We Quit Cigarettes

[FortCluck]

Go Kiki you're kicking some serious butt. Today I'm offing two Cockerels, you'd be proud. Hoping they'll have some good meat on them. One is the giant cross that I hatched from my flock. If he's a nice size we will continue hatching eggs from the barred rock.

@CarpCharacin you might need to start a new thread if you want to continue to obsess over these assessments.
This thread is for quitting addictive behaviors.
How can we help..... you start new and healthy habits?

I may start a new thread. There's nothing wrong with being interested in the assessments, the therapist I'm seeing doesn't think that I'm suffering from any kind of personality pathology.

The Mex has been using my bike to ride with the mini.
We need to get one more bike this year.

I ride a bike to go to work and do my shoppings.

I'll take all of these silly test but I don't believe them for a second.

Most of them are actually scientific/studied/researched heavily and not just random scam or fake ones or whatever like that are you gross test

No. Seriously, no. I'm not saying they can't be useful in the hands of a competent professional, but what we're doing here is recreational and TBH, we'd be better off taking a walk or a bike ride, looking at chickens or the stars, snow skiing, climbing a big rock... oh anything really, other than navel-gazing online--preferably outdoors in the sun.

I do agree in his case it’s become a bit of an obsession or whatever but most of the tests themselves were designed by professionals. So in that sense they are “legit” but like you said, most also are not designed to be taken recreationally and are designed to be taken and interpreted by a professional. Most of them even say that. That it’s just for education or fun and not a real diagnosis. So Carp is definitely worrying himself for nothing and needs to find a new hobby. And this is coming from someone who is constantly worrying and has been a bit of a hypochondriac myself on other things before.

I'm not too worried about my personality as of now

I added a disclaimer in my assessment thread, saying that the tests are for fun.

I fell asleep around 2 AM, and now I'm awake, and I can't fall back asleep.

Your personality is fine but this is a bit of an obsession with the diagnoses. not that there’s anything wrong with that. But should probably ask about it.

If counting sheep doesnt help, you can try counting chickens
