Finally went through the tedious work of filling in the values in Excel for the research part of my dissertation. Trying to see which personality disorder has the biggest correlation with depressive episodes as well as other interesting stuff such as suicide attempts, alcoholism, working conditions, genetic factors and so forth.
Offshoot: I'm curious to see if the goalposts have been moved regarding the diagnosis of NPD (and its severity) ...in our instagram/selfie/social media 'me me me' culture.

The writing process is magic. You can sit there staring at the blinking cursor for 10 minutes as if it were the prettiest pair of tits you've ever seen. But it's not. It's every dreadful doubt you've ever had about yourself flashing before you. You breakdown. You tell yourself you're not good enough. You fall into despair. You pity yourself. You're nothing. And then, in a blink of an eye, you relentlessly start hammering the keyboard with your fingers until you've produced a lengthy piece of - voila! - prose. And then you feel normal again, even if for just a split second.
You go through that every time you post here? I hate to break to it's just a forum and not that many people left at that.

BWAHAHAHAHA
He knows I 'read' the message, but I've yet to respond. I want to tease him and make him work for it. I KNOW I'M AN A+ but IS HE WORTHY OF MY ATTENTION? Well, he's sexy and "career oriented".
He still has to know that boys like me don't come for free.

Not really. Those are just morons. The psychiatric disorders are far more severe than people imagine. It's extremely trendy now-a-days to suffer from "depression", "mania" or teenager's favourite term of "psycho", but once you see the people who truly have these disorders, you understand that reality is a bit far off. There is of course a difference between exhibiting traits and being diagnosed with the actual disease.
As an example: We saw an interview, live, with a guy suffering from anti-social personality disorder - basically what people would refer to as a psychopath. He was speaking about how he tried to kill his brother with the most light-hearted voice ever. It was like you or me would talk about go getting a burger. No regret or remorse for what he attempted.
Narcissistic disorder is a bit more complex than just loving to post pictures of yourself. Many of these people have traits which extend much deeper than the obvious.

Why are Mexicans so butt fucking ugly? Seriously, who smashed their faces in asphalt? Seriously, they walk with a massive chip on their shoulder working as our serfs. We should only take in skilled labor which is good looking.

Please tell me there are degrees and this is not what people mean when they say psychopaths are more likely to be CEOs than anything else

I'm only 10 minutes in, but this seems like an interesting podcast episode people on here will dig.
Right now they're discussing online communities and the deep web.
