Sometimes you just feel different. You kept thinking that would change, but it hasn't. Instead, it's gotten harder to manage. You're tired of hiding.
You've tried to change to be "normal" but it's exhausting and you can't keep masking.
Everything is supposed to be easy for you, and it isn't. You don't know why.
You've been told your whole life "you have so much potential!" and you're terrified you're not fulfilling it.
You're doing your best, but it's never good enough for anyone else.
You just want to be seen as yourself for a minute and not as a role model, a disappointment, or a problem.
As a parent, you worry about your kid, but other parents don't understand the challenges your child is facing and even think you don't deserve to have concerns. Something isn't working and you need more support.
Our world is often hard to live in. Whether you are neurodivergent, gifted, or 2e, many parts of society are not designed with your needs in mind and it can be exhausting. We live in a world that often doesn't understand the needs or desires of gifted/2e/neurodivergent teens, young adults, and adults, and that can create huge amounts of stress, anxiety, and even burnout as you try to navigate these systems that aren't set up for you.
Maybe you're blaming yourself for being gifted, neurodivergent, or 2e, or wishing you weren't. Maybe you're trying to hide that you are gifted, 2e, or neurodivergent. Maybe you don't even really understand all the ways in which being gifted, neurodivergent, or 2e has impacted you and you want to explore. Maybe you wish your teen or young adult could understand themselves as a gifted, 2e, or neurodivergent person.
