Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Gifted Adult, How do you deal with perception?

Thank you Ellipses. A great way to find answers is by talking about the problems. I really appreciate yours and everyone's responses on this topic. It helps just knowing that others are dealing or have dealt with the same issues.

I identify with the same things when dealing with groups. I am often quickly identified by leaders or instructors who are insecure, or intimidated by me asking questions or presenting alternatives. And I am almost always labelled as a troublemaker and ignored. I do quite well with those who encourage feedback, and like a more blunt and open brainstorm.
