I had been searching for ways to reflect on my existential thoughts in a positive way and this article made me feel more capable of reframing my introspection than I thought possible.

This isn’t the first time I have felt this way in my life but it is the first time I have not felt alone in this feeling. Even just reading through this has made me feel a sense of peace that I desperately needed tonight. Thank you.

I too, keep coming back to it. I pray I can find someone with half your understanding of giftedness to help my child. He’s only 9 and asks the questions you used as examples, and I already fear deep depression and future mental torment due to existential depression. We need resources so badly.

In addition to my native Indian philosophies I thoroughly enjoys and helps myself to develop a more inclusive worldview. Thank you so much for briefly articulating the existential aspect’s from the western philosopher’s and psychologist’s.

I only recently read about ‘gifted’ persons (admittedly that term feels smugly cringe, I saw myself better represented by ‘intense’ or ‘overstimulated’) and this felt like a solid literature review on theories around my own behaviour.

The piece was intensely helpful for me as a personel resource. Thank you so much to the author. Truly I am grateful, and your writing absolutely slaps.

It’s is interesting to read this and reflect.
