Smart
When people tell me I’m smart - a bunch of things run through my head
1. This person feels sorry for me and is playcating me in some way
2. This person is that much dumber than me to think I’m smart
3. They’re smart enough to know how to manipulate dumb people and think I’m dumb - so they use flattery like you would on a despot rambling in the street that won’t leave you alone.
3. They’re being sincere
The reactions btw - happen in this order.
Psychosis is real.
