Mhm i hear you on that.

I bet you have a pretty good read on people, 1). because you need to be able to understand your own emotions, and 2). it is kind of necessary to fit in

I read people well, but I have a hard time trusting my instincts. It's almost always in hindsight that I realize I should have listened to my gut.

*Edit - It may because I see most people as so different to me and I'm not tuned in to their frequency. I think they can't possibly be how I read them because their behavior is so foreign to me.

I have the opposite problem - I have trouble admitting my instincts are wrong, sometimes even when facts go against it

Honestly i think that is my most delusional area.. second would be not knowing how i am perceived by others which is self delusion

I can see where that could be problematic. Is that a narcissistic flaw/trait?

I have an issue with how I'm perceived, as well; I usually think people think the worst of me. That probably stems from abuse, both physical and emotional. But if I can stay mindful and aware I can combat it. There are times when that is right out the window though. Like now, I realized that I'm probably rapid cycling and it is driving those close to me right round the bend. Now...how to combat that?

It's definitely a narcissistic flaw, but at the same time, it is really hard not to make assumptions when historically I have a good track record

Yeah, I tend to think in extremes regarding others perception of me. Usually I think I am more flattering than I really am, other times I think I am being offputing when someone really doesn't even give a sht.

For combatting cycles, honestly man, I'm a big advocate for self medication. I tend to smoke weed for a month, stop for a month, ect since I was 15. It not only levels me out, but makes me feel passion and speeds up my heart rate while keeping me docile

Man...a pound, I'd be high at all times for a year.

A pound could last me 32 weeks if I smoked all day
