Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.

is this the way that others see me?
I think I was just called this. Idk.

Nope, you weren't being called pretentious, if you're referring to my thread just posted.

It was not directed at anyone one in the "Moods" thread.

My idea of pretentiousness is that behavior is different from what that person says. It's like saying that in pretentiousness one is not inwardly what one outwardly lives. Does that make sense?

Lack of pretentiousness occurs in integrity. That's the thing that is really so
valuable in life for all, IMHO.

Lol, no. You weren't being called pretentious, not by a long shot!!

Sensitive? Maybe, but that's part of bipolar illness' symptoms. I think we all
have that, some of us to an extreme--not you, please. It's just part of the
illness and often an indication of a giftedness of one type (most often in
the arts, I think), but it may appear in any aspect of one's life.

Really best wishes to you all.

i guess i'm just really sensitive right now. sorry

it's the manic life Dan...

over-intelligent...
over-complicated
over-creative
over-indulgent

over-sensitive

I don't know exactly who's got any of this life experience right?

I sure don't

everyone is kinda pretentious huh?...like it's survival yep

I hope not, Dubblemonkey. Manic life would be so destructive.

Blood-and-guts reality hits hard, too, but it's there before us to make of
it what we will. Hopefully, we'll all be helpful in life.

Love to all.

manic life is destructive gen.....

debilitating is what I would call it
