“Gifted individuals’ everyday behaviors make them seem unusual to others. But giftedness is not a deficiency. It does not have to be met with dismay, isolation, or loneliness. It can be a beautiful way of meeting the world—with curiosity and depth of feeling and passion. However, gifted individuals must learn the most important step toward self-love: they must embrace their whole gifted self.”
