spending your whole childhood being told you’re smarter and better than other kids, but also being really bad at normal human interaction, so you just end up with a weird combo superiority-inferiority complex around literally everyone else send tweet

Stan Lee has said that unlike other heros wearing a mask to only hide their identity, Peter wears one partially so his enemies can’t see when he’s afraid and that honestly makes me cry

book smart add/adhd(??) kids

no one catches it until you are older (or never) (i’m 18 i was diagnosed months ago)

you can hyperfocus on the schoolwork and projects you’re working on but you’re most likely losing 2-3 things a day that you absolutely need and getting in trouble for it 

not being able to prioritize which work goes first and doing a ton of research that isn’t necessary and getting off track super easily

takes you 2 hours to do an hour long assignment if you have too much time to do it

having the uncontrollable urge to fidget with anything in any way but being super annoyed by it

drawing during lectures once you take down the notes on the board because you can’t pay attention anyway so why waste your time trying? you can figure it out from the notes

not really needing medication because you’re doing fine in school

p r o c r a s t i n a t i o n

some teachers love you because you get so excited about what they’re teaching you (hyperfocus/hyperfixation) and others think you’re chill but you don’t really participate because you don’t care

literally living off of to do lists and check lists and lists lists lists WRITE IT DOWN OR IT’S GONE FOREVER

taking melatonin to sleep

“if i finish these two pages of reading, i get to watch one episode of friends” five hours of friends later with 28 pages still left to read and netflix asks if you’re still watching: “yes.”

can’t focus on math without music playing but can’t focus on english with music playing

gifted in elementary school, and it all went downhill from there, at least it feels like it did because you no longer LEARN, you just memorize

Bojack horseman had a lot of good scenes this season about being asexual and looking for a partner but this probably one of my favorite scenes

..may this joke land with y’all the same way it did for my sister and I lol

Anti anxiety.

“Why criticism hurts so much" 

I’ve been working on a series aiming to explain why we can get so deeply hurt and afraid of disapproval that it will interfere with our life decisions.

Coming soon: 2/4 "Where does it come from?” ¾ "How can I spot it?” 4/4 “What can I do?”

INFJs and Relationships

INFJs: Some of the most interesting people, but few know this IRL because we are rarely given a chance to shine.

While we do have feelings for you, we experience great difficulty expressing it.

Subtlety is a double-edged sword. We’re usually too subtle, but when we get the amount of subtlety just right, you’d better watch out.

Yes, us INFJ guys do want to kick the living crap out of that jock that hit on you as if you were in the business of negotiable affection. But do we? No, because we’re afraid of making a scene and potentially coming off weird to you if you don’t know us yet.

We look for depth. Diving into a shallow pool never ends well, does it?

A little reciprocation would be lovely. We’re already hard on ourselves and we need to be reminded that we’re good enough. Maybe a few random acts of kindness?

Maybe we should actually introduce ourselves to you.

Lots of daydreams.

If we get a picture together, you bet we’ll look at it every day when we feel sad to help cheer us up.

“Umm… This may sound strange, but I like you.” debates adding “a lot” to the end of the sentence, but waits too long trying to figure out if that’d sound TOO weird / oh god i’m gonna die someone please help

We care about you. A lot. So much, in fact, that when you’re sad all we want to do is cuddle you until you feel better.

We have been known to buy you puppies, just because.
