I have already researched the topic, but the research doesn't give a clear cut answer for me. I never meant to trigger you. I simply said brain damage could be a contributing factor, I cannot prove that it's true, just like you cannot prove that it isn't. You shouldn't rule it out because it mind offend others to hear. I'm willing to consider numerous possibilities.

I think he means despite having health issues you can still be health to some degree if you take care of yourself, so you can still be happy despite being chronically unhealthy in some ways.

100% Incels spend way too much time reading fucking books about socialising and dating when what they should do is just go outside and talk to people. Social experience is what you need. Eventually you'll learn what to do. None of the charismatic guys who are good with women I know ever read books about how to talk to women, they were just socially experienced from youth and you just learn through trial and error IRL. TL;DR Stop reading about life too much and go out and experience it. Then you will know what to do. I think they simply lack confidence and are afraid of failing and want the perfect strategy. THey need to be prepared to accept fucking things up and embarrassing themselves and learning from their mistakes.

Good physical AND Mental health I'd assume.

Vegan for 7 years here. I don't know exactly what you ate on your vegan/vege diet so I cannot comment. Different people can react differently to the same diet. I don't know if it was your specific food choices that contributed towards this. This is why I've been getting blood tests every so often as a vegan, and I have no deficiencies. Did you go raw vegan or something?

It's not as simple as that. The level of self-centeredness you're going to have doesn't necessary increase and decrease proportionately with how in pain you are at all. He didn't say being self-centred means you're a bad person necessarily, but bad behaviour is often associated with it, such as exploiting and ruining other people for your own benefit without taking them into consideration. THere's plenty of people in pain who have been traumatized that aren't self-centered people, and what they go through often leads them to become more empathetic towards others.

Unfortunately it's one of those things of having power so people are forced to respect you, if you live in such a crap environment, you need power.

He's not wrong though.

He's not diagnosing anyone with selfishness, but people with Cluster B personality disorder tend to be quite self centered. It's just a fact. People with BPD often have Narcissistic traits as well. They tend to be manipulative.

Do something new. Hike. Be mindful of diet. Stop watching TV. If you've just started detoxing from unhealthy habits, realise it may take time for your to feel different.

You will die one day anyway, you have 1 shot at life.

Accept that you will be bored sometimes and shouldn't always look to stimulate yourself. What helped me is throwing away my xbox. I spend much more time walking outside now.

You've mentioned therapy and drugs, you haven't mentioned much about lifestyle. What sort of lifestyle were you living while trying to recover from this? Lifestyle made the biggest difference for me. I find that Lifestyle seems to be the biggest contributor many mental health issues.

I'd personally be just getting a mortgage on a decent property, have my own place, and just enjoy being financially secure, and live your life. I love having 5 figures in the back simply because it's there for security.

The whole thing about "nothing mattering" is the same sort of thing as people saying life has no meaning. But things can matter TO YOU. Just like things have meaning FOR YOU. Meaning could only ever be subjective because what gives something meaning is the value something brings to your life, and what brings value to you may not bring value to someone else. It's subjective but it also exists in whatever form matters. If you're in a state of mind where you think nothing matters, then you're depressed. I'd highly suggest avoiding drugs of any kind until you're in a better state of mind Life is not a bi-product of meaning, meaning is a bi-product of life.

All this Alpha, Beta, Sigma bullshit is amusing. So many people obsessed with their social status.

If Turkey Tom wants to focus on merely the parts of Actualized.org that he's concerned about, I don't consider that unreasonable.

I think I may have schizoid personality disorder. I feel similar to you, you should look it up.

3 out of 40... Interesting that I scored reasonably high on the psychopath test lol.

Your score from primary psychopathy has been calculated as 2.4. Primary psychopathy is the affective aspects of psychopathy; a lack of empathy for other people and tolerance for antisocial orientations. Your score from secondary psychopathy has been calculated as 2.6. Secondary psychopathy is the antisocial aspects of psychopathy; rule breaking and a lack of effort towards socially rewarded behavior. Interesting. I'm surprised I got such a high score tbh. I don't think the test is in depth enough.

The difference between them is emotional activity. Psychopaths are more born, and they tend to have low neuroticism and tend to appear more robot like, and lacking emotions in general, not just lacking pro-social emotions like guilty, empathy etc. Sociopaths are more made, and tend to have a greater range of emotions, often tend to be more impulsive, and tend to appear more human, but like the psychopath, they lack those pro-social feelings like empathy and guilt. They often tend to have mid to high neuroticism. Psychopath - Ted Bundy. Sociopath - Ailen Wunroos, dianne downs, casey anthony.

lol

Forget about the good guys/bad boys dichotomy, it's stupid. Be confident and don't be a pussy. You don't have to be a terrible person, just don't be too nice.

I experienced something similar in my jaw, but also in my nose and my brain as a whole. I caused myself some discomfort that lasted months and stopped focusing too hard during meditation. If you have ADHD or naturally weak attention span, you're having to put a lot of strain on maintaining that level of attention, be careful.

Are narcissists confident? Considering they crave validation I'd say not.
