Exactly what are you “gifted” in? It’s a really ambiguous piece of vocabulary if you ask me. The term to me means:
You are so particularly excellent in a skill, hobby, sport, etc….. that it couldn’t be possible that you had the capacity to naturally learn what ever it is you’re “gifted” in; rather, it is just part of your DNA, almost unexplainable.

However, let’s make a complete 180:
Often times, I have heard the word “gifted” used to describe a simpleton, idiot, fool, buffoon, etc….

So…. do you trust the people who call you “gifted”?
