Idk, I mostly think psychology is pseudoscience bullshit. Some people are just assholes and selfish. The only reason I even still see my psychologist is because theyve diagnosed me with ADHD and I get Adderall, which I like a lot lol I just think I'm normal and being self aware is the only the only thing that sets me apart from other people

Ah, I see. Weirdly refreshing to see someone honest about being a narcissist. I definitely see it as a flaw, but there's something I always appreciate about self-awareness and honesty. It's funny how admirable the confidence idea can seem, though. It really would be like a super power.

"Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."

Nobody is going to save us from ourselves. Not until we care enough to think collectively and act accordingly will the world begin to heal... love thy enemy, I say that as an atheist, mind you.

We can all pretend we're not a global society, but we're certainly a global civilization. We are all connected and we are all in this together, for better or worse.

Tbh, that's actually kinda cool to imagine. I bet you've had an interesting life just having that natural confidence in everything.

I'm definitely not the same, but I'm okay with my tendencies. I've had plenty of random confident moments when I'm actually comfortable around people or in certain situations.

I excelled at public speaking lol I won "Master Debator" in speech and debate, got junior class president at my highschool, and was a favorite student of my drama teacher just because I don't experience any kind of stage fright or nervousness while speaking in front of people

And these feelings are the things that prevent me from doing these things. I can’t dance, or speak another language, or even sing in front of people I love because of it. It makes me feel like a real buzz kill when everyone is having fun and I’m just watching.
