Or just millennials and some of gen Z. We all grew up being told constantly that we were special and gifted, could do anything we wanted if we put our mind to it.

Accepting that we're actually just another nameless joe-dipshit in an ocean of millions of people that could easily replace us without causing even so much as a hiccup to society... was a hard pill for a lot of us to swallow.

Nowadays I thought "gifted kid" was just a sarcastic way to describe most of us: average at best.
