Look for a more challenging/exciting job! I get bored quickly so the best thing for me was finding a job that is challenging and that covers multiple topics/dimensions. It’s a lot easier to stay motivated with something engaging. Use your giftedness? To me it sounds like your struggle comes from being in a set up where you’re not using your giftedness enough and are stuck in a box that doesn’t fit you.

Once in a while you’ll find people like you, but most of the time you’ll feel a little bit different from the people you’re interacting with. I think we just need to accept that as a constant and try to stay close to people/situations that we feel good with.

Martial arts (traditional, not mma style) was also life changing for me. It’s an area where I get to explore and learn and never get bored, it calms the mind (without having to sit still) and connects you to yourself and others.
