You know what is worse? Depressed bed blobs pretending that they are introverts and normalizing antisocial behaviour. Healthy introverts have and regularly meets friends. They just don't do it as often and in the same way as extroverts. I know these things because I went to therapy instead of trying to normalize my insecurities on the internet.

Also, you do know who wrote that article, don't you? As a liberal, I did vote for her, and felt very icky having to do so, but it was (barely) better than the alternative. Before you put her words on that pedestal, ask your therapist if they agree about this brief psychological profile of her:

A psychological analysis of Hillary Clinton — Democratic nominee in the 2016 presidential election — by Rylee Pool and Aubrey Immelman, Ph.D., at the Unit for the Study of Personality in Politics, revealed that Clinton’s predominant personality patterns are Ambitious/self-serving (a measure of narcissism) and Dominant/controlling, infused with secondary features of the Conscientious/dutiful and Retiring/reserved patterns. In summary, Clinton’s personality composite can be characterized as an adaptive elitist narcissist. http://personality-politics.org/hillary-clinton

Is that someone's world view something you still think is good to promote? She IS the toxic extrovert.

This post is pretty dumb, gotta say.

Why? You Hillary lovers want to cost us another election by listening to her?

Ok man, you continue to follow her cult of personality. Just don’t cost us the election by listening to her drivel.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You think Hillary has a cult of personality?

Delusional.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I suppose you could say her thinking she could win a presidential race was delusional, yes. Good point, thank you.

Yes, we all know that's not what you meant, and I don't give frank.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She did win the popular vote though so doesn't that kind of undercut your argument that she wasn't unelectable?

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair point. I would answer... possibly. But I think a hot dog in a bun suit would have gotten more votes. Why? Because a) it wasn't Trump, and b) it wasn't Hillary.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I stumped for Bernie twice. Had hundreds of volunteer hours.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the DNC and Hillary railroaded him because big money / biz would never allow Bernie.

Can you give 3 examples of politicians in the US that don't fit similar (if not identical) behavioral patterns? Just curious.

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 1 year ago

I think you are projecting. Congrats on the therapy. Do the world a favor and keep going.
