For starters I enjoyed your reply the most. It made me laugh. It wasn't the answer I wanted, which upsets me. But exactly the one I needed, which challenges me. I'll start by replying to all of your statements and questions that have meaning to them now, using numbers so I don't loose track.
1. Even someone with eight years of study would be foolish to only rely on their own findings. A second opinion (and then some) can be outside of your own lens of blindspots and errors, and it's safe to say with the state of the media that it'd be safer to find someone qualified (and even then... error potential is quite high). - That was something I was going to do. See a professional. But I don't believe I need too at this point. It would be a waste of time. Because I know the answer to all these questions already.
2. Not a fan of research? What had you fall upon that conclusion? - No I enjoy research, I just get bored easily do to my habit of thinking about multiple things with no relevance towards my future and all that matters n my future. Also I figured I might have NPD because of how great I think of myself. Then I realized I just have a great amount of confidence and self-esteem, which nobody on planet earth could affect in any sort of way.
3. So because you don't like the answer, you felt the need to keep looking? You don't see a problem with that method of analysis? Labels aren't something you just pick and choose from like produce in a supermarket, even if the setting we're in allows people to treat it that way. - I felt the need to keep looking for a sense of satisfaction and relief. So I could end the wars in my mind already. They only seem to destroy myself. And time seems to be moving faster and faster the more I think. The solution would to be to stop thinking. Which is easy. I just enjoy making it complicated. As far as labels go, there just an easy way of identifying something. If you don't believe my label for you or myself fits, then you prove me wrong. Until then I have every right as an individual to see things how they're presented to me. It's not rocket science after all. It just makes things simpler.
4. Have you regarded opinions beyond your own flawed ones? - This one was a good laugh. If I was to listen to the opinions of other people, I would be just as great as they are. Which is not great at all. Anyone can give me there own opinion. After all I asked for them. That doesn't mean I'll believe them. There not facts. Also opinions are a great way to get perspective on what other people think and what they believe, not to apply to myself. These people and there opinions might be here now. But they'll all mean nothing twenty years from now. And I will be victorious. Not over other people and they're opinions but in the game of life. A little non needed information towards the end of that reply felt unnecessary but it felt right as well.
5. So you need to find a label to conform to, to belong to, even though the whole process bores you? - I don't need a label for anything really. My ultimate question in life has never been who am I but what am I. It's just a process of discovering more about myself. Now I'm realizing none of that matters. At all. I know who I am. I know that I am great. I know that I'm more than any simple mental disorder. But using a mental disorder to define my behavior is just a form of comfort really. Then I realize maybe everything that I do thats considered wrong and everything that I do that's considered right is just a bunch of moral bull shit and that there's no reason to consider the pitiful thought of myself having some sort of disorder. As if that would make me better or something. In fact it would make me lesser and I'm greater than all of that.
6. Ever hear of hypochondriasis? - Yeah I have. I tend to worry about these things not for the fear of having them. But for the prevention of death and the purpose of living as long as possible. Which I will do. I have no reason to fail.
7. When did you define those "reasons"? During? After? - Usually after. A good example would be for an episode of what I would call mania (which might not be) is when I discover something that makes me happy I get a sort of rush. Usually from there I can walk for hours at a time around my city which gives me more of a rush. I guess that's not really mania though. Just pleasure. I love pleasure. As far as depression goes, I usually get depressed when I don't get what I want. I guess that's just disappointment though.
8. You almost seem desperate to find a label. - Could be. Who knows really. It just felt like something I needed to at the time. No I don't feel the need at all.
9. The horrors of that disorder isn't something you just forget. Are you sure you even have it? Describe to me some of your experiences with it. - Well the only reason I think I have OCD is because i'm probably the best organizer of items you'll ever meet on planet earth. Maybe that just makes me a good organizer though lol.
10. Wow, you're trying far too hard to find a label. Have you ever thought that need to find an answer could be what's throwing you off track? You haven't even looked at every possible answer, from the sounds of it you're not looking towards others to provide a second opinion, and here you are trying to jump from one category to another like it's fads and cliques. Is it even providing you any impairments toward living your life? - That makes sense. Maybe there's no real answer I need. Maybe there's no need for the questions really. I guess maybe there's no real problem at all. That's the answer I'll go with for now. It's more reassuring than any sort of label.
11. Does being normal scare you? - Not really. It's just the thought that by being normal that i'm just like every body else. But I don't believe that to be true. In my discovery that I have my mental health, it gives me the opportunity to be greater than all that was and is. I have no reason not to do that. Unless I wanted to remain just like everyone else of course. Which will not be the outcome. My last breath on earth will not be that of a normal one, but a great one. I promise not to you but myself.
12. Actually, it explains none of that, and your music sounds quite generic. You sound more like you're trying to recreate the things heard millions of times over instead of making anything I'd dare to call "creative". - I acknowledge your opinion and you have every right to believe that. So if that's how my music sounds to you. Then I only have one job. I'll just make better music. So I guess, thanks for your opinion.
13. So you aim to attach a disorderly label to yourself to feel you have any worth? You poor, misguided thing. "Normal" people can succeed too you know. - Maybe normal people can succeed as well. But there is a difference between normal and great. So I may be normal now or too you any way. But I promise YOU this. I will not die normal. You can choose that path if you want. But I would be the biggest fool in the world to die normal. A repeat. A clone. The same as every one else. It would be a waste of my entire life to die normal. There's really no reason for me not to aspire and do great things and be great by doing that all.
14. Translation: I can accept that I am normal, no one special, not a unique snowflake, or I can convince myself that I'm "different" from others to satisfy my ego, my existential crisis-based need to not be "everyone else". - I can defeatedly admit you're right. But once again I have no reason not to consider myself great. I feel like me considering my self a sociopath just made me feel greater. I guess because I can't fathom what it's actually like to be one. Overall though. I don't think any sort of mental disorder would make me any less or more than what I am now. I guess that concludes my attempt to be greater without accomplishment. I know now that I can continue my quest to be the greatest alive not through words but through physical accomplishment.
15. Sorry dude, no one's special. Even beliefs of those who are seen as special are all hype that will fade with enough time. - This is once again your opinion and that's fine. But I do believe without people that I believe are great, the process of evolution and the progress of mankind would be a lot slower. I guess that's what separates me from you after all.
16. You're not "mad", you just need to feel like you're more than you are. A disorder isn't going to free you from being a boring nobody just how it wouldn't really free anyone else from it. How old are you anyway? - At this point I know i'm not any form of crazy and I can continue life with peace of mind and clarity. I really don't deal with things like anxiety or stress anymore. I just create them my self. Now I don't think thats necessary anymore. Also I'm not sure how this applies to anything but I turned 20 about a month ago.
17. Also not really sure what "ladders" have to do with any of this - Finally I met latter not ladder lol. Also forgive me for the numerous amount of typos in this post. I just feel to lazy to proof read everything right now lol.
