They also have a poor sense of humor which is why they tend to repeat other peoples jokes. They also keep separate social circles for this reason.

There are kinds of coffee that have very low acid and are kind of more "stomach-friendly", just search for low acid coffee. And the anxiety is caused by caffeine, so decaf could work?

Reply to New n=987 study into coulrophobia (the fear of clowns) suggests its main causes are clowns' unpredictability, their illness-like makeup, and prior media exposure. by fotogneric
I have an acquaintance who is a semi-professional clown. She refuses to accept that some people (me included) do not find clowns funny or entertaining. I saw her working a crowd at a street fair and about 70% of the kids got very upset when she approached, didn't slow her down.

I just imagine some weird short film someone would probably come up with while high where a rat evolves the ability to speak and talks with other rats about memories it has from a human.

Reply to comment by PuckSR in US Emissions of the World’s Most Potent Greenhouse Gas Are 56 Percent Higher Than EPA Estimates. Electric utilities are likely responsible for the nation’s higher than expected emissions of sulfur hexafluoride, a greenhouse gas 25,000 times worse for the climate than carbon dioxide. by Wagamaga
I know Schneider electric has developed LV-MV switchgear that is SF6 free using air under presser insulation and vacuum interruptors in their Aireset range, working with them currently and the airset stuff is definitely picking up more and more over the SF6 stuff as companies look to brand themselves more sustainable and better for the environment, don't know about Hv switchgear much though

We shouldn't be surprised, but the point was to demonstrate a link that can be cited medically. If it's confirmed, then clinicians can use catfishing as a sign of these psychiatric disorders.

I think you need the term Personality Disorder not traits.
Many personality disorders can manifest sadisim. Antisocial and narcissistic especially.

Someone needs to explain to me why this requires a study and is not simply an exercise of comparing definitions.
I asked ChatGPT to do just that for big5:
Q: Correlate Catfishing to big 5 personality traits
A: Catfishing refers to the practice of creating a false online identity to deceive others for various reasons, such as for emotional manipulation or for financial gain. It is not directly related to the Big 5 Personality Traits, which are a widely researched and widely used model for describing human personality. The Big 5 Personality Traits are: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. However, it is possible that some individuals who engage in catfishing behavior may exhibit certain personality traits that contribute to their tendency to engage in this behavior. For example, they might score low on Conscientiousness, which is characterized by impulsiveness, and score high on Neuroticism, which is characterized by anxiety and insecurity.

>Results showed that people with higher levels of psychopathy, sadism and narcissism were more likely to perpetrate catfishing.
Least surprising finding ever.

Sure, decades ago for the paper industry. Problem is, they are pretty fragile, not meant to live long.
Im sure they are frantically working on the problem if slow growing trees. Heck, in my City, native Elm trees can grow several feet a year, but thats just tall, the trunks take awhile to catch up.

From the article: An online survey in Australia explored the links between “dark” personality traits and the perpetration of online “catfishing” (deceiving and exploiting another person). Results showed that people with higher levels of psychopathy, sadism and narcissism were more likely to perpetrate catfishing. The study was published in Computers in Human Behavior.
Catfishing is a form of online deception where someone steals or creates a fake identity to trick others into forming an online relationship, often with the goal of financial exploitation.
The word “catfishing” itself came from a 2010 documentary “Catfish”, telling a story about a young man starting a relationship with a young woman he met on Facebook, only to discover that most of the information about her was false. This popular documentary led many people to come forward and report going through similar experiences that included online scams, harassment, and stalking.
One avenue of research into the issue of catfishing is the study of personality traits of people who engage in such practices. The set of four personality traits called “the Dark Tetrad” is particularly important in this approach, as previous studies have linked all of these traits to proneness to deceptive and exploitative behaviors.
