edit: well, everyone i personally know --bunch of us all over our 40s now-- that fit both the `gifted` and `doctor` parts, are also all in various depths of the `anxious` scale

[hyc@mastodon.social]

@dramypsyd clearly you're an overachiever

[kennethbousquet@mastodon.social]

@dramypsyd Furthermore,
The problem is getting deeper.
With all what's going on the news these days,
it is changing the people perception of what life really is all about and what life should be.
Now, we see a lot of people that are desperate
not recognising themselves in a world that has so much changed.

@dramypsyd I'm going to finish that caftan! I didn't say *which* Christmas.

[brucemirken@mas.to]

@dramypsyd And plenty of us are neither.

@dramypsyd well played

@dramypsyd I was gonna say the intersection of those two sets has high cardinality.

[mason@partychickens.net]

@dramypsyd And some of us are neither. I pick up hobbies and rarely let them go, and I grimace when I fail and try to figure out how to not fail next time, but to the best of my knowledge I am not a doctor.

@dramypsyd@ohai.social
doctors with several abandoned patients?

[thorcik@mastodon.com.pl]

@dramypsyd whoa, no need to attack me like that on 8 AM

[bernardsheppard@mastodon.au]

@dramypsyd some of us dropped out of medicine for *reasons* and learned coping mechanisms that allowed us to pass as neurotypical before it was accepted that neurodiversity could have utility in the workplace

[slotos@toot.community]

@dramypsyd

What do you mean „or”?

[kyonshi@dice.camp]

@dramypsyd damn I could have been a doctor?

wait. I consciously decided against that career.
hmmm.
