If you’re anything like me, I expected the “grown up” world to be easier. I always thought I’d be able to stay up late because no one would tell me to go to bed and if I wanted to eat popcorn and yogurt for breakfast, hey, why not?  What I never did count on was being pulled in so many directions. Or the intensities of emotion, or the amount of stress I can put myself through and come out alive, although rarely where I planned.
One of the best resources I found was articles and perspectives of gifted adults at the SENG website. Â At least I wasn’t the only one wondering about my own depth of emotion, ability to drive myself nuts and a set of perspectives I see as “Oh, wow, you too? Â You mean I’m not alone?” Â If you feel lost, some of them might make you feel less alone, too.
