Yes, discovering that my kid is very bright has shed a light on my own existence. Really, completely... rewrote my story as a child. It also explains my parents characteristics (and all the intensity and craziness that goes with that) and how as a child I might have interpreted all that. And thus, how I turned out.
I don't ever feel bright ... but that list. Isn't it strange? I see that list and I think -- you mean NORMAL people aren't like that? Crap... then I am 'different'! haha
My parents who were sensitive and intense people always said I was sensitive and intense -- but did it in a way as if there was something wrong with me. They denied their own intensities and made me out to be the problem child even though in restropect I was really a decent child. The adult's denial of their own issues -- the child can see it. Though may not be able to verbalize it.
It is a very good list. It is an ongoing thing to resolve and accept oneself. Isn't it?
