    Unfortunately logic doesn’t solve emotional problems. Gifted and intelligent people are much more likely to be depressed and anxious.

      I was diagnosed “gifted” in grade school, and those were the absolute worst years of my life. I’m still recovering from how much psychological and emotional damage I took on from that time. Emotional intelligence is real, and it should not be slept on.
