Today, Stephan Boschat gives us his vision of giftedness through the Gifted Interview. Thank you, Stephan! To have a visceral need to enjoy everything life has to offer and above all to love and be loved! I went to see a speech therapist. She detected a stammering syndrome in me. A neighbor of stuttering. The words or syllables overlap because the ideas want to come out too quickly. The realisation was accompanied by other factors. I understood what my own frame of reference was.
So I stopped struggling to adapt to the imposed frame of reference and continued to create my own. I realised that I was alone at the wheel of my vehicle and that I could press the accelerator. At my own pace. I allow myself to accept that my pace is not that of others and above all that I do not have to rely on others to suggest or worse, impose the right tempo.
I talk about it very little. It arouses curiosity. For some people, it raises questions and is often taken for granted by those who know the subject or who know me well.
Fear of suffering from the gaze of others. And at the same time, I want to assume this difference that has made me suffer a little all my life through the eyes of others. This deep awareness that everything is absurd and that it is necessary to give an existential meaning to this life. That the term is overused.
That the word in itself does not make it possible to understand what it is about. That it gives the impression that one is a coward if one exposes it.
