Because, if you know your sad you might not work properly.


That doesn't really answer my question.

Hehe, I never tell them the results! They stay in my head. Unless... well yeah thats rare.


Then you are being judgemental.

Quite literally so.
No, but I loathe my partner physcoanalysing me at every oppurtunity. And I mean LOATHE.

I don't tend to psychoanalyse people, that's sort of weird. I do like freaking people the **** out with Freud's theory though, and watching them squirm uncomfortably when you talk about the parents is pretty funny.


Lol! I'd have thought everybody knew about that and would just dismiss it quicly and ignore you.

Freudians are incompetent.

Yeah, it's fun! If I wasn't judgemental I'd be like most other people, being oversensitive and pissed off.

No... the people who didn't do A level psychology are pretty gullible when it comes to that kind of thing.

Why you need to lie about being happy?

Because your sad but you dont want to admit it and if you dont lie about being happy then you'll remember your sad and then you'll breakdown etc :P

Sorry, I'm not using that word in its actual professional defination.

I'm using it as an informal term for interpreting speech and decisions of a person.


Ahh so not in a Freudian dream analysis free association etc sort of way? So you just sort of.. Watch people?

Haha, I can't remember when I learnt this. But I guess I've always been into psychiatry, despite not having much respect for it.

Haha no, not a freudian. But sometimes do dream analysis with non-sex related results :P

It's also why you are seen as an outcast.

Humans are social animals, and contrary to what apologists will tell you, being anything but social is a bad idea. You will get nowhere for being an introvert.

I hardly ever get pissed off, I am not judgmental. There is absolutely no corrolation between the two.

Stop over-analyzing situations, you're doing yourself no favours.

So why do you feel the need to assume that I am sad based on absolutely no knowledge about me?

Little insulting, isn't it? Is that the extent of your psychoanalytical skills?

I'm not really an introvert...I've been called blunt and outspoken. I don't convey results because it usually gets you into trouble but most importantly messes up the observation.

No my psychoanalytical skills are continually expanding.

Are you insulted because I think your sad?

Do you think that perhaps you are outcast because you hold the belief that you are capable of deriving inside knowledge of other people (based on absolutely no experience of that person) and then proceed to make judgements based on that pseudo insight?

My point still stands, stop over-analyzing everyone.

I am outspoken (if not so blunt), but I am not seen as an outcast. Far from it.

Your over-analysis is probably a factor for your reputation as an outcast/weirdo.
