Why do some people hate gifted kids?

[RoboJesus]

I really don't understand it. Even on here I've seen so much dislike of children who are born naturally smart. I doubt anyone will own up to it but I thought I would try

OP “gifted children are so hated”
everyone else “no they aren’t it’s the parents”
one poster “I know! Isn’t it terrible that there are people who hate these kids”
OP “exactly! I don’t understand it”

Sadly that is almost every thread with this poster.

I would imagine (especially judging by others of the same vuew as me on this thread) that what is probably happening is the OP is being insufferably obnoxious in real life and either is alienating people/pissing people off, or their child has acquired the OP's equally aloof and superior approach and is pissing off their peers.
I'd put money on any dislike being nothing to do with being gifted and everything to do with being a bit of an arse to people.

Or maybe the OP is in total denial that she just wants to see the positive side of gifted, which sometimes comes with a price, doesn't want to admit negative side, and blame everything on everyone else.

Honestly, when I came on here, I did sound different, more PFB. I got negative responce, as well as positive ones.It's really up to you OP, if you carry on like this, you will never get meaningful responce. You should better move on to somewhere else. But if you open up a bit more, there are people who can offer you a lot of help.

I think I have known you for years, since your dc was a toddler. At least I believe you have a genuinely gifted child. But also I am aware your thread always ended up same way. What's the point of that?

I think you're a very balanced poster who's really worth listening to on these matters. If the OP has any sense they'd have taken on board what people like you (and others as I'm sure there's another person I see lots on these threads who give regular great advice) instead of posting the same old 'the world hates me and nobody can offer my child anything' nonsense time after time.
I do think it's their attitude that is the issue (probably offline as much as online).

irvineoneohone, that is a very thoughtful and measured response. OP, please listen. You may not realise how dismissive your answers have appeared at times. Most of your threads have come across as saying how intelligent your child is in comparison to all others. They could be, who knows, as intelligence follows a wide distribution curve. However, if this is all you wish to say, under the guise of asking for help, then you are bound to annoy people.

As I have said, I find the claims you make of your child's abilities hard to believe, but that is another matter.
