Wow, Mims. Your comment just gave me goosebumps. Your feelings are totally understandable. My article here is just the tip of the iceberg… it’s just a superficial taste of what’s called “gifted theory.”

I get that you’re overwhelmed, immobilized, lonely… and I want you to know that there’s a whole body of literature and other people who struggle with similar issues.

Would you be willing to come over to my blog and read more about it? I think you’ll see that you’re not alone in this.

Come find me at http://www.saraharrier.com. And reach out anytime. I was born to talk about this stuff with people. <3

I’m glad you stumbled here, Kaz! There are other names for it too… like “gifted.” I’d invite you to read the book The Gifted Adult, by Mary-Elaine Jacobsen… and tell me what you think!

Procrastination is turning more and more into an issue for me these days. I’ve been a perfectionist my whole life and i don’t like it all the time. Currently, i am interested in things very different from each other and it’s hard for me to decide where i should dedicate my time. I really have no idea what i should be doing. I kind of feel overloaded but that doesn’t make sense; to be overloaded by one’s own interests? I’m lonely a lot and it makes me despise myself because i feel like i’m too sentimental. To rid myself of loneliness i text my friends but i find myself bored in a matter of minutes. It’s quite annoying to be all of the things mentioned above and not know what to do with them. I feel like this “brilliance” has chosen the wrong person to occupy.

I stumbled on this by accident, but yes I do definitely recognise myself here. At least I now know there is a name for it!

Yeah, you are! I just clicked on your name and saw that you’re an entrepreneur, bodybuilder, and DJ. Sounds like multipotentiality to me! For some people, it’s absolutely necessary to focus on one thing at a time; you’re totally right. Thanks for the comment.

I tend to be a very visual person. I also tend to be multi-talented in certain areas and that’s a temptation to work on everything.

Focus on one goal at a time.

Thanks for the article.
