I was some sort of prodigy in almost everything I used to do as a kid - hitlersblackedwaifu - 19-01-2026
Kickboxing: Won multiple tournaments at regional level and qualified for nationals many times but never competed
Sailing: Finished around ~80 spot from 500+ competitors at nationals with optimist class boat (not great but way above avg)
Sprinting: Top 20 at nationals in 200m (I legit believe I would be top 5 if I trained hard)
Math: Top 3 regional in Thales and Euclides math competitions for my age.
Scored near perfect score in Math Physics and Chemistry for the entry exam for university.
Social life on hold especially since 2013 when I switched schools but that's another story.
Then I turn 18, I get ran over by a car, start rotting in bed, soon after I blow my knee out from jogging on concrete, I develop depression and completely give up my studies, I lose all my friends and fail miserably on every aspect in life. Crazy run.
But at least I'm semi-relevant on some forum with 10 users so hey.

A prodigy is (usually a child) exceptionally good at something, closely associated with that silly word used for intelligent people... gifted, but sometimes, due to bizarre quirks of nature, is simply precocious
In most cases, a prodigy doesn’t become a genius, but if you were a prodigy (forgive the repetition), you can be proud of it! It means you are not retarded (at least not severely retarded, retardation in the broad sense seems to be something that belongs to you)
