This has farreaching implications.

Suddenly you admit that the thread is useful for psychiatric evaluation. Allrightythen. Let's have at it.
Delusions of grandeur. That's item number one on the list.
Delusions of persecution. That's number two.
Unrealistic belief in ability, knowledge, or ideas. That's number three.
Detailed and bizarre thoughts and ideas. Number four.
Distorted perception of reality. Number five.
I'm so glad you finally realized that a two year long thread is useful for psychoanalysis. |
I feel oddly vindicated by this...not in a hostile way, just as someone who is used to defending the use of depth-psychological theory (which includes, but is not limited to psychoanalysis) in literature and culture against people who have only the vaguest idea of either typically culled from bad Seinfeld episodes and even worse 80s movies.
