How important are you?

[brewer]

@OP

Who cares about importance? I think that really is a worthless question. Almost any valuation of importance requires an "other" perspective. I find my self relatively above average in both empathy and intellect, but that doesn't make me important. I find myself compassionate and prone to act on other's behalf, but that doesn't make me important either. The only thing that makes me important to me is that I have my own unique perspective.

@Ahriman Bipolar isn't a personality disorder, it's genetic... is there a history of mental illness in your family? It seems that Cyclothymic Disorder would be a closer proximation to the front you've paraded around here, which would usually come with a plethora of other indicators like dependent and borderline personality disorder, which you have also shown symptoms of. I'm no clinician though and don't speak for any group but myself, but I think the group consensus is you should probably seek some help with clarity on that.

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)
