Gifted? How so? Are we talking about Savants? Or Mensa? Perhaps we are talking about those gifted in the ways of the paintbrush?

Honestly, I feel that being "gifted" is subjective as "average" isn't so easily defined. I also feel that by addressing oneself as being "gifted" only serves to further alienate oneself from the world as others would feel that the person in question is self indulging or implying they are superior. A symptom of NPD perhaps?
