... I got low on paranoia and between very high and high on everything else, especially the schizo ones.

Hurray.

So you're crazy, but at least you're not worried about being crazy. That's actually a good state of being, IMHO.

See, I wasn't trying to out-weird anyone.  I was actually expecting high on avoidant and low on everything else.  The schizoid stuff was a surprise, though it seems that one gets high scores there just from

a. Knowing one is weird
b. Enjoying it.

And I was just looking for an excuse to post that comic.
Even though the sad thread may be a bit inappropriate.

I dont take personality disorders too seriously. Granted, there are extreme cases that fit the bill, but I think it's probably overdiagnosed, often with very subjetive criteria as a basis. Add to this that there is not much of a treatment and I fail to see the point in this stuff, except as a category in which to fit those obvious, extreme cases, which behave in certain ways consistently and dont have mental illness as an excuse.

I have become what I have long feared to be: a person who is academically smart, but also one who cannot socialize worth a damn. What is the point of knowing things when you don't know how to share them? I can research things and say facts and make points, but throughout every debate I have a massive disconnect with the actual thread of conversation. I can make jokes and converse among friends, but as soon as I walk into a room where I don't know anyone, I panic and go off to read a book by myself. I can do group projects alone at twice the speed of actual groups, but I have nobody to socialize with in the process. I have friends, but I cannot seem to make new ones. I think I have a thread to revive.

Welcome to my world a couple of years ago.

Now I just tell weird stories and make bad puns until everyone is too confused to do anything but regard me with affection.

Oh, I forgot the daily sad.

The 29-year-old guy I had a crush on, and with whom my classmates were trying to set me up, has a girlfriend; I found out about this because she apparently got appendicitis while moving in with him this weekend.

So yup.

On the other hand, I have an extremely recursive essay written in German.

We were supposed to write about what we'd be if we weren't human.

I picked "the essay I am currently writing about what I'd be if I wasn't human."  Cue the first sentence being "if I were an essay, I'd be recursive," moving on to wondering about my origins and parentage, what I was before I was "born," dancing on the scaffold of human inquiry, etc.  And, at the end:

And now, I am alive.

And when you have forgotten me, I will die.

I don't know what I was thinking, but I imagine I'm frustrated with Liebeskummer.
