      Yeah. While still not good, at least toxic self-deprecation/self-critical fatalism is more sympathetic than complete abdication of responsibility 🤷

        Nah, there’s no self deprecation in that. It’s more like they’re just rationalizing their shitty behavior ahead of time by pretending they have a characteristic that’s entirely out of their control.

        “Sorry I’m just [choosing to be] a removed” is more accurate.

          I’m with you most of the way (hence why I used words like “not good” and “toxic”), but who said anything about ahead of time?

      “Look, I’m not good with people, especially when I find them annoying. So if you think I’m a removed it’s just because I don’t like you 💖”

    Yeah, and they’re probably the first to accuse you of weaponizing your neurodivergence or depression/burnout.

    I’ve known a guy making predictions using astrology. Then his predictions completely missed COVID, only one of the biggest disruptions in our lives, and never talked about astrology again.

    Ha! This removed is a Sagittarius! 🤣 lol

    … Which I’ve read into in my younger years and often went “that’s not me, that’s not me at all.”

    One time I told this girl I’ve known for a long time that my birthday was in June and she said “wait your a cancer? that explains so much” and I really wanted to say “really, so what explains why you’re such a removed” unfortunately I was surrounded by a bunch of kids at the time so my rebuttal had to go missed

      I’m pretty sure that I’m smart because I avoid both. I base my personality on the ancient dinosaurs test.

    One of the managers at my job does this but with her disc profile. She makes everyone take one when they start as well. She seems to believe she’s the smartest person in the room, yet she’s over here eating up pseudoscience because she thinks it excuses her shitty behavior.
