Are You Gifted and Don't Know It?

[@jenniferjones4991]

I'm seeing flashes of different faces. And I have sleep terror meaning something is in my room. I have a unseen entity touch me more then 1 time.

Thank you for watching. I hope this was helpful.

Instead of colors in the leaves of a tree, Im busy looking at the aura of the different trees. This is highly fascinating..thank you.

[@MAzurburg]

Finally a channel about giftedness that I relate to. I'm gifted, but I'm not a savant. I was feeling like I need to be a math genius in order to be considered gifted

[@aulasalinevonbahten]

It’s been so hard to understand and to realize that my problems in school, high school, work were not really what I thought. I felt different and I have suffered a lot. I’m crying a lot after watching this video. Thank you so much. It’s time to shine ✨

[@Ciara_mckeown_unfurl]

Really great video. This process of trusting ourselves and being authentic requires us to grieve the fact our family may not have seen us for who we truly are. Then taking the risk of being that person. Terrifying and liberating!!! Xx

[@someonegetsme]

Yes, terrifying and liberating at the same time. Thank you for your comment and for watching. GO for your liberation.

I don't know what my gift is. Lol

You are welcome. I am delighted it was helpful. Thank you for watching.

I used to think that I was crazy or something beyond people's understanding. My teacher told me that I was phenomenal when I was in elementary school and they isolated,shamed me for being sharp for my age. I always had a comeback to anything anybody can say about me also, my mother told me that I will get killed if I don't stop being smart fast forward my boss at FAANG resented me for being "a smart ass" 😂 I don't even try to be smart but as soon as someone starts talking about something that I know very well ideas continue flowing without stopping and I can't keep my mouth shut. I love helping people but I'm also scared of them because they're angry,mean spirits sometimes. My solution is to isolate and distract myself around people that can't understand me. They think that I'm a stuckup,shy, introverted,mean, angry all kinds of bs. Thanks for motivating

[@stevedavenport1202]

If you are self aware and understand the impact your mental powers have on people, yet you continue to behave in a way that is detrimental to you, then perhaps you need to develop some emotional intelligence. By this, I mean moderating your behavior when warranted and/or find your way into an environment where your behavior isn't seen as threatening.

[@cigar8241]

@@stevedavenport1202 I appreciate the advice!

[@shweetiepetina1563]

@@stevedavenport1202 Is this advice similar to the quote, “If you’re the smartest one in the room, you’re in the wrong room”?

[@RandomPerson-bd2hv]

I'm gifted. I've known it because I had to get tested growing up. but I did not understand what it meant so I'm having to learn. this might be life changing. Thank you.

[@shweetiepetina1563]

Yes. I was in a gifted program in 2nd grade. I had to leave the regular classroom. We dissected a kiwi. 😂 That’s all the experience I received and then it ended. Until today perhaps. Thrilling

[@emmaandjoylesmana]

Thankyou so much 😭😭😭. Listening to your saying made me feel somehow liberated like i can see myelf from crystal clear lens. I’m from Indonesia. I thought i had BPD or NPD or maybe bipolar etc etc bcs of that intens roller coaster of emotions every single day. And i’m living in simultaneous “emotional pain” dealing with standards. Etc etc etc oh my thank you so mmuch

[@someonegetsme]

Thank you for your comment and for watching. I am delighted you now feel more liberated.

[@Shanos1994]

I haven’t done an IQ test to put a number to my intelligence, but I don’t feel more intelligent than others. To me the way I perceive it is that so many people seem slower and can’t see the strings that connect the information together. I don’t fully trust doctors anymore, even psychiatrists, I have to fact check, research everything to do with meds especially. And it’s hard to know just how intelligent we are without a frame of reference, and even then it doesn’t seem so simple.

[@jackdeniston6150]

Never felt smart, even though tested and pointed at for being so. Albeit had to shamefully hide it. Has recently been pointed out that intelligence is speed, getting there sooner. Most people can get there, but sloooooower.

[@Shanos1994]

@ what IQ did you get? Also I don’t think it’s only a matter of speed, there is a qualitative difference the higher you go. There will be some things that less intelligent people will never figure out even if they had many decades or more.

[@APRNpeds35]

I was told I was gifted by a teacher when I was 16. Nobody before this said this to me before. My parents were intellectuals and didn’t seem to notice.

[@auducharme]

Thank you, Dianne. I just found you and I really needed these friendly reminders today! 🌹

[@yootoob1001001]

Thank you for mentioning the difference between malignant perfectionism and beautiful perfectionism and including the anxiety that comes with a visionary bent. Very validating!

[@Twinruler334]

I am not sure I am gifted, but watching some KZbin Videos about gifted children, there was a lot I could relate to.

[@someonegetsme]

Thank you for your comment. Giftedness is not restricted to children so if you relate, you may be more gifted than you have once thought. I am happy you can relate,

[@Twinruler334]

@@someonegetsme Oh! Thanks.

[@jonrixbus]

Thank you Dianne! You are doing great work! Much what you said resonated with me. As I grew up I thought I was stupid, because people around me seemed so sure about everything, while I was questioning everything. People around me seemed to have such finite personalities while I struggled to find my own personality through a bunch of different personas that I used to try to connect to the world. I didn't realise that those with "finite personalities" probably where more one-dimensional than me, and that I had a richer world within me than them. Fortunately I have found great friends in life through my great passion of music, but a romantic relationship is still to come. I think a big reason is that I enjoy my own company so much and don't want to waste my time on a person who slows me down (sounds selfish and arrogant I know ;) ), combined with the fact that it's harder for gifted people to find each other, since we are a minority in society. But I haven't lost hope, and I find myself more forgiving towards myself and others as a get older, which helps in connecting with people. The untypical brain development that you describe was new to me, really interesting! It may explain why gifted people have almost like a "sixth sense", because they can process and filter information in such a rapid way that they see the greater picture instead of getting stuck in details. I have always been ashamed of my gifts because there is no worse feeling than the feeling of superiority towards others. It brings so much guilt, pain and feelings of isolation. Lately I try to see my gifts instead for what they are - gifts. I didn't choose them, they chose me, and then I feel very thankful. And I know that each one of us, gifted or not, have unique capabilities and unique perspectives of life. If we all could aknowledge and celebrate that, then there is a bright future for humanity. Now I have rambled enough haha. Great love to you all, over and out.

[@shulamitlazarus9867]

Hi Diane, so I’m listening to this because I want to understand my keen intelligence and my ability to put things together in ways that other people don’t and also how my mind works very very quickly, which sometimes leaves people quite daunted or overwhelmed. I was struggling with feeling there was something wrong with me, but now I’m seeing it’s a super power. However, even though you are wanting people to feel comfortable within their skin you’re actually doing the exact opposite unknowingly because when you term our sensitivities (super power) as “over excitable “you’re actually are framing us as abnormal and having pathology with your words. You’re putting us into boxes and comparing us to the norm. Instead of saying “over” excitable you could say that all of the other people that are not like us are dull-witted and dim. That would be putting them down as well. That’s not ok. Please be careful with your words. It is part of my giftedness is to notice these things. You are actually labeling us as not as good enough. You are putting us against a norm. That norm is just because there’s more people that are NOT gifted. That norm is called the average. WE are remarkable in our abilities. Not only am I gifted in my intelligence my but I am also Claire sentient, and can feel frequencies of others thoughts in my body. I can also transmute those frequencies because being gifted also allows us to play with our giftedness and create something even more magnificent with them. I invite you to stop using the word “over excitable” and look at your language. Having said that I appreciate what your doing and all gifteds need to have a voice. Your giving a voice to gifteds but be careful not to take it away with the words you blithely use. ❤

Gracias!

My own family bullied me more. Classmates ignored me. By my teens, I was totally messed up. Wish I could have watched this video back then. Oh, well, I survived. It was rough but I am o.k. Now.

[@sittingstill3578]

Thanks for explaining the trait of wanting speed up videos to keep them interesting. Trying 1.5x on this one. :D Worked great. I noticed the pitch shift and verbal irregularities due to the speed increase were filtered out by my mind. Very neat.

Idk because I was 16 and it didn’t come from my primary teachers I never really believed it.

That explains the hoarding. Wanting the intensity by having 30 watches instead of just one.

[@jesselee4405]

Im going to finish the video, but had to stop and say i can feel my connection to you just by watching you lol. I stumbled onto this topic partly because ive been looking at ADD material, as i went cold turkey off of truama, simulant, and anti-psychotics the other day-I've been on them for four years. My doctor, the last six months or so, I've been noticing, obviously noticing, has become impatient with me. She finally threw up her hands and said tgeres nothing else she xan do for me. The message kinda punched me in the chest. ive been ruminating on it for five weeks, where last week i deliberately fucked off the appointment because fuck her then. So i ditched five or six meds. Withdrawal? Yes. Mindfuck? No. How I perceive myself perceiving the world is totally the same. pardon my language too,bhut fuck big insurance and pharma, and, and, abd lol

[@jesselee4405]

Lol, I thought I was an alien too. *Edit: I'm an alien.

How is giftedness being defined here? If it's not having a gift. What is it?

[@cedricburkhart3738]

I don't really know if I willfully as gifted. I mean I have a vurbel IQ of 141 but my overall IQ is only 100. So over all not that impressive. I have often wished for an identical twin so I would have a play mate. Not that others never play with me. I would also like to be understood. And know someone who cares about what I care about.

I am old, sick and tired of everybody’s bullshit. I am still trying to hide my mind to the point of being accused that I ask ‘stupid questions’ 😂

[@claudiamanta1943]

8:23 Soap operas . They wanted to fire him because he could not hold a conversation about bloody soap operas! 😂 If this alone doesn’t make you depressed, you can’t think. Truth is the others fear and envy to the point of not making use of the gifted’s abilities. Out of sheer spite. One of the reasons for which I cannot stand humans anymore.
