Been there, done that.

You would need that much curry on a gull to eat it.

I was very gifted. I had an exceptional IQ and scored in the 98th percentile. Graduated with honors. I answer phones for customer service.

He's having naan of that

I was and now I'm just a crippled disappointment
Cyberpope67
Time to go create exotic birds. . . I got a quart of beet juice in the fridge. . . & can get yellow curry sauce cheaply
RVME
Racism. They like them yellow girls.
ineedanawesomeusername
I too have been covered in curry

Some of us are "twice exceptional", i.e. giftedness + disability. For me, it was ADHD, not diagnosed until I was an adult.
Cyberpope67
Oh, joy. . . I got the 160IQ +ASD +half paralysis (left side) going for me at 54. . . ho hum

I thought it said vegetarians and I was really confused why curry made them disappointed
KingWilldaBeast
I thought it said vegetarians and I was really confused why your comment started with “I thought it said vegetarians...”
Snadethebeast
Makes me think about the fact that by 2nd grade, I was 4'8" and by junior year of high school I was still 4'8"

When you realized you were part of a huge social experiment
BackfiringE28
I imagine it would have a distinct smell? Like the stairwell in my apartment building.

Some hot bird!

Looks beautiful, though. Phoenix gull?

Being gifted as a kid, means you were able breakdown to code that is reading earlier than most, it puts you a few years ahead of others, 1/2
FierceAndAdorable
after that it’s the work you put into it. 2/2

Stop hitting too close to home.

Same. Same. Was tested, treated well, treated different. IQ 135. INTJ. Now I live on benefits and am homemaker. Living the dream! +1

My child was labeled gifted, turns out I just sat my tired self down with her teaching her to read, crafts, play puzzles, and included her

My mom taught me prior to starting school; I began school, in Kindergarten, reading at a grade 5 level, & >

Yeah I kinda slid about that age too. She struggled in math and graduated like average. Proud of her.

Oh hell yea 2 bingos lets go

Ok, I got 12 bingos, not counting the 4 corners one! 4 across, 4 down, & 2 diagonals

Innate ability just means that your hard word pays bigger dividends. You still have to put the work in.
DYLANLEE79
Or you get the same result with far less effort.
HomunculusSr
And with how school systems are, much more likely this one. Unfortunately.
imnotsureaboutthat
And beyond that, people vastly overestimate innate ability. I don’t consider myself “gifted” even though education was a joke up until>>
imnotsureaboutthat
Medical school. I’ve known 2 people I would call “gifted” and it’s not comparable. Gifted students aren’t taking AP calc in HS, they are>>
imnotsureaboutthat
Well into 300 level courses by the time they finish HS.
TiberiusAudley
Doesn't help when you have undiagnosed ADHD for the entirety of your childhood and adults label your poor work habits as "laziness"
Mairoa
And bc you're smart, adults refuse to help you learn to put in that effort and you have to figure it out as an adult
otomesound
Innate ability means you HaVe So MuCh PoTeNtIaL and then everyone you know destroys your life trying to take advantage of you.
CurbYourClassWar
Amen
EternalSunshineofthePotlessMind
Innate ability means I didn't have to try to get A's until college, by which point I didn't know how to study.
JustSomePersonThere
Thanks for describing me too perfectly.
komododave
gaaaaalavant
I'm finally in my late 20s starting to orient my life around working hard at things rather than innately being good at things. It sucks.
viva93
just hit that recently myself at 27. it's like learning a new languageafter childhood: it's possible, just significantly harder.
BIC777
It's a common problem. When it comes easy you don't have to work hard.
eatandsleep
I'm thick as rocks mentally but surpass my colleagues, who learn instantly, intellectually because I have to go back and look it over 100x
nonameidea2
I know a lot of people that were labeled gifted as a child, some turned out doing amazing stuff, the rest... just being normal...
Lugh314159
It's like the kid who grew a foot taller than everyone one summer and was put on the BB team despite haven't no athletic ability whatsoever.
ProppaGanda
I'm doing amazing stuff like being anxious about everything and taking antidepressants that make my brain slow
fbutt09
Theres a big difference in having a high IQ & having a high EQ. It’s better to have the latter. As they say, A graders work for C graders.
Wishyouwouldnt
Yea... I'm probably less intelligent than I was at 13, and I always had the EQ of a curried seagull.
Cyberpope67
I was 'gifted' (160 IQ) & got penalized for being too right in class & on tests.
ultrasonicSonar
I got in trouble often for "not paying attention" but acing tests anyways.
Sageypie
He, it's mostly because the system fails these kids. They aren't given an adequate challenge comparable to their skills and end up being-
Sageypie
-able to coast by by being a big fish in a little pond, so to speak. Problem comes when they're suddenly put into the larger pond, and-
Sageypie
-finally having to deal with putting in the work and all that, but never having been taught how to accept failure and how to put in the-
Sageypie
-effort required, because they were gifted, and people never taught them about any of that because, oh shit, they were gifted so why would-
Sageypie
-they have ever needed that. You get set up by everybody with this idea that you can't possibly fail, and end up dropping anything that-
SmurfEggs
Of I was a doctor I'd say every kid is gifted just to make them have an amazing day knowing they're special

YourNeighborhoodLesbian
One gifted kid at my HS had a very hard time in college because he was just considered average there
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
I also had a very small HS so "gifted kids" were far and few between
imnotsureaboutthat
He wasn’t gifted then...
tremblesosoftly
Life happens. That's it. I was in GAT courses and so were 2 of my friends.after HS I got fired, my gf of 7 years left me and my best friend
tremblesosoftly
Moved to RI, I followed and dropped out if free college from grants etc. One kids sister died now he lives in a trailer and his job is
tremblesosoftly
Chewing tobacco. The last kids family had money, so he went to a very expensive college, didn't work and owns a house now. It's just life
MonocledMonotreme
I was kinda the opposite. Gifted, just wanted to go into a trade. Every adult "you're wasting your potential!" So I went to an Ivy League 1/
MonocledMonotreme
School on an (almost) full ride scholarship. Economy collapsed right when I graduated. Now I work in a trade. Same result, extra steps, 2/
MonocledMonotreme
Wish I'd stuck with my guns at the start. If everyone's a doctor or a lawyer, who's gonna fix the toilets?
Madscribe
Former "gifted" child here, trust me I've never qualified for normal, but my life is pretty plain. I'd take over the world but I'm lazy.
Nixasamurai
Or you peaked in middle school
Madscribe
Right in the feels
Nixasamurai
That’s was mean, sorry! But I too can relate

Pre-seasoned chicken!
Cyberpope67
parking lot chickens! (McMouets in Quebecois)
RootyTootyDrunkenShooty
I can assure you, that while still technically edible, seagulls do NOT taste like chicken
fbutt09
You must have had some seagull roadkill
jnmjnmjnm
Sounds like first-hand knowledge.
GreyKihano
It taste too much like human baby.
IMTHEONEWHOSTOLEALLOFTHECOOKIESFROMTHECOOKIEJAR
Which isn’t a bad taste by any means, but the flavor is not complimented by poultry spices very well
