People say that I am gifted but I think I am an idiot and being gifted is just a curse of higher expectations.

Gifted: can learn things easily or can pick up on things easily (musical prodigies, math wizzes, etc)

Smart: one who has learned a lot about a subject or array of subjects.

Mostly though, people tell you that as a faux-compliment to get on your good side or take advantage of you, at least that has been my experience as a “gifted” autistic man (the reason i include autistic is because many “gifted” people I know are also autistic)
