[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was gifted. I skipped a full grade. I took advanced classes. I started taking the SAT in 7th grade, and outscored my older sibling. I had a nearly perfect score on all standardized tests. Academics were and are super easy for me.

I also struggled socially and was an odd kid. I spent a lot of time reading by myself. I am now a very average adult. I have a good job and I do well at a lot of things. I am smart. I still enjoy reading. I think ive done well professionally because i am logical and have a high processing speed and pick up new tasks quickly. But being gifted meant very little in my life overall.

Start telling this other parent that you are sorry their kid carries this burden, it sounds difficult and too bad they are not more nornal! Gifted means next to nothing outside of elementary school academics.[/quote]

HHI for your  "professional" "good" job? 
I bet you're pretty high percentile in renumeration for the effort you put into your work. Decent pay for low effort is a common tradeoff ther smart people make, and still a high end position relatively to effort, even if it's not glamorous or impactful
