I missed a huge chunk of high school b/c I'm allergic to repetition, so I would refuse to attend school during revision (my teachers didn't mind b/c they knew I would return for my favorite part of the year:
EXAMS)... Not sure how I passed grade 10 as I was absent for 2 consecutive months and missed an exam session due to depression, but have realized that I actively listen subconsciously and "soak up", so that must have helped me quite a bit.
Parents sent me for an IQ test when I was quite young, as I could read, write and comprehend by age 4.
High expectations from parents and much older siblings have left me scarred, as I did not go and get that degree, and that fancy job, house and car...
You know what upset me about report cards? no matter how effin high my marks were
ALL the teachers wrote
"Ophelia has the potential to do better, aim higher my girl" and I mean all of them, from my first year, to my last! WTF is up with that? They were never satisfied!
You know what upsets me about my pdoc? as much as I like him... at my last appt, he said "you give yourself way too little credit, you've learned some brilliant coping skills over the years"
IT'S CALLED A FACADE YOU DOUCHE! and it's crumbling, that's why I NEED YOU!
Spelling and grammatical errors are a pet peeve of mine, but I've credited that to my love of writing.Not sure if my irritation stems from anything else.
Have quit quite a few jobs b/c I couldn't deal with being more intelligent than my boss, lucky for me now, my sup is a bright guy, with a high IQ
So we get along just great.
Always felt emotionally,spiritually,and intellectually superior to my peers, which lead me to find older friends. I didn't act like a biatch about it, rather tried to point them in the right direction, but I don't think this was welcomed very warmly by all. Not a problem, b/c my real friends appreciated my insight and guidance and are still around today.
During hypomania, the slow chugging of their brain cells work on my last nerve, it's like I can hear their brain cells struggling to wind up! And I just can't stand having group projects at work, I prefer to go it alone, as they seem so incompetent then...
I'm not sure where this is going now, my train of thought is messed.
Guess I just wanted to say I relate...
Sorry if my post is nonsensical
