Something something gifted kid burnout making me think I peaked at ages 11-14 and should have "done more with my giftedness" at the time because I'm still doing the same hobbies but at roughly the same skill level and now that I'm "older", those are just normal hobbies and there's nothing impressive or incredible about the way I do them anymore,, ., ,, yeah send tweet

#Which I know is so so sooo Not Accurate because I'm saying this in my early 20s and that's still SO young !!#why am I feeling as if I should've had everything together like 8.3% way through my life #And moreover why am I feeling as though NOT having everything together by 20-something is late #I'm sure there's an essay out there somewhere about why you can focus solely on academic etc at that age vs not when you're older #And yeah I'm working on deriving validation from the mere act of doing said hobbies and it's working #But still #>:(#Mine #Personal #gifted kid burnout #gifted kid syndrome
