Someone clearly knows their neuroanatomy!

I'm really not a fan of taking meds—honestly, I try to avoid pills whenever I can—so I'm going to look up where I can find it...

No problem!🙂

I’ve no idea how much ZN is actually in that specific brand of cereal—but if you're looking to hit those levels, supplements are honestly the way to go. You just get a guaranteed, precise dose every time. I usually stick with the Vitamin A from Natural Wealth.

I had no idea it took that long--that's a massive stretch.😕
Is there anything actually being done to help? Like, what helps speed up the healing process?
Maybe adding more specific stuff to the diet could make a difference?😬

Eat plenty of fish, take some zinc supplements, and load up on antioxidants—you know, vitamins A, C, and E...

I’m actually allergic to caffeine. It sounds crazy, but I feel like an absolute miracle😁

Man, it’s honestly such a relief to be blissfully ignorant!😁 😁 😁

A little ice on my backside.

Man, what kind of fairy tales am I reading here?😬

Quincy:

Lao Tzu—man, there’s just so much to unpack there. It’s one of those names that carries a certain weight, isn't it? You start reading his stuff and it hits you—it's not just ancient philosophy, it's almost like a roadmap for staying sane in a world that never stops moving. I was sitting in a coffee shop in Seattle the other day, just watching people rush around like they were running out of time, and I couldn't help but think about the concept of "Wu Wei." It's easy to say "go with the flow," but actually living it? That's the hard part. It's about effortless action—doing what needs to be done without fighting against the current of life. It sounds simple, almost too simple, but when you really dig into it, it's incredibly profound. Just something to chew on today. kaže: I’m honestly floored by that comment... look, you clearly don't know much about art—it wouldn't hurt to at least learn a few names of the geniuses who actually shaped history. Of course, just because someone can't paint doesn't mean they aren't smart—obviously—but most intelligent people usually have some kind of field where they actually put that brainpower to use.👍

It’s not just that he has zero clue about art—he clearly doesn't have a single grasp on psychology, either.

Man, whoever sang that song about being rich and carefree... hey, he can sing whatever he wants!😁 Anyway, total tangent!

says:
To start off, I don't really see how you can equate high intelligence with a high IQ score, since those standardized tests only ever scratch the surface of what a person is actually capable of.

For instance, the psychologist Howard Gardner identified seven distinct types of intelligence:

1. Verbal-linguistic intelligence
2. Musical intelligence
3. Logical-mathematical intelligence
4. Visual-spatial intelligence
5. Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence
6. Intrapersonal intelligence
7. Interpersonal intelligence

A narcis might be linked to intrapersonal intelligence—which involves one's own self-perception—as well as interpersonal intelligence, which governs how we interact with the people around us.

Personally, I feel like I can spot a narcis quite easily, even without knowing their specific IQ, though I often suspect they possess quite high scores.

So, if I were to try and link narcissism to a high IQ (rather than "high intelligence," which is a much broader concept that I suspect excludes narcissism entirely), perhaps it’s a combination of intrapersonal intelligence acting as the "face" and interpersonal intelligence acting as the "mirror." It's as if a certain level of narcissism provides the grip that allows them to hold that mirror steady.

8 - The intelligence of nonsense
9 - The intelligence of waste

There was a time when people thought all of this fell under one umbrella called "excretory intelligence," but later on, dr. Kelly realized that we are actually looking at two fundamentally different types of intelligence.

So... what exactly was the poet trying to get at here???😁

William Gonzalez3 said:🙄 🙄
'I have a high IQ, and I don't have any flaws; I'm just incredibly smart and perfect, but I'm not narcissistic.'

So, I guess we have a textbook example here of someone who—supposedly—is highly intelligent, yet instead of avoiding narcissism, they've fallen right into its center.
It almost seems like there might be some truth to the idea that highly intelligent people tend to lean toward being a narcis.

See? I told you—I’m not entirely wrong about this!🙂

William Gonzalez3 said:Well, if it isn't actually life-threatening, then I guess it doesn't sound all that terrible to me.

Is narcissism even really a bad thing?
And if it is—well, what exactly is it that makes it so problematic?

Look, having a little bit of narcissism is totally fine... but once it becomes pathological? That’s when things go south fast—like, medically speaking, you're screwed.😁

William Gonzalez3 said:That’s all very interesting, I suppose, but I’m having a hard time seeing why it matters so much.
I mean, is anyone actually going to die from a bout of Narcissus?

No way😘

How is she handling the treatment?

Gerald Rivera60 said:We all possess a certain degree of narcissism. If we didn't, we probably wouldn't achieve much in this life.
These traits exist on a spectrum. The real question is simply where we fall on that scale—how narcissistic or antisocial we actually are. It’s a matter of whether we remain within the bounds of what’s healthy and functional, or if we’ve crossed the line into actual pathology.

True, but we're specifically talking about the link between high-level narcissism and high intelligence here. You're spot on there—without at least a little bit of that drive, none of our big ambitions would ever actually happen.👍

William Gonzalez3 said:Freud is dead.

But honestly—where are you even getting this idea that highly intelligent people are naturally prone to narcissism?
And I mean, could you maybe back up that claim with some actual evidence?
A graph or something?
Or perhaps a data table?

If there isn't any hard data to show us, then at least tell us how you even arrived at the conclusion that high intelligence and narcissism are so closely linked.

I was reading this little book about narcissism (can't recall the author), and I came across some stuff that really hit home. It wasn't explicitly stated, but all the traits lined up perfectly—which honestly kind of shook me up, especially seeing them labeled as hypersensitive narcissists. It's just so weird...

How sure are you about that? I’m pretty sure Freud is actually saying something else entirely.

That bone can take up to two years to fully heal—so honestly, it’s no wonder you’re in pain. Right now, I’d really suggest some heat therapy. Just hop in a warm bath and try to gently move that ankle around to loosen things up.

Come on, people—let's hear it! Speak up!
