Sometimes, I think you get a little too deep . But what would I know .

Like this kind of shite? https://pacifictribune.com/2017/05/29/rita-strakosha-links-gayness-light/ I think these people just exist for our amusement . THEY are the freaks of nature! And to think, while I was innocently trying to point out where -any-study-such-as-that should hold our concern, I was probably (clearly), unbeknownst to me, speaking about the actual OP ‘PERSON’ and ‘THEIR’ tendencies... lets absolutely NOT give any personal pronouns here

I would say yes, it’s likely. But sexual differentiation is not something to be concerned about. If it was a similar study but with regards to expressing socio and psychopathic tendencies instead, then there would be need to be very concerned.

I really like reading your posts/threads/questions and contributions. You come across as a nice, deep guy. Personally, I think maybe your humour was mistook for an attack earlier. Don’t leave. Please.

Meredith - I wonder if you have heard of Munchausen’s Syndrome? If not, I strongly recommend you read about it.

Yes.

Not really - there is platonic love: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_love

If you think you are being poisoned, you should get some blood tests done.

I don’t know about the research you mention above but it has been shown that depressed people use language differently. This could then illicit different responses from people they are in contact with, IMO. http://theconversation.com/people-with-depression-use-language-differently-heres-how-to-spot-it-90877 Language can be separated into two components: content and style. The content relates to what we express – that is, the meaning or subject matter of statements. It will surprise no one to learn that those with symptoms of depression use an excessive amount of words conveying negative emotions, specifically negative adjectives and adverbs – such as “lonely”, “sad” or “miserable”. More interesting is the use of pronouns. Those with symptoms of depression use significantly more first person singular pronouns – such as “me”, “myself” and “I” – and significantly fewer second and third person pronouns – such as “they”, “them” or “she”. This pattern of pronoun use suggests people with depression are more focused on themselves, and less connected with others. Researchers have reported that pronouns are actually more reliable in identifying depression than negative emotion words.

Well, you don’t appear to be trolling today

As long as you help around the home I’m sure she’s ok with it.

You beat me to it! So, perhaps you can be a good listener instead?

Have you got a dog?

You are such a sweetheart

Have you read about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra

That more and more people are becoming narcissistic materialists and losing touch with what really matters.

Very interesting reading. Thanks Strange.

@Space Babe Your comments on reality v illusion really resonated with me. Haven’t really ever read it so succinctly. Thanks for that. Sorry I cannot comment more - I’m just so tired at the moment.

I think what you said is a pretty accurate representation of online personas. And perhaps the reason I shun any social online interaction beyond this site.

Don’t worry DrP, I’ve been following this thread and I don’t understand either. Can only assume it’s an American thing that Brits are unaware of.

Thanks Koti.

Is this post visually f*cked for everyone else? Not that what I can see is worth reading anyway.

Thanks studiot.
