When did this style of psychoanalysis become popular? Everyone now uses these terms and instead of coming off like an informed take it just sounds like "I'm just trying to insult other people". At some point, the online forum take of "all the successful guys are sad and I'm not as successful because I'm well-adjusted" has gotten boring. I get that people want to feel better about their lives but this is just embarrassing.





This comment kind of comes off as "I'm just trying to insult other people".

Hmm, fair enough. I was trying to insult the observed behaviour whereas he was trying to insult the implied behaviour and I would expect them to be different (because the latter is guesswork) but I suppose it seems the same way to you. Ah well.
