As a child, i was born gifted with arts, from music,painting,sculpture,composing,singing and other form of arts at a very very young age. But as i realize that having to be gifted had its drawbacks. Being artistic means being sensitive in a way, so it really is a pain knowing that getting hurt emotionally hits me back at 200% more then what i should really feel, and it eats me 24 hours a day. Often i ask myself, why was i given this gift. i would rather be normal and live a life of simplicity then being born with special talents yet wit a price to pay. If there any gifted people out there who would like to share their personal experience? thank you.

um.. everything has its own negative and positive sides. plus, everyone has their own gifted ability. and i think everyone is dealing with their own 'negative sides' and problems. so, ure not the only one who deals with such a stuff. dun worry.
wat im trying to say is that, just be grateful with wat u have. try to take as much as advantages as possible with both of your negative and postive sides of the gift. u never kno wat u got till its gone. trust me on this!
p.s. if u live 'normal' without ur gifts, ure gonna wonder.. 'wow! i wish i could paint or write lyk he does'.

Being Gifted is just That, A GIFT. Yes it can be lonely at the top, but you have been given special talents to use to help improve the world we live in. It would be very boring being average. Yes, you are right that you feel things more emotionally because you have been in the spotlight all your life. People are jealous of people who are smarter than them, and tend to bully them. You may feel that you are paying a price to be gifted. What exactly does that price involve? Not wanting to Hang out with people because you feel out of place? Not going to parties when underage drinking and sex is going on? I didnt have many friends growing up, and I put my talents to work as soon as I could, got a job and carried on. Dont worry so much about things. you'll be out of school and thats a part of your life you never have to go back to........SO don't sweat the petty stuff and dont pet the sweaty stuff and you'll be fine. good luck to you hun

i never believe as being over sensitive issue. what i believe is that you take care of your things and i take care of mine. if you're gifted, you're suppose to be able to think better than others and not allow yourself to be badly influenced by others opinion. i suggest that you don't allow any bad experiences to cause damage to yourself. you should have some kind of leadership which you can use to help to improve others. since you're gifted, you should be better than anyone else and don't think of becoming a normal person. it is silly to think that way. and what price did you pay? don't be weaken by rascal. you know people are sometimes jealous of you. so, stay strong. don't let anyone take advantage of you, if you have to, hit them real hard.

It is better to be born skill-less and learn than to be born gifted and do what you do best.
