Not very good. Day 11 quitting smoking after smoking again for 6 weeks coming back off a 6 month quit. Feels like day 1 still. Might be a cup or two over on the coffee as well

I thought you drank tea. Your pretense has weakened, but good lord you don't cope well with being called out by anyone. Is it arrogance, narcissism, stupidity? Do share your personal conclusions.

Manic dissociation as a cummulative effect of nicotine withdrawl coupled with recovering from near catatonia about 10 to 15 years back from frequent high dosage LSD usage while exploring my interests firsthand in the late 90s and early aughts before backing away from the edge and deciding to pursue gnoticisim from a more scholarly angle as a result.

*wink*

But what do i know about psychology.

Definitely not stupidity though. Mensa application came back with 138 at age 35, a 4 point slip from testing in third grade that returned 142 and qualified me for GATEs accelerated program. Hard to know if the LSD caused the slip, or several years of docility, ya know?

On the note of narcissism i dont think so, the tricky thing is narcissisim exists in blind spot so most people wouldnt know. My ex is a narcissist though, so i had a fair amount of exposure to her trickery and i dont really have a lot of issues of admitting when im wrong, accepting personal accountability for my actions and what not:hallmark indicators of narcissism.

When im not weening from nicotine, i seem to be fairly even keel, more self obsessed with oerfecting my own actions and self improvement but i do tend to ruminate so theres some tendencies toward ocd in idle.

I dont really subscribe to superiority ideologies but i am fairly astute when others have inferiority complexes and project the reverse onto me because of how they view themselves. Im fairly direct and will speak through a demure facade if theres something about someone i dont like, especially furtive behavior. I take it as an insult to my intelligence.

I dont really have much faith in the psychological industry anymore since there arent very many actual psychologists left, most of the ones i know pursu9ng that avenue cheated on their classwork off of me to pass their undergraduate classes and the entire psych industry is much in bed with the pharmaceutical industry now.

I prefer to live a drug free life most of the time, unless i intentionally want to eat some mushrooms or something for the spiritual insights they may offer.

Likewise, the DSM V personality inventory is a faulty diagnosis tool becuase it relies heavily on projection to ascertain a diagnosis. This is precisely why sociopaths that know they are sociopaths are so easily able to avoid detection on the test. Furthermore, when youve seen as much of the shady shit ive seen tweakers and other undesirables i used to associate with do, its kind of hard to say i agree strongly with the statement that people are inherently trustworthy etc even though i know thats what i am supposed to answer with if im a normal naive fool.

Conversely, i remained relatively "good" through all of that, never hurt people that i didnt have to out of self defense, paid for my own recreational imbibing without scamming and conning people, holding down a full time job and paying my own way throughout all my life so i exist in this area where i know how to be a shady predatorial asshole if i wanted to, its just not in my disposition to be that guy.

I meant it too. His petty resentful trolling was preventing the conversation from travelling in more meaningful directions.
