Any other robots here that were "gifted" children and now are just burnt out and miserable?
>>38615742
Yup.
At least I get to blame it on a criminal family though.
I check out literally every one of those bingo cards.
The burnout is real.
>>38615742
I burnt out but then I lowered my standards. It's not like I'm even failing to coast yet.
fug i have the whole board except for psychology and wikipedia
Pretty much everything, except weed (thou a year and a half ago I quit smoking cigarettes), and I don't ilke psychology and don't trust psychologists.
damn... i am robot
I've smoked maybe 6 times in the past two years, but one day, I'll return to being an at least once a week toker.
This is all stuff that applies to generic loosers.
what went so wrong?? my birth was a mistake.
I haven't burned out yet, boys. I'm off to med school so I can start my own research company.
>>38615742
I'm not burned out at all.
Yup. I stopped trying in 6th grade after family issues. The only achievements I have is I learned very good English on my own and I learned how to read myself when I was 3.5 years old.

Oh yeah. Even dropped out of community college. Now I'm taking out loans to become a welder. I think about suicide on a daily basis
I blame parents getting deported and then getting stuck with abusive relatives until i moved out with some guys i met on here a few years back.

Learning about that just shattered my own self doubts
>>38615742

>>38615742
I literally cleared the whole board what the actual fuck. Every single fucking one.

I wouldnt say im gifted, maybe just have a slightly above average intellect, but man... why am i like this
no bingo im sorry

In school, my entire sense of self-worth was predicated on getting good grades and being intelligent + smugly superior. In retrospect, I was just a boorish narcissist. Everyone had stupidly high expectations for me, but the cracks were already appearing (missing occasional grades, loss of focus, chronic fear of failure <-> self-handicapping etc.)
When I went to university, I met people who were leagues above me. Not only that, they were much nicer, better rounded and all round less autistic. Couple that with the fact that I actually ran into stuff that I didn't understand instantly and the usual perils of being a manchild trying to make it on your own away from over-protective parents. It was all downhill really.
I applied to grad school with the idea of desperately turning everything around. But instead, I had a complete mental breakdown. I lost all faith in my ability, couldn't leave the house. I had visual and tactile hallucinations; I sleep sporadically, despite being constantly tired. I comfort ate excessively, subsisting on takeaways because I was afraid to leave the house.
Naturally, I went to few lectures. I failed a lot of exams. I moved back to my parents afterwards and prepared for the retakes (but struggled to summon the will to study). Eventually, with enough pressure, I scraped through (technically I failled, but the faculty took pity on me).
So now, I have crappy grades, limited knowledge of the material, a complete lack of inclination to do anything, no sense of self-worth and no real idea of what I am supposed to do. Everyone told me that I was smart and would have these amazing jobs and make tons of money. But instead I'm a depressed, unemployed loser. I'm not sure whether I was smart and wasted my potential, or whether I was misguided. I sitll fantasize repeatedly about success and discovering some hidden brilliance that leads me to the greatness I feel cheated out of. And I am horribly bitter/envious of those who did succeed.

Fucking get out you underaged shitlord. 18 is still extremely young and I don't want to be posting in the same board as you. You're a fucking child. Go back to school, no one wants you here.

so fukken close

All of these described me in high-school and early college, and I'm regularly thankful that I dropped most of those attributes as I grew up and matured. I still read Wikipedia articles and like feeling validated though, but those aren't terrible. Learning to ask for help when I need it and to stop being afraid of not being the best at something were probably the best things I ever did for myself.
>>38615742
My parents and growing up in a small town really fucked me. I got told I was gifted when I was young and they tried to move me to gt classes several times which I refused because it would mean more homework and less time to be a lazy shit and play video games and my parents never forced me into it. But being told I was smart and constantly having high grades gave me a sense of being better than I was, then I managed to graduate in the top of my class and get a full ride scholarship to a uni. Which I promptly failed out of and realized when you're surrounded by backwater idiots and have other people feeding your idea of yourself as a lazy genius it's very easy to feel smart.

abooga booga I am such Origi Nigga
>>38615742
God damn it I got almost every space.
Why is this a thing? Why couldn't I have been a success like everybody told me I was going to be?
They said it would be easy.
>>38615742
A lot of these charts like this and the virgin walk take shit that everyone deals with and makes a big deal out of it. You don't think almost everyone looks for new forms of escapism or feels lack of motivation? You arent some special stereotype and the sooner you realize that youre just another human with strengths and weaknesses the sooner you can work on improving yourself
>>38618574
That was rough to read but important to hear. Thanks anon.
I was actually classified as gifted in elementary school, I would read DSM and wiki articles but lately I haven't had the motivation to read even, formerly one of my favorite pastimes. Also I'm somewhat shameless around my parents because I know that they know what a huge fuckup I am so I ask them for money and stuff.
>>38618574
This. Most normies would probably check more boxes than the ones posting here right now.
Google "Barnum effect" for a good time call.
