A lengthy list that looks at the reality of When Giftedness Becomes a Burden.

Based on the comments over there, the last one in her list should have been "When you write about the challenges associated with being gifted and people don't like it and only want to hear happy thoughts, giftedness is a burden."

Celi was nice to those who left negative comments, but good grief. It just kind of proves the ENTIRE POINT she was making.
