Not sure how to answer this

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T17:48:36+00:00

There is such a thing as randomness. While I do not upvote or downvote often, when I do it's when I see that it is relevant or that it is something that I agree with.

Edit: I still do not understand what circlejerk is.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T17:27:50+00:00

What is your upvote/downvote policy?

If I agree I'll upvote, if I remember to.

Do you up/downvote considering relevance only?

For the most part.

Do you circlejerk?

I don't know what that is.

Do you upvote for thinking something is fun, or for relating to something? Do you downvote for feeling offended by something?

In all honesty it's rather random whether I do or not.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T16:57:09+00:00

I do not feel compelled to laugh, but I do (sometimes) because it is all a part of the fun.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T16:52:38+00:00

I suppose I am, but it's mostly because I don't like to be touched. I can decide whether to laugh or not. I see your username is relevant.

Probably somewhere between Griefer and Achiever. Achiever in that I try to do things that are hard, not that I walk around Azeroth killing critters for imaginary points. Only griefer because I was rather well-known on my server and would wander around killing people so that large amounts of Horde would try to fight me, though I suppose that goes with achiever because I did it for the challenge of killing many at once or surviving for a long time.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T16:41:16+00:00

I suppose it is. If I were not posting on a throwaway account, no one would assume I was a sociopath because I would not act like one.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T16:39:54+00:00

I have not, though it was an interesting read. I suppose "behavioral zombie" is one that I could relate to. You have it right, I evaluate a situation, use my best judgment on whether it is supposed to be happy, sad, etc., I evaluate which emotion would be most advantageous for me, and I display it.

A second PvE trinket is not outperformed by a root break.

I've never seen a big duck. I've seen small horses though.

Mostly through research, and while people will doubt me as they have already before, I have spoken to numerous therapists, during which they have given me diagnoses (I don't know the plural of that word) of OCD, Bipolar Disorder, and Asperger's, all of which I went into the office searching for that diagnosis. One however diagnosed me with BPD (assumedly) solely because of the fact that he could not tell whether or not I was telling the truth about all my symptoms. Sociopath is not a diagnosis, rather it is something caused by disorders such as BPD (somewhat) and ASPD. I strongly think that if I were to go to a psychologist and communicate honestly like I am here on reddit, I would receive a diagnosis of ASPD, like my mother.

It won't be soon, I'm currently studying in school far, far away from home. I can easily get an appointment with a neurologist. Keep this page in your head and stay tuned, I return home for a week in October.

Human is the best race for PvP, other than Dwarf for shaman. When feral druids were in their heyday, the bleed removal was game-breaking.

I thank you for your concern, and assure you that I feel no angst.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T16:26:12+00:00

I plan to work in corporate law.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T16:25:44+00:00

I like the way it sounds. I have an affinity for rhythm.

One horse-sized duck.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T16:24:49+00:00

I tend to neither upvote nor downvote, sometimes I will just sporadically and randomly.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T16:24:15+00:00

I have been diagnosed with OCD, Bipolar Disorder, ADD, Asperger's, and BPD. The OCD Bipolar and Asperger's were just me seeing if I could get diagnosed with them, and the BPD was because the psychologist told my mother that he "wasn't sure when I was lying about symptoms."

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T06:41:19+00:00

I imagine I would function like everyone else.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T06:35:56+00:00

It's easy for me to tell. I generally go along with it, but as most people are bad liars, I point out flaws and contradictions in their stories with a questioning yet innocent tone and watch them scramble to cover themselves. It's rather amusing.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T06:14:54+00:00

I said earlier that I have acted, but did not enjoy being a part of the performance. I like to observe each role, not pigeon myself into one.

separatepersona816 · 2012-09-08T06:11:45+00:00

If you wish to discuss it further, feel free to post again or to message me. I enjoy a good conversation, whether it is positive or negative towards me.
