    I just want to bring up the option, because my struggles are similar to yours. Giftedness is something I recently found out I have probably been blessed with either along with, or instead of ADHD (which I have a diagnosis for).

      I hope that revelation will help you understand yourself better, my friend! Give you some peace of mind 🤗 is it something you want to get tested for or are you satisfied with the suspicion alone? For me, I kinda felt like it was enough to have the ADHD suspicion. Helped me overcome a lot of self hatred and relax a bit more.

      I dunno if I would call myself gifted. I’m pretty stupid, tbh, and you kinda have to have a brilliant mind to be gifted, from what I can tell.

        The ADHD suspicion and later diagnosis did the same for me, actually! I even have meds which do help me fit into society better. But something always felt off. I am going to learn more about giftedness, but the shift in mindset is already huge, similar to the former shift. Thank you for your kind words, I wish you good luck on your own journey – and don’t be so harsh on yourself ❤️
