make me feel good (like Bath and Body Works Jasmine Vanilla)
And yeah, my family was notorious for emotional blackmail. And long after leaving home, they still continued their drama for years. But I've learned how to keep myself distant…

I'm going to work backwards.
Yes, I did go through all this too. Anger and sadness, confusion and bewilderment (as in "how could a parent DO this to their own child?"
I think I would hold off on getting the Dr. Amen book,…

I suppose its just going to take some time. Grieving the loss of all ties with my parents and learning to stand on my own two feet simultaneously is excruciatingly painful. It feels like everything is a trigger and a reminder of what I…

Hmmm that makes sense. I saw that Change Your Brain, Change Your Life book at half price yesterday.
The inverted narcissist thing makes complete sense!! I read this book called "Children of the Self-Absorbed" and it was that…

I'm glad to have come across this site. Your stories are very similar to mine and that isn't something I can say too often. This encourages me greatly, and I hope to talk with you guys in-depth later on.
A little about me:
- Placed in my school's gt class around 1st grade.
- Went through another round of testing at 17
- An existential depression grips me.
I hope I can learn from you what you guys have to say. It would be nice talking with…

I am not exactly sure what to talk about on my first post, so I guess I will go for the topic on my mind as of late.
As I strive my hardest to achieve the impossible all on my own, it constantly reminds me of the isolation I feel. No one has ever stood by my side and encouraged me or told me I could do good things. I was 18 years old when the first adult looked me in the eye and said, "I believe in you." It was my vocal coach at the time and she would tell me nearly every lesson,…

OK, so I'm gifted. What do I do now? Just a thought on how to approach it.

OK, you might have decided you're gifted, your brain is a high-performance sportscar rather than a lumbering SUV, and you'll be more confident shouting out the answers to the television on the next gameshow. But what does it all mean?Since this is…Continue

Overexcitabilities -- What are they?
Started by Dan F in Basic Gifted Information. Last reply by Frank de Mink Dec 15, 2011. 9 Replies 0 Likes
In order to discuss overexcitabilities (OEs), we should first introduce where the term came from. For this first post I will be drawing from a number of different types of sources to provide a mixed view that concisely addresses OEs as an aspect of…Continue

About MGL
MyGiftedLife.org is not a high-IQ society or corporate entity. MGL is not a business, nor is it a formal charity. We do not currently operate on any grants or fund-raising. Our mission is to provide a place where people can provide fellowship, encouragement and information to each other when needed.
MGL is for gifted persons and those involved in their lives, including parents, families and friends. Educators, psychologists and other professionals are welcome, as are others who may simply want information about giftedness.
Mygiftedlife is a safe haven. It's a place where anyone who experiences life from a gifted perspective can share their unique selves and weave a common thread going beyond the tapestry of any usual forum to one based upon expanding awareness of experiences, self, others and the world we live in. Mygiftedlife is a place for delving deeper. I've come here and been understood when that seemed impossible. Gifted people and those advocating for gifted children navigate societal structures that present a great challenge. Support can be hard to find, but here it is.
"Hey, all the inane shallow chatter about stupid stuff at other forums got you down? Come here for more in depth and intelligent discussion about things that actually matter."
