I was diagnosed Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified -- Like DID only there is a common "I" that is always around.
I'm intellectually "gifted", too. Probably still some, though not as much since I'm older.
Makes sense then, that we would depend on our own intelligence to figure things out and not depend on others so much for that. Which could lead to them feeling slighted. I still want/need people in order to feel loved, close, etc. Not easy to deal with, especially after we're grown and have habits, defenses, etc.
