Omg amazing this is a lifesaver
“Particularly prone to serious procrastination problems are children who grew up with unusually high expectations placed on them…or else they exhibited exceptional talents early on, and thereafter “average” performances were met with concern and suspicion from parents and teachers.”
Holy SHIT
WELL THEN
Yep.
They actually tested me for a learning disability in high school because I was consistently failing math.
They discovered that I actually scored in the 80th percentile in that sort of learning.
Problem was, in every other subject, I was in the 99.8th percentile.
I had never learned how to study because I never needed to—and then, when something proved to be even the slightest bit challenging, my brain went
“LOL nope this is impossible abort”
Meanwhile, this entire time I’m scraping by in subjects like English. The assignments I did turn in, I’d score top marks—but I’d avoid turning in projects I didn’t think were “good” enough.
Essentially, my brain had two settings: “100%” or “0%”.
This sort of Baby Genius shit makes kids and adolescents neurotic and self-destructive.
We learned about this in Child Development. And we learned to reward hard work and not good job. Like don’t say to a child, “oh you are so smart.” Say “Oh did worked so hard.” Be proud of the child, not the achievement.
Be proud of the child, not the achievement.
Decades of research have been done on this by Dr. Carol Dweck. When the emphasis is placed on effort (a factor people can control) rather than talent (an innate skill), it’s a lot easier to see mistakes as a learning opportunity rather than something you just won’t ever be good at. And kids who were encouraged by effort were also more willing to take on more challenging work and considered it a lot more fun, while the kids who were praised for their intelligence were reluctant to put themselves in a situation where they might lose that identifier as a “smart kid” by making mistakes, so they preferred to do work they were confident they could master. Also, the kids praised for effort wanted to compare their results to kids who got higher scores, to see where they made their mistakes, while those praised for intelligence wanted to compare their results to kids who scored lower, to reassure themselves.
Not only does this set up “smart” students for a lot of trouble when they enter college and start being regularly challenged, the effects last long beyond that. It can be very hard for the “you’re so smart!” kids to unlearn as they become adults and struggle with even common adult things, and are afraid to ask for help because of that lesson they learned from misguided praise that they are supposed to be smart and supposed to know the answers.
…Honestly +1 here. It’s very well researched and documented and yeah. Making the emphasis on “You succeed and we are proud of you b/c you are SMART as an intrinsic quality!” makes failure/setbacks/difficulty -TERRIFYING- b/c if you’re “smart” it doesn’t happen and if you fail that means you’re not smart and that’s what everyone’s drilled into you as your main point of worth.
And the rates of anxiety disorders among “gifted student” kids are kinda horrifying.

I’m just imagining Bucky dragging Rocket into a McDonald’s after a huge battle and Rocket passes out on a table and the entire place has to shut down lmao.
WAIT there’s more.
Bucky is at this point just totally confused about what’s acceptable in America in 2019 when you’re not Avenger vs. when you are and where Rocket comes from and has totally lost track of norms. He’s just exhausted, hunched over a little table eating chicken nuggets all beaten up in his Bucky outfit half falling asleep, Rocket passed right on the table, when a McDonald’s server who’s just trying to live slowly walks up.
Server: (clears their throat) Um…s-sir?
Bucky: (dazed, eating nuggets)
Server: Sir, you can’t have that animal in here?
Bucky: What animal?
Server: The um…that raccoon there. There are health codes.
Bucky: (nudging Rocket) Hey, Rocket.
Rocket: (turning over) Five more minutes.
Server: Uh
Bucky: (shrugs) He’s really tired, sorry. (nudges Rocket) ROCKET. We gotta go. You’re against health codes.
Rocket: (stirring awake) I’m what the hell?
Server: Oh my God.
Bucky: (mouth half full of nuggets) They said we gotta go because you’re against the health codes.
Rocket: (jumping to his feet, pointing at Server) WHAT THE HELL? HOW ‘BOUT YOUR FACE IS AGAINST HEALTH CODES! I JUST BEAT UP A GODDAMN SPACE WORM THE SIZE OF THIS JOINT AND YOU’RE TELLING ME-
Bucky: (sighs, gets up, sticks Rocket under his arm, grabs bag of nuggets) Sorry for the trouble.
Server: Uh
Rocket: (stuck under Bucky’s vibranium arm) GODDAMN DESCRIMINATION IS WHAT IT IS! YOU CALL THIS AMERICA! I KNOW CAPTAIN AMERICA, MY FRIEND, AND HE WOULD NEVER STAND FOR THIS-
Bucky: (mouth full of nuggets) He’ll get a kick out of this story though.

what we do in the shadows is the only modern day vampire fiction that is 100% realistic and believable even if only for the scene where Nick yells ‘TWILIGHT’ and Deacon is like ‘shut UP nick you’re not Twilight’
If you rearrange the letters in the light it spells alien
If you add in the partial letters touched by the light it’s “E.T. Alien” 👽
