    I don’t know if this qualifies (probably doesn’t) but When I meet a new person, I like to act like a smart guy at first and then act like a moron afterwards. It feels nice for some reason.

        I wanna say I could do or try this but I’m way to OCD figuratively speaking to see it through. I hate dumbing myself, particularly in the emotional realm, even tho it would often be significantly advantageous and less work and affirming for me

      You wouldn’t happen to have siblings? I wonder how many “complexes” or mentionable issues have their root in sibling-orthogonal or straight-up adjacent or full-blown causative matters…

      Kinda feel like i literally ran through the gamut of possible qualifiers but I hope you get my attempt here

        Yes I do have a brother. I like him even though he’s not exactly a bright person.

        But I wouldn’t classify this as a “complex”. Perhaps I should have explained it further. When I meet a new person, let’s say I saw them in a hallway and decided to talk and vice versa, I talk about philosophy, books, art, humanity’s issues etc. (Not pretending to know about those) But after we split and see each other again, I talk about stupid/pointless stuff. Such as “If I were a tree I would drop my apples on random people’s heads”

        I never bring up philosophy and stuff unless they bring it up or there is something around us that reminds me of it.

          For some reason, this reminds me of Stéphane Dion’s horse’s dream bit that I still have no fucking idea what the hell he was talking about or what inspired it hehe
