Schizoid Personality Disorder is the Apollonian affliction while Borderline Personality Disorder is the Dionysian disease. It's incredible to me how these present themselves in such stark contrast, even though they seem to loop back in upon one another at times.

The schizoid is unfeeling. The borderline overfeeling. The schizoid is passive, the borderline active, the schizoid has himself and nothing else while the borderline has everyone but herself. The schizoid, of course being overwhelmingly masculine while the borderline is overwhelmingly feminine. Yet there is a tension within both of these illnesses. In the schizoid it is the tension between needing to be needed and needing to be independent. In the borderline it is the tension between needing to be independent yet fearing the degree isolation this may bring so horribly that she throws herself into the flames rather than facing it.

Both of these beings are severely unbalanced, of that there is little doubt. The ways in which they seek balance are what intrigues me. The borderline, being the active spirit flings herself forward into the arms of lovers, into the bottle, and about 10% of the time, into the bullet. The schizoid does no flinging, no rapid action. He plods along at his own pace, meandering aimlessly through a life never lived, always pondering the meaning of life without ever trying to find it.

Schizoid personality disorder (SPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency towards a solitary or sheltered lifestyle, secretiveness, emotional coldness, and apathy.

"lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency towards a solitary or sheltered lifestyle, secretiveness, emotional coldness, and apathy."

Why is the word Schizoid there (relation to Schizophrenia?) it makes it sound so much worse than those labels indicate.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental disorder marked by a pattern of ongoing instability in moods, behavior, self-image, and functioning. These experiences often result in impulsive actions and unstable relationships.

What book was it for you?

Not OP but Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas

Holy fuck, what a brilliantly researched and written book. I think a major turnoff for non-fiction (not counting philosophy) was pop-phil or pop-sci-- this was written like a dry, academic essay, but the information was absolutely fascinating. I read it so closely and so enjoyably that I was able to remember almost the majority of the book since I had read it (2 years ago).

I actually want more like it.

His sister hated Jews and leftists. You're either trolling or profoundly susceptible to propaganda that was debunked conclusively by the 50s, but either way I doubt you've read much Nietzsche. He really did hate women, though.

I'm going to write every single word that comes to mind and try to make something readable (oh sure) out of it, starting now:

The yeast is ridden in the garment. Yeast retains their rancid funneling which makes me think I need more food in my tummy. Gabriel tried funneling through the yeast yet Yuri was escalated towards radioactive gangrene. Humbly I said, "For you, I see, for me I wanted friends!", shrieking, I stumbled and gave him a blowjob. "Fuck, for me it is yeast!", he said. I never went back.

>I think modern art's almost total pre-occupation with subjectivism has led to anarchy and sterility in the arts. The notion that reality exists only in the artist's mind, and that the thing which simpler souls had for so long believed to be reality is only an illusion, was initially an invigorating force, but it eventually led to a lot of highly original, very personal and extremely uninteresting work.

You'll hate me for it. But it was Infinite Jest.
I was ashamed to be seen reading it so I covered it with a Chinese newspaper I found on an airplane in Spain. I carried it everywhere with me, my sneaky cover eventually fell off.
I could always turn to it when I'd had a bad day because it was so fucking long that it seemed like I just read it forever. If I ever had a security blanket, it was that book.

On The Edge

I was skeptical of the translation at first but I'm really enjoying the seamless flow of the narrator's toxic ranting

I am dead inside. What should I read to change this?

Nietzsche, Camus, and Dostoyevsky have both failed to do the trick. I see poetry in their words, but they kindle nothing beyond aesthetic appreciation for their ideas, no fire, no change.

Pictured unrelated, but vaguely uplifting.

What I loved most about Nietzsche was how he was a proto-/pol/ack, in terms of redpilled views. He hated semites, blacks, single mothers, women in general, tattoos, piercings, and atheists.

Anyone else think he would've been browsing /pol/ today had he been alive?

that's not the purpose of that thread.

also, yeah, he probably would have.
