Being a Gifted Kid Wrecked My 20s

Hey man just found your channel today, really enjoyed the vid so I'ma subscribe to you,💪Here to suport! This hit hard, I've just recently started uploading on yt, and honestly it's the first time I'm doing something for my own fullfilment, not to fullfil the expectations other people pin on me!😁good luck in your journey, let's keep growing!🚀

ugh this is so real helpp. new sub here because nobody really talks about how it is being a gifted kid and they just talk about how they r lucky.. TYSMMM

There's somewhat a saying in America: The A grades work for the B grades and C grades own businesses.

I don't know if I can put any work in, if I start putting work in I lose my edge more. Going from the kid who didn't study but got top grades and I'm now the kid who doesn't study but always gets average to above average grades and I see myself soon becoming the kid who doesn't study and barely passes. Eventually I'll be the middle-aged man who never studied but is making not much of a living in a job he never wanted to do but only did because it's what he was good at and what kept him feeling gifted for the longest amount of time.

Phenomenal video. Can relate quite a lot.

Thank you..

Hey! great video but I would say you better switch to Topics which are more Relatable to people if you wanna achieve YT success And I am saying this as Being a Gifted Guy Myself.

I'm a freshman at Harvard University and am actively recovering from the worst semester of my life. I took 32 credits of classes, including some of the hardest undergraduate classes this school has to offer (Math 55, Physics 16, CS61, etc.) , and absolutely failed. I finished the semester with a 1.9 GPA because I completely burned out at Thanksgiving break and just stopped submitting my work. I came to the school feeling like I wasn't the smartest person to get in, and my strategy with dealing with Impostor syndrome in the past was simply to push myself out of the frame of imposter syndrome. No one at the school was taking this many hard classes, so by doing so, I would have no reason to feel like shit, yeah? WRONG!!! SO FUCKING WRONG!!! My long term relationship suffered significantly, I let music slip out of my life, I stayed up for days on end without eating, drinking, and lord knows I never even looked at the gym. It's ridiculous to think what I did to myself. I've now scaled it back to 3 classes, but it's still hard to get out of bed, log onto my computer and open VSCode, or open up my textbooks, or just look at my email. I don't what I've done to myself, or my ambitions, but I just want to feel normal again, yk? It feels like you've definitely gone through this process and have come out better for it, so I hope to be able to do something similar. Thank you.

So true! I've been trying to figure out what I actually like doing, not just what I'm "lucky" to be good at.

Wow this was very cool. Can't relate because I'm the opposite of gifted but good to know!

Great video! These are some problems I struggle with as well!
