why do people on this forum feel the need to prove they are smart

[Algernon]

Take off the mask Lorence.

Not in the way I'm guessing you imagine it. Sounds like you adapted such personality as a trauma response since you're on here, short, and trying this hard to justify your truth.

@

@Master Run from your need as a human to have connections. Let the past define you. You're a sheep in wolfs clothing.

people on this forum try and psychoanalyze others so much (i chose him as an example but there are many other people)

idk if they are trying to prove they are mentally or intellectually superior by putting themselves at a higher role by analyzing others, to themselves too

i do not understand

It's called being insecure within & projecting onto others. You feel the need to see others as below you. You need help.

It's you needing to see others as below you.

Most things that are "cringe" come from self hatred. Disliking what I do is really no different. Why did you feel the need to dedicate an entire thread to this? The way it's phrased makes it obvious you're doing this for approval. I've yet to see you truly make a stance. You disagree with me on even the simplest of points, that's why I've stopped engaging with you.

Even so, what suggests I'm trying to prove I'm "smart?" I'm typing the truth in those messages. The reason they were obscure is to direct it towards the person who I wish to receive it. Do you ever do any self reflection? You sound like the guy who claims he's intellectually honest while trying to justify 1+1 = 3.

You sound like insecurity, trauma, and more bundled into one. You sound like you're no one and everyone at the same time.

Yes, that's the point of a thread, to respond. You're cherry picking pure garbage so your ego can justify your world view. You are nobody.

It's you needing to see others as below you.

i have never needed to see anyone as below me

i never said you are low iq or any thing of the sort, actually you are probably higher iq then me

i just think you have a need to be superior and justify your superiority (regardless of if its true)

"Dedicate an entire thread to this" it is the topic itself of people feeling the need to be superior as a general theme on this forum

not about you, u are js a good example since i noticed that first one about lorence then remembered the one about the owner of the forum, then i thought about this as a topic and made this post (i never called you "cringe"?)

+ this original post was low effort anyways

Even so, what suggests I'm trying to prove I'm "smart?" I'm typing the truth in those messages. The reason they were obscure is to direct it towards the person who I wish to receive it. Do you ever do any self reflection? You sound like the guy who claims he's intellectually honest while trying to justify 1+1 = 3.

your typing the truth but theres no reason to

you are only typing it for yourself in that, and the only reason to type it for yourself is to prove your intelligence

you think they will change their entire worldview and self-reflection process because a guy named topology on looksmax.org critiqued (rightfully or wrongfully) their opinion?

and to the "1+1=3", whenever i see a thread i disagree with but i dont think im smart enough to say anything i dont post

You sound like insecurity, trauma, and more bundled into one. You sound like you're no one and everyone at the same time.

i do not understand what this means

there is no need for you to respond ig since there is no new understanding that will be created, but ig i js wanted to write a response in this

no not u

The point isn't to call me "cringe," it's about the mentality behind it. Your level of intelligence has no bearing on facts. There are many examples that go against your point.

Lorence, Master, and more are all related. You viewing it as me "trying to sound superior" is a problem on your end, this is what you fail to realize. Someone trying too hard to sound smart is someone who spews garbage/water while being confident of XYZ. You're projecting your own issues onto me. You cannot grasp the fact that some people exist like me. There is a difference between what you feel & what you know is true. You saying "I know you're superior" has no bearing on how you truly feel, it's not being delusional at best.

The topic in it of itself is one rooted in insecurity and trauma.

your typing the truth but theres no reason to

you are only typing it for yourself in that, and the only reason to type it for yourself is to prove your intelligence

you think they will change their entire worldview and self-reflection process because a guy named topology on looksmax.org critiqued (rightfully or wrongfully) their opinion?

and to the "1+1=3", whenever i see a thread i disagree with but i dont think im smart enough to say anything i dont post

This is off topic, the only one of the examples you provided which fit is the first one. Lorence tries to act schizophrenic to feel unique. The entire point is to say something off topic. That's what I did.

If I'm typing it for myself how is it for "proving my intelligence?" It's for my own ego & praise of others? Once again, not accurate with my past.

Regarding your third point, it has happened many times now. I've convinced many due to posts like that to start things which they were previously against.

i do not understand what this means

there is no need for you to respond ig since there is no new understanding that will be created, but ig i js wanted to write a response in this

Isn't this quite hypocritical? There's no reason to type this if "here is no new understanding that will be created, but ig i js wanted to write a response in this." You're doing such that you point out my flaw for.

The point is that your dislike of me is rooted in insecurity/trauma & not logic. Who really are you? Share with the class.

i brought up intelligence to say i don't know if i'm superior and i'm not arguing to be superior

i don't know my intelligence, morality, or anything in relation to you (i have some guesses though)

to be honest i don't know if you are arguing for a sense of superiority

but obviously you aren't arguing for these people to better their lives, since we both know the chances they follow through is low

so the question is why do you psychoanalyze these people without being prompted when you know they wont benefit from it

ig i should have asked you first, but i went with the most likely answer that it was to feel superior

You saying "I know you're superior" has no bearing on how you truly feel, it's not being delusional at best.

i never said you were superior where did you get that from

i said you might be

This is off topic, the only one of the examples you provided which fit is the first one. Lorence tries to act schizophrenic to feel unique. The entire point is to say something off topic. That's what I did.

yeah i should have put more effort in this thread, but why leave it so open-ended where people can just misinterpret it

as it stands, if you were some completely randon person reading it, you'd think "What is this mask Lorence has?", theres no answer and looking theough his profile reveals nothing, so the easy assumption is just the person posting it must have said it for the sake of it

If I'm typing it for myself how is it for "proving my intelligence?" It's for my own ego & praise of others? Once again, not accurate with my past.

you can prove your intelligence for your own ego

Regarding your third point, it has happened many times now. I've convinced many due to posts like that to start things which they were previously against.

send an example, i have a belief that most people on this forum are resistant to having their beliefs changed (although, they are more flexible then the average person online, which i could name multiple reasons why but its unrelated)

Isn't this quite hypocritical? There's no reason to type this if "here is no new understanding that will be created, but ig i js wanted to write a response in this." You're doing such that you point out my flaw for.

yeah your right there, i guess i was just writing it out to attempt to finish the conversation and bring it to a natural end, since i generally prefer to finish things instead of leaving it open

The point is that your dislike of me is rooted in insecurity/trauma & not logic. Who really are you? Share with the class.

Not relevant when the soul is unknown to the self.

who i am isn't relevant to the point that i am making, it is unimportant

i am not insecure, i'd say the opposite

 

[topology]

i never said you were superior where did you get that from

i said you might be

Not the point..? Stating I might be is a logical truth rather than your emotional truth. That is what the message was.

to be honest i don't know if you are arguing for a sense of superiority

So.....?

but obviously you aren't arguing for these people to better their lives, since we both know the chances they follow through is low

It's a minute of my time, you're acting like I've spent hours psychoanalyzing people for a low conversation rate. There's no difference on whether I speak to them or not, I like the topic anyways.

so the question is why do you psychoanalyze these people without being prompted when you know they wont benefit from it

People have benefited from it. When someone is down and truly digs into how they feel is when my words will have an impact. I've seen it in real time.

yeah i should have put more effort in this thread, but why leave it so open-ended where people can just misinterpret it

Because he knows what I mean & the intention isn't to start a clown parade.

as it stands, if you were some completely randon person reading it, you'd think "What is this mask Lorence has?", theres no answer and looking theough his profile reveals nothing, so the easy assumption is just the person posting it must have said it for the sake of it

That is indeed the goal.

you can prove your intelligence for your own ego

There's so many things to dissect here. I'm doing this for my own ego now and not for praise? As in I'm in a circle jerk of my own?

send an example, i have a belief that most people on this forum are resistant to having their beliefs changed (although, they are more flexible then the average person online, which i could name multiple reasons why but its unrelated)

Do you imagine people who are going through an "episode" want it to be publicized? It's in DMs which I cannot leak else I'm banned. Some people in public chats have said I've changed their outlook on things like therapy which you may be able to find. People are resistant to changing their beliefs until they go through something.

yeah your right there, i guess i was just writing it out to attempt to finish the conversation and bring it to a natural end, since i generally prefer to finish things instead of leaving it open

You know that's not why. Confront your ego and stop letting it shape reality in a way that suits your current belief system. The takeaway for you should be the hypocrisy within your own system rather than me being right or wrong.

who i am isn't relevant to the point that i am making, it is unimportant

i am not insecure, i'd say the opposite

It's very relevant. Finding what I say as me needing to "prove I'm smart" will make plenty of sense once you discuss who you are.

You don't need to prove anything if you're on this forum you clinically have below 60 IQ

 

[Algernon]

Not the point..? Stating I might be is a logical truth rather than your emotional truth. That is what the message was.


So.....?

i was saying I do not know if you are superior or not, so when i argue i'm not attempting to prove my superiority because i don't know my place to you

you were wording it as if i were saying i'm superior, which is wrong, i never said i was superior or was trying to turn it into an argument since i don't know if i'd win or lose, + it has no relation to the original point

It's a minute of my time, you're acting like I've spent hours psychoanalyzing people for a low conversation rate. There's no difference on whether I speak to them or not, I like the topic anyways.

i would have said smth like time builds up but if you like the topic ig my point was vague

People have benefited from it. When someone is down and truly digs into how they feel is when my words will have an impact. I've seen it in real time.

well thats good at least, i guess my original point about it being about superiority was wrong so theres no point in this argument anymore, still it applies to other members of this forum though

Because he knows what I mean & the intention isn't to start a clown parade.


That is indeed the goal.

so the goal is to make people think you say things of no substance while you talk to Lorence privately? at that point why not DM him instead if making an open thread

There's so many things to dissect here. I'm doing this for my own ego now and not for praise? As in I'm in a circle jerk of my own?

its possible, and able to be easily interpreted from the original message (and that was the intention of my original message, i never meant it was for praise, i just misworded it)

Do you imagine people who are going through an "episode" want it to be publicized? It's in DMs which I cannot leak else I'm banned. Some people in public chats have said I've changed their outlook on things like therapy which you may be able to find. People are resistant to changing their beliefs until they go through something.

oh mb, i thought you were talking about public ones in posts like w/ lorence

You know that's not why. Confront your ego and stop letting it shape reality in a way that suits your current belief system. The takeaway for you should be the hypocrisy within your own system rather than me being right or wrong.

my current belief system is good

it accurately describes and betters my life, there is no hypocrisy in it

It's very relevant. Finding what I say as me needing to "prove I'm smart" will make plenty of sense once you discuss who you are.

who i am has no relation to the fact of whether your obsession with psychoanalysis is related to superiority or helpfulness

either way i don't like sending details online about myself, poor security (among other things)

i have never gone in with the intention of disproving people like you do, so in that case it makes sense why people request things from you, while for me right now there is no purpose of sending any information of myself
