I’m sick of hearing the whining of “gifted” children. Like, why are they even “gifted” to begin with? What… they remember the names of shapes and count well and we’re supposed to believe they’re the second coming of Albert Einstein?

Can imagine the type of person this could rest? Imagine growing up and being told your special and better then the other kids when all they can do is learn faster than everyone else. There just lucky, that’s what gets me. It’s like being praised for being born rich. It’s like if we lived in a world where anyone was in a wheelchair and they could walk.

As someone with interactual disabilities I hate hearing them complain. Like really? you you were praised growing up and did well academically? Aww, I cry for you😥

      It’s not like it happens every other post, but it’s often enough. People like to throw out the word “gifted” as a buzzword when they complain about their lives, as if this magical designation means that they were somehow entitled to a certain lifestyle without putting in any effort.
