What brings you to Psych forums?

###$, it was supposed to be a poll with options:

1. I'm looking for help/insight/guidance with my issues.
2. I'm looking to offer help/insight/guidance to others.
3. I'm looking for emotional support/sympathy for my issues.
4. I'm looking to offer emotional support/sympathy to others.
5. I'm looking for entertainment.
6. I'm looking for stimulating discussion and ideas.
7. I'm looking for attention.
8. I'm looking for power.
9. I'm looking to feel superior to, criticize, and/or mock others.
10. I'm looking to escape real life for the moment.
11. I'm looking to avoid doing something more important and tedious.
12. I'm looking to stir the pot.
13. I'm looking to express myself and/or figure stuff out. My posts are a dialogue with myself.
14. I'm here to talk to people like me. There are few in real life.
15. I'm here for a reason not listed here.

So...

Which of these things are you here for?
Which of these are you NOT here for?

I suppose I left out:

16. I'm looking to feel inferior to others, to be criticized and/or mocked.

I don't know.

Must be mad.

1
5
13
14

Mainly for the ads but also 1, 2, 5, 6, 10, 11, 13, 14.

I was searching for the Lost City of Toolamwamba.

6, 13, 14 and 15.

1, 4, 6, 11, 14

Maybe 10 as well

Well, I guess this is the best place to make my first post.
I am here for the following:
#1, #2, #3, #4, #5 (because the internet is the best place for this ), #6, and #10.

I am not here for:
#7, #8, or #12.

Also, I feel like this will be a healthy venture for me, as I love being apart of a forum and developing healthy and cool friendships with people whom I can relate. I hope to find that here.

Can't be bothered with the numbering system. Words suit me right now.
Originally, I came here because I had a mother dx'd w/ malignant NPD and I didn't want to discuss that with others in my real life. I found this forum... the first forum I'd ever participated in.
Now, I've made a few friends and we keep in loose contact.
It's a place where I can say things that I won't say outside my circle of close friends and family.
Sometimes, I learn something new.
Often, it serves as a low-energy pastime. It's within my skillset but I'm not obligated to use it and that feels like a relief at times.
I have a family member who participates now and then and that's interesting to me.
I have a family member who is dx'd AsPD and I learn something about how that expresses itself in others to the extent that they're telling the truth .
I am interested in people of all sorts and there are definitely all sorts here.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
