For almost 40 years, I felt as a person with poor social skills.
A few months ago, one of my son was diagnosed with adhd and a high IQ.
the adhd symptoms explanation resonated with my own life, so I went to consult. It resulted that I'm also gifted with an high IQ.
As I searched about this team, I learned that I don't really lack social skills, it's that my interests and my way to express them is not in the norm, so that only 1 or 2 percent of the persons I meet are aligned with me.
In addition, as many gifted persons, I'm really hard with myself, and I feel terrible at many domains where in fact, I'm quite good at.
In conclusion, I do not lack social skills, I'm just wired differently, and I have to accept that.
TL;DR; part:
So maybe are you in the same situation: not lacking skills, just wired differently?
Cheers :)
