Oh boy I sure do love being perceived as a gifted child I hope I don't end up being a perfectionist burnout with depression, anxiety, unfulfilled expectations and no real interests or goals

A wide-eyed Shiba Inu sits on a couch beneath text about being perceived as a gifted child.

It is sent as a relatable reaction to gifted-kid pressure and emotional exhaustion. EN: A wide-eyed Shiba Inu sits on a couch beneath text about being perceived as a gifted child.
