It's called hypomania. I get a mild variant of it every so often. I like it, you can daydream like it's nobody's business. I don't think there's a correlation between people who are considered introverted and mania. It's suspected that it is caused by a serotonic or dopaminergic imbalance.

.... yeeeeahhh.. wrong area of the world sorry dude.

bait bait bait Bombing North Korea and Iran is going to define the Obama presidency, and set a lovely precendent for nuclear poliferation amongst enemy nations. It should make for good newsutainment in 2011.

I hold everything back from people I don't know really well and trust. I like surprising people with something interesting they didn't know about me, and generally don't enjoy being emotionally or intellectually naked in front of people.

I try not to be too happy. In my experience, periods of great happiness are usually followed by periods of depression. So, I quell the volatility and sacrifice happiness for indefinite contentment. Happiness is just a carrot on a stick, and depression the whip. Try to keep the pace and you...

'something more' more like an uncoordinated gyrating monkey. :mhula:

Preach it, girlfriend. I think socializing for most people is just like a hamster wheel; lots of effort but it goes nowhere. Adding a whole lot of noise doesn't really impede the sharing of benign minor intricacies of their daily lives. Clubs are just places to show off, anyway, not to talk...

Kids are just puppets of their parents and will share any views or opinions that their parents do. The kid is quoted as saying the chemotherapy will probably kill him. Clearly he doesn't want to die. This chemotherapy would probably cure him, which is in his best interest. Where did this view...

I had a Hypomanic episode for a week. Man, was it ever great. Inflated sense of purpose, importance and identity. My thoughts were always racing, stunning revelations about the world, increased ability to learn and speak. Didn't last, but it was fun while it did. I also sent out countless...

The kid had a 90% chance of living with chemo therapy. Chances are the kid will die without it. Endangering the life of a child is akin to abuse, and abuse of a child should not be tolerated by the state. The parents are morons.

gee I wonder why Ghost World comes to mind.

I agree completely. I didn't read the entire thread which I should've. I'm not at all religious, but I also respect the beliefs of religious people. You can't generalize whether someone is 'good' or 'bad' based on whether or not they're religious. I don't like discrimination, but I cannot...

Oooo well said, I feel the same way. I use pain and negativity to get passionate and motivated about things I'd like to change. As long as it's an honest pain, and not something that doesn't deserve to get all angsty about.

If you take offense to argument, then you take offense to the pursuit of truth.
