It's burnout not necesarily related to being 'gifted'. However, I think the idea/article is missing another type of burnout, the one that I have experienced more recently. I had a teacher that once or twice would tell my class we could do great things in the future, but it was to encourage us to keep going (because we (my high capable classmates and I) were socially ostracized a bit at my school and needed the reminder) Kids in high cap programs are told they have great potential etc, but this isn't always a bad thing. I was fortunate to have parents that praised my hard work and dedication, not my natural talents.

They were told that they could be anything they wanted and that they could go anywhere they wanted, because they were just that smart. As a child, they found encouragement and awe from the adults around them. "The burned-out gifted kid is someone who has been paralyzed by their own potential, says The Outline. (I mean, I guess I'm technically a 'gifted kid', so I was interested if this applies to me)
I recently saw the term "Gifted Kid Burnout" online ( -Not my school, just a random website), and I was like, hmm what's this?
