“What exactly is the point of my life?” Do you wonder?
The viewpoints of those who raised you, as well as the zeitgeist of the time you were born and raised, all impact how much you will wonder who you are and continue to struggle with those big life questions most of us have at one point or another in our lives. Being highly intelligent (sometimes known as gifted) doesn’t necessarily help you to figure “it” out any more quickly than others … and knowing you’re smart can often contribute to your shame over “what’s wrong” with you. Like, “Why am I depressed?” “Why aren’t I more successful?” “And do people not like me because I’m too smart or because I’m not likeable in general?”
