🥺 ... just kinda wish this didn’t resonate so hard. 🤦‍♂️

[trojan0405]

... okay, but seriously, this never goes away.

gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:

the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative

a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud

never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to

reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now

dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this

feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)

being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit

[trojan0405]

... speaking of “that slaps” ... 😬😬😬

[trojan0405]

But, is it though?? ... get out of my head. 😬😬

[trojan0405]

Needed to hear this, this morning...

no offense but your struggle is valid no matter how many people have it worse than you

[trojan0405]

Oooofff ... well, that hits hard.

does anyone else feel like they constantly have to justify everything they do? Iike I’m always mentally preparing a reason behind everything just in case anyone was to question it.

[trojan0405]

Well, damn ... why don’t you just @ me next time. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

i dont know who needs to hear this, but your relationship shouldn’t drain you

[trojan0405]

Well ... that hits harder and closer to home than I expected this morning. 😕😕

Why the fuck should you be humble? I guarantee there’s some middle-aged white dude out there who doesn’t have a fraction of your talent but who strides through life with unwavering confidence in his abilities. If he isn’t humble, you sure as shit shouldn’t be.

[trojan0405]

Jesus ... there that is. 😓

[trojan0405]

Well, shit. There that is ... wanna just come smack me upside the head while you’re at it, Universe? Damn ... 😓😕😳

you are not less talented than you used to be. you are not less intelligent than you used to be. you are not less attractive, or less funny, or less creative. no offense, but the reason you think you're no longer good enough has nothing to do with losing your abilities, and everything to do with a lack of self confidence and emotional impermanence that tricks you into believing you're impostor of yourself. you dont need to keep proving that you're still worthy of your past accomplishments.

Oof I FEEL this. #iminthispostandidontlikeit!!

Very oddly specific but you know when you grow up fully being told negative things about yourself and then you end up bringing that into your adult life? How do you..stop doing this? This is too specific to Google i’m so sorry
