Gifted kid still in school here!
I am struggling in math, but everyone thinks I’m great at it since I’m a grade ahead no one listens to me when I talk about my anxiety about getting bad grades (a low A or a B, I have cried over getting those multiple times), saying that I can’t have anxiety/be stressed because I’m so young.
And because I excel in science, I’m currently in an honors course and two college courses! How fun. (/Sarcasm)
Everyone calls me smart just because I get decent grades. I don’t know anything about the solar system, engineering or coding.. but my special interest is architecture, urban design, City , art, reading and storytelling yet I never get to show anyone that.
They call me smart because I know most of the SAT words already and their definitions, but I only know that because I pick up a book every once in a while and binge read a whole series in a week.
According to everyone, I know, I’m a know it all, yet I can’t control the tone of my voice, I can’t understand Love or emotions. I just don’t feel human sometimes. Yet they call me smart.
I never learned how to study, I never learned how to take notes properly until this year and I still can’t turning my homework on time because it’s difficult sometimes and it’s discouraged me because everything supposed to be easy. That’s what I was told.
It’s not easy. Nothing is anymore, and it’s throwing me for such a loop that I can’t understand.
Maybe I’m in the middle of a gifted kid burn out, but I’ve been burnt out since middle school.
people misunderstand what ‘gifted kid’ actually means but it’s ok it’s fine it’s cool it’s good
