I would also find it useful to discuss these sorts of things as well in a safe place. Being gifted was one of the factors that messed me up with normal interaction with my peers from a young age. And despite ability, without social adeptness, you don't make it far in the world. This has contributed to my low self esteem and depression. I don't want to be gifted if I'm forced to be ashamed of it. I certainly didn't choose this and neither did anyone else!

I'm glad this thread was made and I also think a group would be a good idea. I also don't want to go into anymore detail here as a few of the responses on this thread have led me to question if the general forum is a safe place for this discussion.
