If you are struggling with such issues, you might find some of the resources at Hoagies Gifted Page helpful. I don't read it myself anymore, in part because it is the smart version of poor little rich boy. In other words, it whines a lot about "Oh woe is me. I am so smart and it is ruining my life." But if you are having social challenges as a smart person, that isn't necessarily a bad thing to be exposed to.

You can also search for social and emotional needs of the gifted for additional material. You could look up Beyond IQ as well.



i never got the self pity vibe from hoagies' page. i felt it was more explanatory than comiserational. it's a great resource, though.
