IceBrand Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Like if you never have to put effort into something and one day are forced too, wouldn't you just reach a mental block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lantairu Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Even though this is going to sound kind of conceited, I've heard from lots of people (and I kind of can see why) that I am naturally good at drums. But because of that I actually put more effort into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaze Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Overall, it's a good thing, but too much talent and it almost always comes with its own neuroses. It's true that kids who are good in the beginning often get to that point where the mysticism of the prodigy wears off and you are like your peers, then you have to actually put the effort in to keep up. Many, instead of facing that effort, grow disillusioned and gain a ton of insecurity. They won't go for things that are hard and may become narcissistic, latching onto anything they are already good at, and refusing to nurture their ability. But talent that always has it easy has it even worse, because they won't know how to put in the effort when it really counts, and will make light of dire circumstances. It's like how teenagers think they invincible. If you never get taken down a peg as a kid, you'll keep thinking it until it gets you crushed, or killed.
