It took me up to like… Probably age 21 or so to realize this, though…
I was never “a degenerate” myself. I was more a “career activist” prior to that point. Because I thought, I suppose, that it was “the right thing to do”, or some sort of… Moral obligation.
In the end, though, I was just desperate for people to like me (which is unfortunately like, my defining personality trait). And then when I realised that, as a straight, “cis”, “huwhite” male, they were never going to like me, I sorta… Gave up on that.
I’m definitely not happier now, but at least I’m under no illusion as to where we are at. Or, for that matter, the value of false friends…
You’d think it would have positive benefits, but… In my experience, there’s far more negative than positive with it. Unfortunately
The past few years taught me that it causes fake friends to accumulate. You end up wasting time/resources maintaining these false relationships that are doomed to failure once shit gets real.
I really don’t know much about this stuff (how does it differ to Horoscopes, except in that this is probably more “accurate”?), but yeah, that’s… Essentially it.
It's not like a horoscope, it's meant to actually classify people by their personality type. I found it to be fare more accurate that than myer briggs ISTJ ENFP shit that lots of people talk about.
Yes, agreed. That was essentially my point.

I learned that stuff the hard way.
Sounds like an enneagram type 2
I'm a type 8, lol.
Side note: being a “people pleaser” is fucking awful.
I do not recommend it.
Because it is not something I consciously choose to do (or not to do), it really fucking gets in the way, lol…

Ah, yes, that… Is annoyingly accurate, lol.

What’s a Type 8 then?? I’m intrigued now, lol…
Type 8s are more dominant types.

My GF and I both fit the types very strongly. There are online tests you can check yours on.
