You are not a gifted kid who burnt out. The amount of delusional comments I sincerely see on this app were people believe that they were some like prodigy child who just burnt out along the way you weren't. Your station in life is actually exactly where it was always going to be. Let me explain what happened here in the 50s and 60s. They had slow classes and regular classes. And if you were in the slow class you were slow and if you were in the regular class you were regular. And it worked for a while but then what they realized is hey, these slow kids don't feel very nice. This isn't very good for them. This is hurtful. What can we do to fix this? I have an idea. Let's move everybody up a tranche. The slow kids are now regular and the regular kids are now gifted. And that's what they did. And it worked fine except for the fact you then had a bunch of kids walking around who are sincerely very average people who think that they were some like prodigy. They were some like miracle child. I was reading at a fifth grade reading level when I was in third grade. That means nothing. You are a regular kid. And now you have all these adults and you know that they're regular by the fact that they even believe this focus, focus nonsense that think like sincerely. Oh, I was so gifted and then somewhere along the way I just lost my flame. No. You are always regular. You were a child. People were praising you because you were a child. You were a six year old child. And now at 27 how you don't recognize that and you still seem to believe that you just like lost your spark along the way speaks to how truly delusional average you always were. I'm so sorry you are not a gifted kid.
