I felt a chill.

I got to go to a “gifted and talented” program in elementary, and I’m convinced the teachers manipulated the test results or whatever got me into it just to get me out of their hair once in a while

A familiar refrain. "If you're so smart, how come you're not rich?"

Costume?! This is my daily outfit.

Probably won't be a millionaire but you can still be lots of things.

It's because I have a strong sense of justice and I don't like exploiting people, in contrast to the rich

Oh and also because meritocracy is a lie

Lots of things, so many things, including

• homeless
• institutionalized
• dead

Basically. But still I heard it from elementary school on.

Or self-employed, homeowner and have a 4 years wage in savings.

ADHD is a speed bump, not a brick wall.

Just diagnosed, needed to hear that. 07

Once a year I share this with my pals.

Some of us were just regular, you know? XD

Fuck you. Is what I would say if I engaged with your dumbass.

> be me
> be "gifted"
> family immediately pull all support
> claim any cry for help is just "attention seeking"
> stepmother goes on tirades about how children are getting spoiled, even calls Bill Gates a "spoiled stupid brat" for that his parents let to run his business in their garage -> Obviously means that their car was rusting in the rain, while Bill didn't want to work a real job

Because the rich are bastians of intelligence

my school called it talented and gifted, or TAG. GAT sounds way cooler
