Gifted children and adults see the world differently because of the complexity of their thought processes and their emotional intensity. People often say to them, “Why do you make everything so complicated?” “Why do you take everything so seriously?” “Why is everything so important to you?” The gifted are “too” everything: too sensitive, too intense, too driven, too honest, too idealistic, too moral, too perfectionistic, too much for other people! Even if they try their entire lives to fit in, they still feel like misfits. The damage we do to gifted children and adults by ignoring this phenomenon is far greater than the damage we do by labeling it. Without the label for their differences, the gifted come up with their own label: “I must be crazy. No one else is upset by this injustice but me.”

Totally agree, we are accused of being:
1. Too serious 2. Too intense 3. Too sensitive 4. Take things too personally etc They on the other hand are: 1. More trendy 2. Find more things funny 3. are more with it The ironic part about it is that 1. The trend setters are people like us 2. The great comedic minds are people like us Maybe they are just trying to cover up for their envy.

I suppose I am 'too' everything, but I don't think it's a bad thing, nor is it a bad thing that society doesn't know how to 'deal' with me. Gifts are given for a reason - they don 't make life easier.
I love my confidence and loud personality, I love being able to brighten a room when I walk in, but I'm also proud I can give as good as I get when I'm shown negativity towards me.
