How important are you?

[brewer]

OP: you've got an internal perception of your self worth, then there is external perception of your worth by others IRL. Your actual self worth/importance is somewhere in between. If your internal perception radically conflicts with IRL perception by others it's going to create some problems for you. This, in part, is of how personality disorders are identified. I believe your behavior indicates that you have one.

I expect that you won't consider any of the above valid, which is probably the most significant indicator of your mental state.

Edit: You might gain some insight by listening to Kansas. (fuck, that's going to be an ear worm for the rest of the day)

What makes you think I have a personality disorder?

Your constant magical thinking and inability to perceive your own (and what the forum considers) inappropriate behavior/thinking. However this is the internet so I can only consider your contributions here. The anonymity that the internet allows may not reflect your actual IRL interactions with people.

There's also your refusal to consider that you might have a personality disorder. This is not the first time it has been addressed.

What is inappropriate thinking? Anything an atheist would disagree with? And even if I had a personality disorder, what I post online wouldn't be an indicator.

Your belief in magical thinking demonstrates (at least here) or indicates that, and makes me believe, you may have a disorder.

Your tales of behavior (which the majority of society would consider inappropriate) indicates that, and makes me believe, you may have a disorder.

Your inability to recognize your magical thoughts/beliefs or recognize inappropriate behavior here indicates, and makes me believe, that you may have a disorder.

Please understand, I don't know your interactions with significant RL individuals, (family/friends/employer/co-workers). Your time here may all just be an act. Unfortunately for you, if it's an act, it brings up the possibility of other disorders. But frankly, I don't think you're that smart to pull off that complicated of a ruse.

I really don't care what the majority of society thinks of anything, most people are stupid.

Have you noticed that your thoughts and opinions change from post to post depending on the situation? - you know just like trolls do.

That's just being versatile.

Just gonna watch you for when you jump the shark. Otherwise, you just rave on.

Exactly. Ding ding, ding................. we have a winner. Conformation is wonderful.

(or maybe loser)

But go ahead, you be you, It's not like any of your behavior would change anyway (that's part of the disorder).

However, stop bitching about what others think of you, or your contributions. Most of the forum should now know where it's coming from.

Um..... no. It can be both genetic and/or environmental.

I will note that' I'm impressed that you are aware of cyclothymia. But I think that in addition to bipolar (which I'm not convinced of based on his behavior here, I've not seen any real cyclying) I think Ahri demonstrates some schizotypal traits which includes his magical thinking.

If you want to observe cycling look at Winters posts. (no offense Winter, we've discussed this in the forum before)

Fair point. Typically though, a family history is one of the things to look at. I've done a lot of intake forms for PTSD and mentally challenged and handicapped people. It causes you to read alot. People with mood disorders are close to my heart. Cyclothymia is more rare, but the mood swings are less impactful usually. The rate at which people throw around bipolar, schitzo, crazy and such really should cause people to research more. Those false label can really get stuck in a truly sick person's head.

I'm very aware of Winter's cycling. I can't seem to recall too many same day switching for Ari, but it seems plausible as only a small portion of what we see is on the forum and almost definitely curated. Meh... just my 2 cents

Bipolar (and other affective [mood] disorders) are genetic linked at about 80%. Severe environmental circumstances can also be a source, especially during developmental stages. There is also a connection with extraordinary societal disruptions (i.e. war, famine, murder, even entering a completely different society).

Just for conversation, cycling rarely, if ever, occurs in bipolar on a daily basis. When you encounter it, it's more often a personality disorder and/or an attempt at manipulation (which should make a person question the personality). Ahri will flip, or dismiss, when ever it suits his objectives, depending on the person he's interacting with and their interaction. Classic personality disorder.

But this is just my gut feeling based on his online personality. I could be wrong, but doubt it. Sorry Ahri, you get what you give.
