Oh, I get you mixed up with Cursona. My bad. I don't watch your streams for poverty theater, just great map-making.

All right, so knyte is having sensory overload

I know it.

I've been there.

Symptoms: Extremely high or extremely low activity levels[1], Getting overexcited, Having trouble with social interactions

It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands.



Also, knyte please don't get mad at me. Consider it a friendly roast xd
I am overloaded all the time



@AbsolutelyEthan

Give the man a break. He deserves it after all these long posts for some rest and to calm down -.^

Interesting hypothesis, but no. I'm just monopolizing this thread (deliberately) because interacting with some people makes me feel considerably better about my own life, sometimes to the point of addiction. If I feel insecure about my intelligence, I laboriously explain the concept of analogy to Parsifal. If I feel insecure about my own sincerity, I give nonolet the opportunity to follow through on his word, knowing that he won't. If I feel insecure about my ability to convey information and ideas, I bait a moderator into a lengthy, half-coherent rant that evidences basic struggles with reading comprehension. I wouldn't exactly say I keep records of others' writing samples to read over lunch and laugh at, out of sheer bafflement that of the 7.9 billion humans on this planet, the vast majority are somehow less competent than even me!... but if I said I didn't I'd also be lying. There's just something titillating about giving people the opportunity to be themselves, in the worst ways. And something beautiful about creating opportunities for everyone to share who they really are- good or bad, without the social masks we wear- with the world.

I'm a quite horrible person. I have shut out most "normal" people from my life, because their lives bore and depress me (not that I'm particularly exceptional- I think I'm just intolerant of inability). So I make up for it by finding outlets like these forums to interact with ordinary people and derive enjoyment from people who I perceive as my inferiors in ability. Sometimes, of course, there's also people much smarter than me in these places (DrApe, Alexander) or people who understand things that I don't (Beep Beep Jeep, Math Wolf), so being absurdly transparent and verbose has the added benefit of occasionally galvanizing these people into sharing their own views and helping me find gaps in my understanding.

This is definitely incredibly unhealthy, but I can afford the cost. Before you ask, sociopathy has disappointingly been ruled out in my case. Narcissism and autism too. This isn't something I can't control or do out of habit; I've found not worrying about embarrassment and being honest with people about what I really think of them to be an effective strategy for life. Sometimes people even respect you more if you're honest enough to let them know (when they ask) that you don't even view them as human. If you're looking for a descriptive label, let me offer one: delusional misanthrophy.

That's the paradox, isn't it? Some of you look down on me, while I do the same with some of you. Societal norms tend to agree with one of us, and measures of human ability and success with the other.

For example, here you are, attempting to punch down, yet none of your blows land because you never bothered to check if you were actually on top. I even get a kick out of the character attacks and avoid responding in kind, because only one of us has demonstrated the ability to drive a person to suicide through language alone. It's like being hit by a kid and restraining yourself because you know you'll do actual damage if you hit back.

Bane, take that judgement or whatever emotion you feel toward me and try to distill it into an image in your head. Focus on it for some minutes until that orb of dislike becomes clear, powerful, almost commanding. It's only a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the contempt I feel for you. You only think it's pathetic because you've never felt this high- it's like heroin except it does the opposite of destroy your life.

Shame, I expected more. Have you thought about how to approach the game you're trying to play? If you want to actually get somewhere, you need to try to probe for insecurities first. Personal attacks don't land until you find what people actually care about. If you aim blindly, you can even set yourself back by unintentionally flattering people.



edit: nice try with the edit gag, by the way; I knew you were capable of more originality than your maps suggest

Defense mechanisms are a way for the mind to cope with stress or difficult feelings. They are unconscious mechanisms, which means that a person uses them without realizing it.


Projection involves a person accusing someone else of having thoughts or feelings that they themselves are having. It can be a way of avoiding unwanted thoughts or avoiding responsibility for a particular behavior.

For example, a person who realizes that they are being aggressive during an argument may accuse the other person of aggression. This deflects criticism away from themselves and onto the other person.

Projection can be harmful, as it may stop someone from accepting and taking responsibility for their own thoughts or behaviors

this comes to mind whenever I read one sentence replies by ethan

Well, yeah, the focus on calling others "very online" clearly comes out of the phase in his life where he got social gratification out of role-playing as Thanos on the off-topic forums of a Web-based clone of a children's board game. Like choosing "rock" as the first move in rock-paper-scissors, people have a tendency to begin with insults that come from their own self-criticism and evaluation of their own lives.

No, by very online he means you spend a lot of time online, especially on Warzone.com. It's not that deep. Literally, you wrote essays about yourself when this thread wasn't even about you.

But I appreciate your kind words earlier. Literally don't know why you decided to throw stones at me!

Overall, it sounds like you're just a bit frustrated. Maybe get some rest and save some energy for more paragraphs on here tomorrow? :)

Interesting, same amateur opening move. You come to this thread because your buddy Ethan gets frustrated enough after his failed pot-shots to just give up and blacklist me, now a little bit frustrated yourself, and your first move? Call me frustrated. Add that smiley face and joke about the paragraphs or putting too much effort on pointless stuff online- how's your 3-viewer political Twitch stream doing, by the way? How're preparations going for next year's Warzone Awards?

Have you considered, Cursona, why life is not so easy for you? I watch your streams- especially the vaguely socialist ones- as the "poverty theater" I described. I particularly like the ones where you bring your friends over to opine on crushing student debt or some other inequities faced by various groups in America, often tying them to the challenges you face in your day-to-day. I try so hard to sympathize with you, the net-recipients of the multiples of the average household income I pay in taxes. I think, "Yeah, these are just other people and they deserve a fair shot. Who knows what they would contribute to the world if only given the chance, the freedom from the system they keep asking for?"

Then you type. You go on stream, share your model of the world. You tell me what your standard is for too much writing or reading; you give away your own level of reading comprehension sometimes. It just... makes... it so hard... to ignore the voice of contempt and try to listen to that part of me that tries to believe people are equal.

At this point knyte (l4) is just trolling/having fun :D save this thread everyone, quite legendary

quite impressive amount of characters typed in record time. for sure l4v.r0v has the stats on exact number. No meaningful content tho, other than a sociopath revealing himself and trying to inflict pain on others. truly sad.

a sociopath

I wish. Your psychic ability to judge people can be a little too generous sometimes. :(

trying to inflict pain on others

trying? I'd definitely use "trying" for Bane coming in here, randomly trying to strike a nerve, and then his friend Cursona doing the same. But I wouldn't use "trying" for me; it took only a few posts for Bane to give up, blacklist me, and then revisit the thread to wipe his insult-laden posts ("edit edit" indeed, Ethan). Cursona was even a one-shot.

Turns out amateurs are amateur. Who knew?
