Hello Former Gifted Kid. Stop comparing yourself to others. Focus on what you already provide to people, not to what you push yourself to provide every day. You are allowed to mess up, to be lazy, to take a break. Take advantage of the free time you get, and stop spending it worrying. You often admire others, but you don't realize how much people admire you. You're honest without being cruel, and are the friend everyone in their life needs, even though you don't see it. You're more talented than you give yourself credit for, and because of this, people overlook you sometimes, which only makes you give yourself less credit. Step outside the cycle and realize that those close to you see your worth. Not to mention how fun you can be when you really let go. It's a rare occasion, but a very special one. Everything I'm saying is something everyone in your life knows, but yet you still don't see it. Learn to, and just because you don't have the same interests as you did before doesn't mean that you're a burnout.
