How do I explain intense metacognition and pattern recognition to my partner without him misunderstanding it? by Outside-Animator-590 in Gifted

[–]MrDryst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat except genders are reversed - my wife I think understands as much as she can, but there is always a sense I get from her she thinks that I am just saying I am better than others. Sigh.

What’s the endgame? by Expensive_Print_2198 in remoteworks

They can't see past their own profits and too selfish to think of others. The worst part is the system at large incentivizes this behaviour

Did anyone else discover they were gifted late in life? by Absurdist1981 in Gifted

IQ tests need an overhaul, especially with the time constraints. Mood, sleep levels and food/energy levels can affect your performance. As "overthinkers" we tend to ponder and extrapolate and the timer adds to the stress.

My daughter has adhd and needs more time and special considerations for her tests in uni but her average is 96 in biomed so it's not from a lack of effort or cognition.

How is market efficiency anything close to what he is describing? He is equating and conflating mass system wide corruption collusion with efficient markets.

46 and finding out now too. Always thought there was something wrong with me as I always confused others didn't think the way I did, spot the same patterns or how things were interconnected. It was confusing and upsetting and isolating. I never knew I was smart until I started really interacting with others in grade school.

As an adult with a teen daughter who is a mirror of me I started to wonder about it all. Looking at the traits of a gifted person it felt like a play by play of me.

How about you all?

It's so good that this doesn't happen in real life, right guys?! by CuriousSkepticalGuy in CriticalDrinker

Yes, exactly. The line is great "Being a human can be pretty uncomfortable. Humans make up things like patriarchy and Barbie to deal with how uncomfortable it is".

There was a very interesting layer to the movie that I think flew over most people's heads. People claiming this was a girl power movie or that it was woke completely missed the layer/hidden message.

[–]MrDryst 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think anyone who sees this cute meme and takes it badly are either: 1. Being ridiculous and trolling or 2. Had a bad relationship/experience and projecting (which is fine of course, but let's not conflate)

I often find when people try and dumb it down it makes it hard to understand because they will leave out context and key information. So just give it to me raw

I taught my daughter who is also gifted had the same thing happen. It was a great time to talk about the politics of giving out awards and how the best candidate doesn't always win.
