"Can a f'd up life be celebrated?"
Nicola Tesla was in love with an imaginary, rainbow colored pidgin who had laser eyes.
Messed up is in the eyes of the beholder. Often, those eyes are others'. Sometimes, our own. |

| The entire thing you described is often called "Being Smart." ... that's all. Not insanely or even unusually smart, but very smart. I'm much the same way, and if you're entirely honest with yourself and avoid any magical thinking (ie, Use the Scientific Method), you'll find that you're just using co... |

| It's worth knowing that a self-administered test isn't a diagnosis, and that a clinical psychologist who didn't actually monitor you for 6+ months is also basically a false diagnosis. A one-visit thing isn't a diagnosis at all, and is more of a "Let's see what we can treat first." sort of style of h... |

| We could just say "Yeah, that's aggression syndrome. You treat it with magic water" and be homeopathic ... ... OR -- Depression is very often the cause of aggression. Of course, a person's living conditions being similar to that of a rat in a cage will produce aggression also. People without syndrom... |

| Dissociation is generally uncontrollable, and you have no ability to respond. What you're describing here sounds more like just what a bored mind does! No need to engage if you aren't communicating to another human being. Being human isn't a disorder! |

| Schnitzel!! ! Lol Anyway, what I recommend you to do is to have plenty of sunlight. It has vitamin C (I think, probably wrong) that will make you in a better mood. And yes, exercising will make you feel better physically, mentally, AND emotionally. Also, think about the things that make you happy, ... |

| No. It's called confirmation bias. If you look for reasons to believe you're cursed, you'll find them. You just won't notice anything that says otherwise. The short version is there's no such thing as luck, no such thing as a curse or blessing. Magical thinking leads to a lot of problems. If your fa... |

| That five-year study, which could just as well have been Nothing (what journal was it in? I'd like to read the actual study) shows a correlation, and you can't pull a cause out of nothing but a correlation. Anyway, I'm sure a number of those people are lazy, but they don't generally give linguistic ... |
