you gotta love the frequency of those (unironic) "i scored 135 on an online iq test; iq doesnt matter, though" posts in iq related threads. Or complaints about iq being the root cause of someone's muh anxiety and muh depression. As i said before, there s less variance in tskes on these forums than on reddit or any other npc central, lmao. I could make a list of 20-25 takes that would make up 99% of the "original" content here
I think on these forums I have met some of the most deeply insecure people I have ever encountered in my life(myself among them). The “vulnerable/covert narcissist” is probably one of the best descriptions of the typical user on these places. There is a need to justify the view that they are better than others while at the same time being faced with the reality of how much of a loser they are, so the positive traits they feel they have are then used as reasons for their “persecution”. I have definitely been guilty of this, and I remember paulus calling me a “vulnerable narcissist” on lookism which actually really irritated me. I get it though. For myself at least, my own private inner world has been a “safe space” for my ego.
Redditors and people on those places are usually less insecure and feel less need for ego protection
