No, it was my older brother who was the '''''''''gifted'''''''' kid, he was quiet at school and never got into trouble, got near perfect grades and never spoke to anyone and when he came home all he would do was bitch, criticise, do exaggerated impressions of people and nit-pick other people's behaviour and what he thought they were doing 'wrong'. He never really got bullied though whereas I got bullied more or less the moment I set foot in school, the closest I ever came to becoming a ''''''''gifted''''''' kid was having the school bring in a foid psychiatrist to pick my brains at the age of 10 or some shit idk and having her tell my family that I had the academic capability of a 14y/o. They brought her in because I started talking about suicide in class one day without understanding what it meant and I got into trouble, I just heard it from my older brother at home, he knew that he could not talk about it in school otherwise he would get into trouble, whereas it was fine to do so in private at home, I did not understand that at the time and also could not understand how people were allowed to get away with things like that. He was always invited to people's parties and I was not, I was like the retarded autist freak kid that always tried to talk to people and got rejected and nobody knew what to do with. He is one of the most insecure and misanthropic people I know and I always felt pity for him, he literally cannot do almost anything that does not involve putting on a front for people in authority (particularly employers and people who grade academic work) and turning in a '''''perfect''''' performance every time, an absolute wagecuck wannabe normie square, he has never smoked a cigarette, tried drugs, seen an escort or been in trouble with the feds in his life, I have done all four of these things numerous times, at one point he was thinking of becoming a fed because he thought it would mean that he would get to do wrestling moves on people and get away with it, he would always practice these on me and I would let him out of pity because I knew that he would get his ass kicked if he ever tried them on anyone else and because I did not really have anywhere else to go to get away from it, whenever I tried to fight back he would throw a shit fit and scream and cry and bitch and call me an autistic retard so I just decided to let him do it because it meant that there would be less BS and arguing with other family members in the house later on
If you were not a '''''''gifted kid''''''''' at school don't feel too bad about it, it's a meaningless label like in my country the staff make the speccy cruel middle-class future fed/glowie jobsworth bug-people prefects because they know that they don't really have any other friends and want to give them a ridiculous humiliating duty, if you ever saw that 'i am a prefect' video of the dude sperging out at a group of 'chav' boys it sums up what prefects are like and how they are seen at school in my country

It's a tale as old as time, like how you get these upstanding ''''''''''Christian''''''''''' pillars of the community who have like 5TB of cheese pizza on their hard drive and like to touch choirboys, how you get glowies who probably spy on or molest their daughters or nieces and love nothing more than kissing the asses of the elite while gangstalking, being cruel to and ruining the lives of white working-class low SMV males (or niggas a few decades ago), how you get moderators on Reddit and Discord who groom kids into meeting up, sending nudes or becoming trans, there was a famous dude in my country who after he died it turned out that he was molesting kids in hospitals and children's homes and the main broadcasting network covered it up for years, you have famous politicians and members of the aristocracy who do Bohemian Grove and Eyes Wide Shut type of shit, all of these terrible things which are only made possible through societal institutions of privacy and social power, layers upon layers of lies and deception and putting on a public performance while being a reprehensible piece of shit in private
TL;DR I was not a ''''''gifted''''' child and I don't mind that much because it is not a measure of your character or virtue, maybe not even your IQ, just how well you are able to tick boxes and answer questions in the way you are expected to answer them, thank you for coming to my TED Talk
