Maybe that’s why no one gets me, why people think i’m random when in my mind all my thoughts are connected in one way or another. I am very sensitive, i have always felt that i feel more than others. “They are quickly and easily hurt, and so tend to keep others at a distance.” sounds like me.Fear of failure got that. Yes i have high expectations of my self and others that never get meet. “They often have an aversion to non-democratic authority” fuck yes. But i don’t feel smart or gifted o.O

I’m introverted, emotionally stunted-well not really I ust do not see the point in a lot of emotions that others feel in certain situations-reasons eems better, aversion to authority fits, the perfectionism and the fear of failure fit as well.
But then again I would not say i’m gifted.
Because I have done nothing special like invent some idea or item to change the world.
I just work as a cubicle jockey and I’d rather be moving furniture if it paid enough and I could do it all alone.
Come to think of it if I could do my current job in a room alone all day I’d probably be somewhat satisfied.
Book called Nurture Shock by Po Bronson (and a co-author whose name I don’t recall) has a chapter that reviews fascinating research regarding what happens to children’s motivation when they are told that their intelligence is the primary reason they have done well at something…..
in sum children then believe:
-they shouldn’t need to work hard and be persistent
-and when they have failed it is likewise proof they are not intelligent
-learning in a group/comparisons, and school become frightening, authority figures become judges not mentors I’d surmise
