Subsequent pathways for unusual children

• A: self-assurance goes down because you think “I can’t do X that usually people can do
  • It’s usually parents and teachers who nip it in the bud.
• B: “Combination” that thinks “I am special and the world is stupid not to understand that.”
  • I think it’s good up to “I’m special.”
    • The source of self-affirmation is the belief that you are special.
  • The world just doesn’t get it.”
    • This is a common fact in most cases (B2).
  • The bad part is that this combination creates “disrespect for others”.
    • That contempt attracts incomprehension, so a feedback loop occurs.
• C: “Growing up in a greenhouse” where “I’m special and the world understands that.”
  • A case of an evaluator who happens to be a good evaluator.
    • I entered a different pattern at B2.
  • They fail to learn the fact that “the world doesn’t understand.”
    • A case where the moment you know about it, your worldview is broken and you panic.
    • Cases that become B after knowing
    • Cases where the scammer understands and is successfully taken advantage of before the individual understands that he or she “doesn’t know it.”
• D: Exposure to a community of unusual children and becoming “normal there”
  • By experiencing both communities where you are treated as “unusual” and communities where you are treated as “normal,” you come to feel that others’ evaluations of you as “normal/not normal” are subjective to them and not to your own value
