“I see you’ve been through enough traumatic experiences that you’ve developed age inappropriate styles of communication as a defense mechanism” is really what that means.

Or maybe they were creeped out because you said things way too mature

You know I was thinking, there really is no objective meaning to life. Everyone kind of chooses something they think is important to them but really, it doesn’t matter. It seems like all human endeavour is ultimately pointless in the timescale of the universe anyway but I just keep going because I’m not sure what else to do, not because it matters in any real sense.


For fucks sake Timmy, fine, you can have an extra scoop of ice cream just stop trying to give everyone an existential crisis.

Exactly. It has a lot to do with how your parents treat you as a child. I was always treated like a small adult, so I never had an issue getting along with adults (my mother has her masters in childhood development, so I’m assuming she knew what she was doing). If your parents treat you like a dumb kid, then that’s how you expect adults to interact with you.

They’re definitely not mutually exclusive.

Is serotonin just the placeholder word to use when you have no understanding of neurotransmitters? Seriously, serotonin has like a hundred purposes in the body, what are they trying to refer to?

The advertising for SSRIs convinced a lot of people that depression is cause by not enough serotonin, so there’s this idea that serotonin = happiness.

Yeah, I don’t usually like arguing semantics but the serotonin thing grinds my gears since there’s so many causes and treatments to depression and serotonin isn’t even involved in many situations.

Us old folk heard that depression was because of low serotonin years ago, and the idea stuck like old gum to the underside of a desk. Yeah, it could be scrapped off, but since we don’t ever see the bottom of the desk, why would we put in the effort. As a side note, that you for you comment as a reminder that I need to see what new treatments to depression do and look into what we have discovered in the last 20 years…

I don’t know if this is true. I know a kid that I consider an old soul and he will say something not only wise, but empathetic and sweet to someone when we’re just talking. Then he’ll fart in your face and giggle his ass off.
