I know myself, read probably 10 bpooks over years on giftedness. Went to large gifted convention across the country. Very educated. Documented in my twenties. I am a senior. I take responsibility. Trauma caused purposly by helping profession. Many interests.
Im slowly processing my giftedness because its become too tough for me to think everyone thinks like i do which leads to ultimately feeling hurt and let down by their actions. You put yourself in their shoes and can't envision yourself acting in such a way to them, and the overanalysis leads to poor mental health, stress, helplessness. im beginning to accept myself as being a gifted person, because its the only way I can accept the world for how it is. I'm not going to openly express this sentiment to others out in the real world, but its a good thought to keep in my back pocket for when I can't grasp exactly why an individual is acting the way they're acting towards myself or others. I'm very accepting of people doing what they please, as long as it doesn't involve the destruction of others, or possibly even themselves, but usually the two go hand in hand.
Jeffrey, I completely understand your comments. It took me quite some time to reconcile life experience and the way others act in relation to myself. I have had analysis paralysis and had some depression as a result of trying to understand. I was advised years ago to "keep my cards clo9se to my chest" which felt awkward initially, yet it does serve. Thank you for watching and I am so delighted that your found the topic useful.
The same with me. It was such a relief to know people’s ‘weird´ painful actions are not about me… but about them…. So I learned not to take it personaly but I still wonder sometimes, how to understand some situations.
Well said, Jeffrey. I have been going through the same thing. A few months back, I started to wonder if it’s perhaps not the case that other people are just lazy. I was in a new job and people seemed shocked by what I accomplished in my first few weeks there. I started to question if maybe there was something that made me different and stumbled across giftedness. I read several lists of descriptions and thought “this is me!” My partner also agreed. I unfortunately didn’t get support in working through this stuff with my therapist as she didn’t understand giftedness, thus I ended therapy with her and ended up here as I was seeking to feel understood. Glad I did as this video has been affirming. I struggle with the existential depression aspect and feel incredibly frustrated with other people, mostly because I feel like my partner and people at work are making me do extra work. I tend to chock this up to laziness, but I think I haven’t accounted for the fact that perhaps not everyone has the same ability as I do in certain areas. I was abused by my mother in childhood and felt stupid for many years because she told me I was. This was also confusing, however as plenty of other people thought I was intelligent and highly capable. Only recently have I stopped assuming the problem is always me as my self esteem has finally improved. I think I haven’t adequately accounted for the role of jealously in my upbringing and in the workplace. Some people hate me and are determined to destroy me, while others find me very likeable and I’m admired and looked up to. It is so confusing, but I think it says more about certain individuals and how they react to me than it does about me.
At 30:38, we see Victoria-Rose marching words into a careful order to best express the message she wants us to hear - I was already relating to the topic of the video before I watched to that point, but this was the moment where I realized that I was really seeing myself. Thanks for that!
The quote she chose at the end of the talk is important! It is so poignant right now. So many people are finding out they have been adhering to so many negative and inhumane ideologies. When they realize this, it takes SO MUCH BRAVERY to leave that behind and even sometimes go it alone. Love and light to our world! We truly need it. 🦋💜🙏🏾🌈
It can be challenging and over time we find our way and things get brighter. There are many great resources that are amazing. I am happy to share if you would like.
I enjoy watching this podcast!!! I didn't quite fully understand myself for a long time until now that I will be hitting 30 next year. I've had the reputation of being very highly intelligent when I was in school, always getting straight straight A's with a love for reading books and having my coffee while doing that. The labels that people perceive me causes anxiety within myself when I shouldn't be because people make intelligence and giftedness a liability. When I make mistakes people look down on me and it gives them something to talk about within themselves without me knowing that they are talking about it. That is the loneliest feeling in the world having to put up with that. I know a few people that I love being around that embrace the person that I am and not because I'm smart. Thanks again for this podcast !!
Hey Jacqueline, how have your hopes been about your future? I'm asking you specifically because we have similar age and I'd like to understand your take on this experience as a supposedly gifted person ( you didn't say you are, that's why I say supposedly). In my case, after I started noticing and actually accepting my differences, I decided to live my own way. So I came to this town in the beach to surf and live alone with close to no social interaction. Interacting became easier after I stopped expecting people to be or act like me or value the same things that I do, but it's clear to me that we will never have a connection in any way. I came to live here to do my own thing and I'm happy doing so. My idea was that people will be people wherever I go and I'll rarely ever connect to anyone regardless of the place or country. But sometimes I think of the possibility that I could be missing out on actually meeting people like me somewhere.
I just found your wonderful channel. It´s like a day at the cascades of Montebello, on warm and sunny day. I am subscribing. Thank you for your work and greetings from Mexico.
I just got assessed and found out I'm gifted. That provided a lot of answers but raises many questions. So I stumbled upon this video and I'm grateful for it. Thank you both for sharing.
I am grateful you found this video and I hope it spoke to you. Thank you for watching. Any questions or curiosities, feel free to connect and I will respond.

It’s like feeling that my inner world is a tardis that’s moving around in a world that has no idea how big I am on the inside!
Your description is so perfect. Yes! Yes! Yes! Thankfully there are people who do get us!
Ohmygosh! I love this.

Thank you so much for this. It’s so reassuring to have my experience described so well by another like this.
25:45 - Picking up whole additional skill bases just for the brainfeel of them. I feel seen as F.
My exact thoughts!
Brain feel.😊❤
At 30:38, we see Victoria-Rose marching words into a careful order to best express the message she wants us to hear - I was already relating to the topic of the video before I watched to that point, but this was the moment where I realized that I was really seeing myself. Thanks for that!

Thank you for your kind words and sharing your story. I can completely relate.

Yes, thank you so much. Finding this out age 46…
Same thing, same age for me! this is a bit of a rollercoaster, but it feels better than before... at least it feels like myself.

How did you get assessed? I highly suspect I’m gifted as well, and like Victoria-Rose I believe I received an incorrect diagnosis.
@@anonymoussaga8723 I had a six hour diagnostic appointment with a psychologist. We spoke and I had to do 2 different IQ Tests.
How do I get in touch with Victoria-Rose?
I’m going through this very same thing but I don’t know where to start!
Thank you for watching. Feel free to contact me and I can connect you. msdianneallen@gmail.com
I don't love learning, I just want to know everything. Learning is more the water to the fish lol
its like looking a starry night experiencing at a first seat to God's
Gallery whilst crying.
Thank you for watching. "God's Gallery" - Beautiful.
Worked all my life at something.
👏🙏
Hmm
Prophet Muhammad was gifted and he did change the world.
So many gifted people change the world in remarkable ways!
