I honestly have no clue how many there are—it's hard to say. People dealing with personality disorders often don't even bother seeking professional help, so they just drift through life unnoticed, or worse, they get slapped with labels like "weirdo" or "crazy" without anyone actually looking at the specifics. Meanwhile, those of us who can actually spot these patterns? Yeah, we aren't exactly the most popular people at the party. 😁

Look, the concept of "madness" doesn't even exist in actual psychology or psychiatry. 😁

I don't even know what I'd write in response; a simple "could it be me?" doesn't exactly give me much to work with here.

Interesting stuff! Honestly, I think it’s more fascinating than ever right now—and frankly, easier—to observe what's going on because of the entire societal context and how exposed everyone is thanks to all this information tech, communication tools, and social media.
How often does psychology actually encounter new disorders caused by these massive shifts in our society?

Is it actually true that mental illnesses develop by age 25, or is that just some urban legend?

In my opinion, everyone exhibits behaviors characteristic of psychological disorders at certain stages of their lives, or at least is predisposed to them.
I’m guessing things don't trigger an intervention until a person stops being functional in their daily life or starts completely wrecking their relationships with the people around them?

And since we're on the topic... 😬 How do you even approach someone with schizophrenia? I have this young neighbor who drops by our place, and he has these phases where he's totally fine, but most of the time he's just completely dysfunctional for everyday life. He’s convinced doctors are poisoning him, so he eventually just stops taking his meds.

Is it actually true that in this day and age, all this constant pushing for "individualism" has basically just turned narcissists into the new average Joe? Like, is everyone just a self-absorbed mess now?
Do we actually see more extroverts or introverts when it comes to people dealing with personality disorders? 🍿

wanderingcanyon61 said:Seriously, what category am I even supposed to open for a poll where you don't end up being in the top two or three spots? 😳

:buuuuurn: 🙂 🤣

On a scale of one to ten, how much of a disaster do you all think you look like? 🤔

wanderingcanyon61 said:🤣 I’m actually thinking about putting together another poll. I feel like it might make more sense to just bundle all of them into one giant survey and get everything out there at once. 😳 🤣

"Best forum member based on a model of unified features"—honestly, that sounds like something they'd pitch at some bottom-tier, trashy academic conference just to justify a grant. 🍿

@Zachary Bennett/">@@Zachary Bennett - true that, and look, I’ll be the first to admit I’m a total snob when it comes to my own intellect and the people I hang out with—that’s exactly why I wanted to throw this poll out there, just so I could brag a little, let’s be real 😁 It’s the complete opposite of those polls about looks. ☕

8 - I actually went down a rabbit hole and mapped out nine different types of intelligence, gave them all a score, and ended up with this average 🍿
. Honestly, I’m a total disaster when it comes to interpersonal stuff, linguistic skills—I swear, half the time I can't find the right words to say what's actually rattling around in my brain, especially when speaking—and musical intelligence, too. But, on the flip side, I'm pretty killer at logical-mathematical and visual-spatial reasoning (thank god for synesthesia, because that honestly carries me through a lot of things) 🙂
.

Honestly, I’m way more curious about how many people here actually think they’re smart—and I mean like, all-around intelligence, not just being a math geek or whatever. 🍿
<Just a suggestion for the next poll>

Even on your absolute worst day, you're still a 7 to me 😁

Hmm... if we're talking looks, I’d give myself a solid 5 right now. Honestly, I’m in pretty rough shape; I’ve totally let my skincare routine slide, my nose feels too prominent, and those laugh lines around my mouth are definitely showing. Plus, my knees and shoulders are constantly aching, and my posture is just terrible—I’m basically hunched over all the time because I spend way too much time glued to my desk.

On those rare days when I actually feel halfway decent, I might manage a 7. 😬

Really hoping Alzheimer's doesn't come knocking on my door too early and take my wits away along with everything else. ☕

That's awesome! Looking at those numbers, it’s pretty obvious what's going on here: you're either stuck in a job where you're typing all day, you're absolutely addicted to posting on these forums, or you're a massive gamer! 😁

Honestly, that’s just average. It really all comes down to how much you actually type and if you're using all ten fingers properly. Personally, my left hand does way too much heavy lifting, and don't even get me started on my pinkies! xD I actually took an elective typing class back in middle school using those old-school mechanical typewriters, but let's be real, I've gotten pretty rusty 😁
Software Engineers usually clock in at over 90.
Kids these days? They're actually slower than average when they sit down at a computer or a laptop. But man, give them a smartphone and they're absolute beasts. 🙂 I was running an online test with some college students today, and half of them were practically begging to just type their answers on their phones! xD

Give this a shot 🍿

bluebadger112 said:I don't think so, we've already done that.

Man, I did that ages ago and if I remember right, it was a total disaster 🙂 Seriously, I'm typing as fast as I can right now and it's making it obvious why 🤣 There’s actually this thing where they measure how fast you can tap a single key, apparently testing those reflexes is part of diagnosing some kind of disease, though I can't quite put my finger on which one 🤔 I saw it on House, so who knows if it's even legit 😁

78 wpm, but with a ton of typos. My left hand is acting up and my right one keeps missing—makes me wonder what House would say about that 🤔

bluebadger112 said:Well, look, 🤣

If you want to talk about who's actually smart, you need an actual IQ test because that’s not just some subjective "vibe" thing, right? Otherwise, you might as well just lump intelligence in with "most beautiful" or any other one of those "most +" categories that don't mean anything. 😁

Oh, please, you really think people on Reddit wouldn't be too embarrassed to post their actual test results if they had them? 😬

Seriously though, have you ever tried testing how fast someone can type on a keyboard? Now *that* could be an objective category, you know? 😁

The winner gets to invent an entirely new category, kind of like those silly photo contests you see online. We could have most eccentric Redditor, most controversial Redditor, funniest Redditor, smartest Redditor... honestly, I see massive potential here for actually improving how we all get along on this board 🍿

bluebadger112 said:🤣 Oh, for sure.

I mean, I'm not totally convinced, because maybe it isn't just an act? It’s weird how he's so unapologetically obnoxious and just spouts total nonsense while everyone else basically eggs him on... you know, some people probably working behind the scenes to keep the whole scheme going...

Any similarities to specific Reddit users are purely coincidental.

It’s honestly unlike anything else I’ve ever watched. 🍿

Totally different vibe 🍿

ironranger67 said:Yeah, German shows are solid, but I don't think I've ever stumbled upon anything quite like this from them. 😳

I definitely wouldn't suggest unknown unless you have a serious stomach for it—there's so much violence in there that even I felt a bit shaken up.

I’ve only seen Young Pope, haven't checked out the New Pope yet. Thanks for the reminder though, I really should give that one a shot. 😁
Lenny is great. 😁
I also think Medici is an excellent series.

Haha, man, I've got a stomach for just about anything, but it still kills me knowing that some of these situations could actually happen in real life 🤣

Malkovich is absolutely incredible in New Pope 🙂
