i mean, "gifted" is basically doublespeak for "on the neurodivergence spectrum" and society just fucking hates neurodivergent people.
It's not really that we're aware of our deficiencies, it's that society makes us feel bad for things that are completely natural and should be viewed as sidegrades mostly.
I don't follow this at all.
My son is in the gifted program. He is also one of the most socially intelligent people I've ever met. Makes friends easily, is a natural leader, shows kindness and acceptance towards all people, and adults frequently comment to me how mature he is when interacting with them. He is well accepted by society and moves around in it with ease.
I also think you're missing the point. Are you familiar with the dunning Kruger effect? It's the idea that smart people are better at recognizing their own shortcomings because they are smart, and less intelligent people aren't smart enough to realize all of their shortcomings.
Hi! Assuming that neurodivergent people can't be socially intelligent is kind of offensive, neurodivergence is a wide spectrum and it manifests differently for everyone.
Also, just because someone seems good at something doesn't mean it's not a massive effort for them, read up about masking :)
This. Especially the second half.
