I left out the messages from the other guy, don't worry there weren't many of them.

Discuss.

Teran9017 (00:52:35): you know there's something seriously wrong with me
Teran9017 (00:55:45): give me a minute it'll take a while
Teran9017 (00:57:53): so basically, I have this compulsive, obsessive personality
Teran9017 (00:58:06): not as in turning on the tap 10 times to avoid killing someone
Teran9017 (00:58:38): but like, if I find something new to do, like say a new game, I immerse myself too deeply into it, beyond a level that's healthy
Teran9017 (00:58:51): if I get into a TV show, I'll torrent season after season and just marathon it
Teran9017 (00:59:27): I'll get into some person and be totally consumed by the urge to seduce them only to blow them off when it's done
Teran9017 (00:59:41): yeah
Teran9017 (01:00:00): it's also annoying because I can do it for everything but my academic syllabus
Teran9017 (01:00:09): I can read OUTSIDE the syllabus obsessively
Teran9017 (01:00:26): like I could just plow through Grey's Anatomy or some crap once I got into it
Teran9017 (01:00:52): pretty much anything except my designated field of study
Teran9017 (01:01:06): but the relationship problem is a pretty big issue I think
Teran9017 (01:01:45): the reason why I avoid relationships is not to avoid getting hurt or commitment or whatever, it's because everytime I feel the urge to seduce someone I get this feeling that I'm only there for the thrill
Teran9017 (01:01:55): and that once it's all over I'll be bored because I've cracked the person
Teran9017 (01:02:09): it's like a Rubik's Cube, it sucks when you've solved it, it's boring
Teran9017 (01:04:14): I'm pretty good at never having drama problems
Teran9017 (01:04:20): but I'm very good at catalysing it
Teran9017 (01:04:49): I honestly don't know why I'm just telling you this on a whim
Teran9017 (01:04:54): I thought it'd be fun to discuss though
Teran9017 (01:05:08): people often ask me lots of questions and I deflect

I'm not a shrink, but anyway. It seems like you have some difficulty with delayed gratification. Do you think much in terms of the future, or do you live only in the moment?

It would be OCD if those repeating behaviors serve the purpose of relieving anxiety caused by something else, something that you're obsessed with even though it bothers you to the extreme.

As for the relationships, I don't know. Did any past experiences, maybe, make you prioritize yourself over others? It could be that your capacity for empathy is slightly diminished, at least enough for it to interfere with your ability to form emotional bonds with your romantic partners. It's the connection that keeps a relationship going after the challenge of seducing someone. The connection doesn't always have to be "love" or whatever, but usually there's a bond of some kind or some level of interest.

Boys aren't very hard to seduce, Teran.
They're harder than girls.

All I need to get some female attention is show no discretion with a wallet full of cash. With boys you have to be good looking, especially if they are.

You shouldn't talk about a game you don't fully understand.

Also seducing people in relationships is great.

It might be hard if you're ugly, Teran, but being attractive isn't a difficult thing to do. You either have it, or you don't.

Everything is pretty true apart from the last one. You answer everything with what I wanted AND more.

as for immersing yourself in everything but your field of study, I am in exactly the same situation.

...

I hate it.

I'm the same way (except with relationships). And I can't do the same for school related subjects as well. it's really quite annoying. and half of the time i lose interest in the things i like to do anyway. idk maybe il make a blog on my perspective of it soon.
