And what condition is that?

I think 'quirk' is too mild a definition for whatever it is you are.
I have bipolar disorder, diagnosed.

You also have an apparent undiagnosed case of idiocy and belong to the tribe of the asshat.

Perhaps a mental health forum would be better for you.

Take a little responsibility for your own drivel. This is the silly shit I'm talking about. You not only knew that your beliefs weren't knowledge, and even to you...you knew that you'd just blame some disorder as though they were a symptom....which, I'm willing to bet...you know that they're not.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm not blaming anything. She asked what my condition was, and I told her. Simple as that.

Did your bipolar disorder make you carry on a conversation with the deepak chopra generator? No, ofc not - because that's not a symptom of bipolar disorder.

At this point..you could tell me the sun was shining at noon and I'd have to go take a look.

You wanna know what does correlate with a bipolar disorder and similar mental health diagnoses? Psychosis and delusional thinking.


Are you really happy? Self-reported well being doesn’t match up with external observation

Quote:After conducting and analyzing the interviews, researchers found that there were extreme discrepancies between how respondents self-rated their life satisfaction and how they reported their lives in a narrative to the raters. For instance, only 15 people self-rated their satisfaction at a 5 or worse, but external raters gave 40 people ratings of 5 or lower. Even more surprising—only 6 of those low-rated cases matched.

The team found that people tended to rate their satisfaction very highly, but when interviewed, described dissatisfaction and unhappiness that led to lower ratings by the researchers.

Well that's interesting. But I know I have a good life. Not saying your post is BS, I'm just saying, I have a good life.
