hey man are you any amount of schoolwork because looking at you makes me unable to breathe (gifted kid burnout rizz)
#gifted kid burnout#it sucks so bad#cus like#i was literally fine and then i hit middle school and i started actually struggling because i wasnt ahead anymore#they didnt teach us anything actually important they just taught us harder ways to do simple things#and i started getting like c’s#and my mom was so pissed off#and one day i was like ‘yk c is the average right? im not failing anything’#and she goes ‘you arent the average. youre a GATE student.’#like ok girl thanks#and i cant even say she didnt get it#cus she was literally in GATE as a kid???#but shes also said to my face#‘i can still get a’s not caring but you stop caring and you get c’s’#like it was an outrageous thing that i struggled more in classes that i didnt enjoy#i feel like its pretty understandable that youll probably do better in something you enjoy#anyways yeah#i got told i was smart in like 3rd grade and now everybody thinks that i need to be a prodigy at everything i do#i also have an adhd and autism diagnosis now which seems to be a common theme with my GATE friends
