- depersonalization - refusal of own principles, the opinion, identity;
- the increased emotionality;
- level of consciousness, feeling of the inner self, own world decreases;
- if the personality gifted, the group lowers, and even erases, its creative potential;
- the person becomes more disturbing, the interpersonal conflicts develop.

The original ideas of the gifted person are rejected by society because the majority cannot understand them. Besides, such personality is under strong psychological pressure, and similar pressure suppresses her development.
