This is great to read. I was always told to Mellow Out, your too intense etc. My husband is my first partner who does not complain so I wondered if he found me intense so I asked him today. He said yes but somehow it does not bother him. He is very smart and in my book I imagine he is HG if not PG. He is a PhD scientist with a lot of publications etc. His intensity is more like a laser light when it comes through. He also is much more mellow than me physically. I am like tons of energy vibrating and he just coasts along. I am so grateful for his acceptance of me and I don't feel so intense because its not meeting a constant wall of rejection. My oldest DD is full of energy and I have to try really hard not to tell her to mellow out or be more quiet etc. I do work with her to try and take a breath and find center. We both need exercise to be mellower. Great thread thanks! I guess I should add a disclaimer that I don't know if I am gifted. My husband thinks so but I guess he might have to say that.....lol
