8 THINGS GIFTED PEOPLE THINK ARE NORMAL

Eight things gifted people think are normal, but aren't normal for everyone. One, mentally rehearsing a conversation before it happens. You imagine what they might say, then your response, then their response to that, until you've basically lived through 17 different timelines. Two, having trouble explaining how you reached the conclusion because your mind skips several steps that happened almost automatically. Three, immediately researching a seemingly useless piece of information because not knowing the answer bothers you more than it probably should. Four, noticing one inconsistency in someone's story or argument, then being unable to focus on anything else they say until you understand it. Five, intentionally simplifying the way you speak because you've learned that when you explain everything, you actually thought people think you're overcomplicating things. Six, having trouble following someone else's step-by-step instructions because before you've even finished, you've already found a way that seems more logical and more efficient. Seven, spotting flaws in a process you've only just learned, then wondering how the people who've been doing it for years still haven't noticed or fixed them. Eight, finding it difficult to answer, what's your hobby? Because you've gone through periods of intense interest in completely different subjects. So, how many did you get? And if you got all eight, you may be gifted, anxious, or both. And you're probably already researching which one.
