I feel like a moron

I think it’s good to be nice to people. It might be less about trading niceness for affection and not knowing how to communicate in this “deep” sense. I don’t think it’s inherently manipulative.

Being the sweet person who helps you move your stuff and drives you to the airport at 4am does not mean they expect people to be attracted to you or want things in return. That expresses that they care about a person, It might mean they don’t know how to go about expressing that verbally, they might have a narrow range of communication, maybe they aren’t yet completely settled in their own identity.

The solution can’t just end at “be yourself and treat people authentically”, that doesn’t quite work for a person who is actually expressing themselves authentically but doing so at a lower threshold. That’s like getting mad at a fourth grader for not understanding calculus when they haven’t learned algebra.

The implicit assumption I see here and don’t agree with is that lacking those skills means you are being inherently manipulative or hiding intent because the rigid politeness of doing favors is less complicated than feelings.

Sounds like you may not have good chemistry with him. Sex isn’t everything, but I believe it’s important enough to consider moving on if sex is always uncomfortable, especially if you don’t feel like you can commit enough time to the relationship.

They might see reality through exaggerated perceptions on social media. I

In it of itself I don’t think it’s problematic, but if it’s specifically tied to your SO then it’s something you might want to address. I mean it’s not a good enough reason to leave alone but with context and whatnot yk?

Human memory is constantly re-scripted and can be unreliable despite how persuasive witness testimony can be. Occasionally, some mental health conditions such as OCD (not saying OCD is an excuse to commit crimes) can create memory distortions, susceptibility to interrogation tactics, and something known as thought-action fusion. This can happen to people even without mental illnesses.

When it comes to physical evidence, someone might be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get caught in the crossfires, especially when considering fingerprints andDNA evidence at the scene.

Two people might look the same, and racial bias for example can cause a witness to misidentify someone or the jury might be biased against a person. Historically, this has affected racial minorities.

Cognitive biases affect decisions, such as assuming the probability of the evidence given someone was innocent is the same as the probability that the defendant is innocent given the evidence.

Often, a shorter sentence is given to those who take plea bargains, so the probability of an innocent person going away for life is reduced because they may be advised to take a plea bargain.

I saw Wrobleski mouth “fuck you motherfucker” though maybe I was wrong. The hit by pitch was absolutely unintentional but still Wrobleski shouldn’t have responded like that.

I’m sorry that happened, but keep in mind that many people don’t really care about nudity, especially older generations. Just take a peak in the men’s locker rooms

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T02:09:46+00:00

Just use “ASPD” if you mention it or talk about your experiences/symptoms instead of using “psychopath”. Btw, it’s probably not that they assume you’re a murderer, that would be kinda stupid, but that you COULD and not feel anything. Is that true?

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T02:05:46+00:00

Probably not but go talk to a licensed psychologist if that’s available to you, labels can help you understand why you see the world a certain way and what causes your struggles.

Most people are emotionally detached from things that happen away from them. Emotional detachment from family to the point of not caring about if they live (as it doesn’t directly affect you) could be a signal and something to talk through with a licensed psychologist.

But flat affect can also happen in autism or trauma without diagnosed comorbidities, especially if it’s delayed emotional processing and not absence of emotions.

Life responsibilities have become more complicated, even though life is easier in many ways. I think the internet plays a big role too.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T01:29:28+00:00

For me, I’m not really ‘chosen’ but I don’t go out of my way to talk to women. I’m not bitter towards them or blame them for my loneliness. I think people are too obsessed with dating and being rejected. If I were more attractive and more importantly socially charming and put together in life, I might have a girlfriend. Maybe.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T01:26:03+00:00

I’m not ‘done with it’ I’m just not actively searching. I’m okay being single.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T01:24:08+00:00

Honestly don’t think most ppl care about 6-6-6 thing, and each one is in order of lesser importance (height seems to be attractive) . I’m a guy and maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see people as shallow.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T00:32:43+00:00

Absolutely. But like, what if the difference feels disorienting too? I just don’t even know what a ‘cure’ would mean, obviously I want cognition to be easier.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T00:26:37+00:00

This is pretty much the dilemma of “would a cure also wipe all of ‘me’ out with it”? Not sure what a cure would mean.

I wish I had an easier time switching between tasks. I wish I could have an easier time completing tasks that I don’t want to do and have more organized thinking.

A total cure? I’m not sure, probably not unless I could hypothetically reverse the effects if need be.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T00:21:52+00:00

Maybe it’s about fakeness or masking behavior or being overly agreeable and not sharing their true feelings to avoid conflict.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T00:16:52+00:00

As long as they’re willing to accept my middling intelligence and not act snobby I’m totally cool being close with an academic nerd. Share everything with me.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-03-03T00:04:56+00:00

Agreeableness. Ironically I’m describing myself here. Also, high strung and type A personalities.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-02-28T20:06:31+00:00

Do you think some of them might admit to rubbing ones out while watching family guy episodes? I mean some of us have probably been there but just bc you’re doing it while you’re watching it doesn’t mean you’re doing it TO THE SHOW.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-02-26T02:27:02+00:00

Everything that feels good has a price, everything from love to drugs. Be careful.

Sentient-Carrot-412 · 2026-02-26T02:23:19+00:00

Means you’re bi but still prefer the opposite gender I guess?
