God I hate the label 'gifted' so fucking much. Ever since I was a kid. All I can think when I hear that is "oh yeah? You think it's such a gift, you try having my mind for a week". The fucking depression and alienation and isolation of being neurodivergent is never mentioned or considered, just "oh you were a quiet kid and got As in school, you must have such a gift".

"My mutant power is having so much empathy I am constantly depressed at the state of everything."
