Re: star Children
I've had similar problems because I was a GaT (Gifted and Talented) kid, and everyone always told me 'you can be anything you want to be - you could even be president!', but never received any kind of guidance or mentoring to find out exactly what 'anything I wanted to be' actually was. No one wanted to 'squelch my creativity' so I picked up and dropped new interests & hobbies like they were hot potatoes, never was encouraged to dedicate myself to anything because I should 'try to find my own special niche', and by the time I was about 12 or 13, that 'gifted and talented' schtick got lost in the shuffle of the public jr. high/high school system and the rest of my family & guardians seemed to believe that 'gifted and talented' meant 'super-expensive private school tuition'.
So now I'm a 37-year-old slacker with a dead-end job. Yeah, feeling real gifted and talented right about now, lol.
