Maybe my number one giftedness myth.

The one where, when people discover that I was ever considered gifted, they think they know something important about me, or the way I think.  Or it makes them take out a piece of me and highlight it and look at it differently than they once did.  I don’t know how to describe this, but it really cuts me deeply, and I can’t explain why.  I can’t explain why something that's supposed to be positive hurts so badly, feels like being sliced into pieces, scrutinized, and put under a microscope.
