The Loneliness of Being a Genius
Many people think that it must be great to be a child prodigy. You're smarter than everyone - even your teachers. All your friends are jealous because you don't have to work in school. Your parents are really proud of you and they never complain about your schoolwork.
Unfortunately, for most prodigies, the statements above are incorrect. Many child prodigies have lonely, friendless childhoods. Why? Because their intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and chronological ages are very different. Even a very young prodigy may have the intelligence of an adult, but he or she still has the social and emotional level of a young child.
Research on the development of children's friendships shows that friends think of themselves as similar to each other. This means two children who are friends like the same activities and they act and speak in similar ways. Many highly gifted children can find no one who is like them, so they end up lonely and isolated.
For example, Ian is six. His IQ is over 200, and he is passionate about dinosaurs. Many children of all ages also like dinosaurs. However, Ian rarely finds someone to talk to about his passion.
Other six-year-olds know too little. Even older children don't know enough. And they don't find his knowledge interesting. In fact, they often don't like him because he keeps correcting them. Ian can only talk about dinosaurs to knowledgeable adults.
The adults are kind, but he is not their social or emotional equal. He's still a child. Therefore, Ian never feels he has a true friend because no one really shares his interests at the same level.
