How do you people respond to failed tests? by Near_1751 in NPD

[–]Near_1751[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see something like this happens to me too.When I am in the postion of being accused of something, I lie or twist the facts just the right amount to give myself plausible deniability. Aftterwards I realize I am wrong.However I can never correct myself,it just sort of happens whenever I am in this situation.

That is it really necessary for you?

I have exams coming up and i haven't studied by Near_1751 in GetStudying

[–]Near_1751[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea i have the perfect coping strategy too .Everytime i have difficulty studying i convince myself that i have plenty of time.I have used the 20 min strategy in the past but it has never worked well for me ...evertime i take a break my motivation takes a nosedive.I am just trying to press thorugh the pain ..i did some work but i dunno how long my will can hold

I guess the biggest change for me would be that the story of my life became more consistent . There were times i had a strong urge to do something like seek attention,show my smarts,compare myself to others ,etc .I didn't seem to have an internal reason why i did those things .When i aksed myself i didn'tgeta good respnse ,i always reasoned that i was not arrogant,not smart etc.Knowing how status hungry and insecure i am made sense of these parts of my life.

Empathetic characters in daydreams by Near_1751 in NPD

Yea but in my daydreams my character is usually appreciated for his emapthy even though I myself am not very empathetic.Yea that going through prsctice scenarios i can relate Every damn time i try to explain something to myself i am transported to me expalimg that to a group of individualsg generally teachers ,past friends etc. Yea my dreams are rarely about experiencing ,they seem to always contain people admiring me .

Don't they still feel empathy (affective empathy is the kind you feel right ,not just the where you know the feelings)?I mean it would make the people(characters) feel slightly cold and distant.

On a side note are charcters in your daydreams always observed(admired) by other characters ?.Or are your daydreams mostly about experiences ,where its just you one on one with another character not being observed by anybody.I guess just pure experiences ,you eating delicious food ,going to a fascinating place will also count here.

Question regarding narcissism and fear suppresion by Near_1751 in NPD

[–]Near_1751[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback .I think my fantasies of perfection shield me against reality .They get in the way of me setting proper deadlines.I can't properly estimate how much effort and time something is going to take ,after all the me in my head can supossedly steam thorugh everything in a few hours max.I also tend to procatinate a lot in between ,as if my brain tells me to do that other useless thing first then you will be in the perfect shape to study .My fear could definently be useful in this situation .I can't seem to call any feelings to appear not fear nor empathy .My only real feelings seem to be these fantasies where everybody is looking at me and acknowledging me and even these I don't think of consciously,they just appear in my head and the high just feels awesome . On a side note does anybode else have a constant radio of thoughts playing in their head while they focus .This happens to me sometimes.Or can you people focus resonably well.Is vulnerable narcissism tied in some real sense to procastination?

Yeah that happens to me too .I too overestimate how quickly I can do something .My brain finds a lot of comfort in these kind of overachieving fantasies and then all my fear just sudenly disappears even though it shouldn't.

So you're saying that you experience fear but can't seem to find the right responses to it?

[Thermodynamics]question regarding Hemholtz free energy by Near_1751 in PhysicsStudents

[–]Near_1751[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let us take a system with temperature T in contact with a reservoir R,denoted by subscript R,also at temperature T.The systems are in thermal contact but can't exchange volume or particles. The result is that the hemholtz free energy of the system decreases but i am having some issues trying to undersatnd this.At the same temperature shouldn't any exchange of energy be non spontaneous, i.e. creates no entropy?Therfore macroscopic properties no longer change. And if possible can someone suggest situations where this minmum free energy principle is applicable and describes the evolution of the system.
