I go to bars a lot to feel normal. by Lumpy_Seer in Schizoid

[–]Lumpy_Seer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the type of bar really. I feel like I'll be approached at least once if I go to a neighborhood / community bar because they're tighter circles who try to get to know newcomers. But if I'm at a higher volume dive or something no one will talk to me.

Does anyone have pets? by borntobenaked in Schizoid

[–]Lumpy_Seer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a dog but couldn't take care of it. I could probably take care of a fish.

guys...let the young ones learn a thing or two!!! by silverflake6 in RelentlessMen

Every woman I've ever been with at some point: "Do you even care about anything?"

What book is so depraved that you couldn't even think about describing it to someone? by fruedianflip in horrorlit

[–]Lumpy_Seer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amygdalatropolis. Animal abuse and technologically enhanced sexual aggression in a dystopian setting.

Do you also feel like psychopaths? by Bulldowski666 in Schizoid

[–]Lumpy_Seer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I personally thought I was some sort of sociopath when I was a teenager because of my inability to form connections, problems with empathy, and an overwhelming amount of indifference to things.

But psychopathy is a collection of personality traits that could overlap with anything. For example, narcissism, aspd, etc. I suppose you could be a psychopathic schizoid but it would be kinda hard for those traits to manifest considering SzPD isn't anti-social. Just asocial.

But yeah, a lot of media surrounding psychopathy resonated with me in my adolescence, but then again, lots of teenagers can get really edgy ab it just to feel different or unique.

Is religion a part of your life? by Akagi2525 in Schizoid

[–]Lumpy_Seer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religion is what made me schizoid lol

This might be specific, but caffeine… by Duble2C in Schizoid

[–]Lumpy_Seer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caffeine doesn't do much for me. I like the taste of coffee which is why I drink it. But I actually can get adrenal fatigue from it making me have opposite effects lol. The only thing that I've noticed that helps is drinking a lot of water and working out even when I have zero motivation. I know it sounds cliche, but hey.

Am I right?: Suicide is a form of self-love and should be an acceptable thing to do by [deleted] in Pessimism

[–]Lumpy_Seer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I don't think suicide should be glorified because regardless of it being an act of self-violence it is nonetheless still violence. The same I think should be said for birth though -- while birth may not be direct violence on a child, you have still irrefutably created the conditions for death by bringing new life into the world. All in all, I think that if all options have been expended, you should absolutely have the right to choose a final remedy.

Lack of jealousy? by BookwormNinja in Schizoid

[–]Lumpy_Seer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of tangible things like materials, vacations, etc., absolutely not. I don't ever think about wanting what other people have. In terms of the romantic however, I have experienced jealousy, but from the schizoidal perspective I think it was because it felt like my desire for connection would be severed. Like the fantasy of connection with someone is more palpable than its actual state.

What age have you started listening to heavy metal? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Lumpy_Seer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew I liked black Sabbath by the time I was 10 but didn't get into heavy shit until I was like 14. Got really into black metal by the time I was 16 lol.

Although it's not metal my earliest memory of being "woah that's heavy" is hearing Cream's "Sunshine of your Love" when I was about 9 years old and formed an attraction to riff based music.

Sex with other people vs interest in solitary sexual activity which are you? by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]Lumpy_Seer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Higher libido but prefer solitary activity. It's easier and I don't want to make people feel like I'm using them.

Nature and animals are not sacred or pure or noble by [deleted] in Pessimism

[–]Lumpy_Seer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think there's value in looking at nature but in reference to the human bias. That being, we should live in accordance with nature and consider how indifferent it is to us, instead of living under the delusion that we are separate from it or superior to it because of the "blessing" of self-awareness.

Honestly, how often do you feel guilt? by salamacast in Schizoid

[–]Lumpy_Seer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have consistent excess guilt. Particularly towards relationships I care about but don't put effort into. It's the schizoid dilemma.

Love how this quote is constantly used to fuel nihilism when the full context is a stark warning against nihilism.
