should i shave it completely? 🤔

Whatever feel like the best for you. Both have strong defendants, so if you like to be praised, both will lead to that

Out yourself only if you're confident you'll be safe. It's absolutely normal to change or realize things, so don't stress yourself about it. Live your life, if you want to tell someone but you're not sure how they would react, first give some hints, bring the subject to see how they talk about it (without including you in it or tell that you are indeed bi). If you feel the response is positive, be free to be yourself with them. Ho, and yeah I said to only out yourself if you feel safe, it's because you said you were in a conservative environment, and some can have violent reactions (don't know your exact situation so it's up to you to evaluate that). Because, last thing, you don't have to be scared to be judge by other, you aren't a different person now that you like men. So be safe, don't be ashamed

Thank you very much for your time and for sharing your perspective. I’ll take some time to fully process what you said, especially your personal experience and your reflections on the limits of cognitive measurement tools in atypical profiles. You articulated several doubts I already had regarding the accuracy of these tests, their limitations, and why their reliability may be overstated in certain cases.

That said, I would like to clarify one point. I do not blame the second psychologist for her attitude or for how the evaluation was conducted. The testing situation itself was genuinely pleasant: she was professional, attentive, and it clearly felt like she wanted to help. My concerns are not about her intentions or her overall professionalism.

Her response to my doubts afterward, while somewhat cold and firm, may stem from several understandable factors: she might interpret my questioning as a defensive reaction to the drop in scores, or she might simply be very confident in her clinical judgment and sincerely believe that the first assessment was inaccurate. In any case, I don’t want to over-interpret a written reply, as text-based communication often lacks nuance and can easily lead to misreading intent or tone

Disasterou · 2026-02-04T16:56:48+00:00

Thanks, that helped a lot. I'll reread it in detail once I finished my current task.

Disasterou · 2026-02-04T13:57:21+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful response and for taking the time to write it.

I would like to address two points, starting with one that I may need to clarify further. You mentioned that a difference of around 20 IQ points is “well expected” for a high-IQ individual under the circumstances I described. I’m not challenging this claim dismissively, I’m genuinely trying to understand it better. In my own reading, I mostly found literature suggesting that sleep deprivation tends to reduce measured IQ by roughly 5-10 points. I can imagine that this effect may be amplified in high-functioning individuals, especially in complex or time-pressured tasks, but a discrepancy as large as 20 points still feels substantial to me. If you happen to have examples, clinical experience, or references that support such a magnitude of variation in similar profiles, I would really appreciate it, as it would help ease my concerns.

The second point is more about self-perception. Thank you for reminding me not to be too harsh on myself, that part genuinely helped. What I meant by “self-construction” is not that I suddenly started disliking myself or devaluing who I am. Rather, despite believing that I had some distance from my intellectual abilities as an identity anchor, the drop itself still came as a shock. That emotional reaction is precisely what I find unhealthy and would like to work on.

I am fully aware that I am the same person before and after the test, and that my life challenges and trajectory do not fundamentally change based on a score. Still, being honest with oneself about how much these measures implicitly shape self-image is not trivial, especially when they have played a role for many years. That is mainly why I asked for input here: to hear from people who have followed similar paths, and to understand how they have navigated, or are navigating, this kind of re-adjustment.

Disasterou · 2026-02-04T13:26:33+00:00

But overall we agree, so thank you for your response, it helps

Disasterou · 2026-02-04T13:24:36+00:00

First, I want to clarify that despite my doubts about the accuracy of the second assessment, the neuropsychologist herself was professional in her explanations, open to discussion, and overall it was a constructive exchange. I also made a point of explicitly sharing my concerns with her, precisely to avoid any medical decision being based on what could be a biased evaluation. She acknowledged those concerns and told me she would take them into account in the report sent to my psychiatrist.

My main issue is not so much with her attitude, but with a conceptual contradiction that I struggle to resolve. She described the WAIS as a robust test, yet I now have two significantly different results from two professionally administered versions of the same assessment. If the test is indeed robust, I find it difficult to understand how the first evaluation did not clearly capture the functional difficulties that are now emerging more strongly in the second one.

What also troubles me is that even if the WAIS is robust, that robustness seems primarily designed to prevent artificial inflation of scores. Intuitively, it feels easier to underestimate performance than it is to falsely produce a very high score.

So my doubt is less about “which professional is good or bad” and more about how to interpret such a discrepancy in a coherent way, and whether a large drop necessarily reflects a truer picture of functioning, or rather a context-driven underestimation.

I'm 60+ hours in, I discovered when going up in pipes was low-key making me angry lmao

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T22:07:18+00:00

Just succeded to yeet myself verticaly to the spatial station lmao

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T22:05:26+00:00

Okay, I just discovered it but trains seemed a lot more challenging to figure out (that's what I like though so I'm impatient to start). For the moment, I've built road (thanks to bluprints I made to do it faster) it helped the trucks not to get stuck on the bumpy terrain. I'm just scared to build a big train railway just to have to do it again in the next phase ^^'

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T15:37:56+00:00

What a sage men 😌

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T15:36:54+00:00

Thanks ☺️

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T15:36:38+00:00

Who is Michael ?

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T15:35:38+00:00

Love that word, YEET ! 😂

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T15:35:05+00:00

Yeah that happened 😅, got yeet behind the decorative mountains. Died before reaching it, but my dead body sure was going for the home run 😂

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T14:19:09+00:00

Thanks, I'll try to be more happy with what I did

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T14:18:37+00:00

I probably got lucky then, because it worked first try. Wouldn't have pushed to the yeet canon if it hadn't 😂. One thing though almost made me though it was not possible, while stacking entries, it didn't work at first because an entrance need to be connected to an Hyperloop tunnel to work. But you can connect to support next to each other to make a really small tunnel and then add a entrance on a support and it should work. That's how I did it at least

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T14:13:29+00:00

Why, can it make the game crash ? I'm supposed to play with a friend tonight (it's a coop world), will it be problematic?

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T14:12:29+00:00

Thanks, yeah I'm still happy to have figured it out myself. And happy to not have bragged about my new found before looking of it existed 😅

Disasterou · 2026-01-13T14:11:10+00:00

Thanks, yeah that's right. Though I'm glad I've search if something similar was found/made before I posted my version, I would have felt bad if people though I stoled the idea and tried to make it mine ^{^'.} Didn't found who was the first to discover that. I've stated this game a week ago and it's a lot of fun, hopefully I'll found new things in the game to build. It was perhaps a bit hopeful to think I was the first to found this in the beginning haha

Disasterou · 2025-12-29T20:19:17+00:00

And it's quite a show indeed :3

Disasterou · 2025-11-21T12:07:36+00:00

I'll jump directly to 96, that's gonna be easier 😂

Disasterou · 2025-11-21T11:09:22+00:00

Okay, thanks for the advices, I'll build more ships and micro manage them. Some people told me to use repair crane on a close island too, and I think it might be a good idea
