Ouch that's a lot of damage.

Truth is, most kids who are gifted in school grow up to be perfectly average.

Having a high intelligence level shouldn't mean you owe anybody to 'make it big', regardless of what that means.

In 2010, Kim denied the idea of being a "failed genius." "I'm trying to tell people that I'm happy the way I am. But why do people have to call my happiness a failure?" He added, "Some think that high IQ people can be omnipotent, but that's not true. Look at me, I don't have musical talent nor do I excel at sports. [...] Society shouldn't judge anyone with unilateral standards – everyone has different learning levels, hopes, talents and dreams and we should respect that".

"I could've done physics" is the billionaire equivalent of "could have gone pro."

Its nice to have a narrative for yourself.

How about being above average intelligence, but get placed in below average classes because one child study team person decided you had "auditory" problems while you were in kindergarten? I recently found out that my highschool guidance counselors lied about my placement tests and I should have been in honors science instead of remedial.

I never burned out. I developed hobbies and found I enjoyed more physical work.

It's more describing how I'm decaying while still alive

Hey some of us are just lazy

Whenever I hear people talk about how hard being a burnt out gifted kid is it just sounds like First World Problems honestly lol.
