Does it have to be a single type? I’m not much of a drug consumer. If we’re picking by frequency then I’d pick ibuprofen. If we’re picking by enjoyment, I’ll go for psilocybin. But I’m also an extremely occasional user so, if I could have a vault of mixed drugs I’ll go for a pretty varied list of common medicines/prescriptions, maybe some cosmetic stuff if that counts too, mushrooms and why not pot since we’re at it.

No matter which, I’ll end up sharing most I’m sure. I don’t really feel the need for a vault of drugs just for myself alone.

Will look into it, thanks for the answers :)

I’ll look into it. I’m not even sure why they’re different or if I’ve changed the settings in the past- but it would explain the behavior. Thanks for the answers :)

Hmm well not sure but I’ll try:

STR 6
DEX 12
CON 10
INT 12
WIS 12
CHA 8

Or perhaps more accurately would be to lower wisdom and dexterity and give myself expertise/proficiency on a few skills, namely, Perception, Nature, Animal Handling, Medicine, Insight, Sleight of Hand, Investigation.

I’d say it doesn’t matter. If it is the same product, chances are they are all reselling from the same manufacturer.

Since you’ve been to a psychologist for your assessment (is that what you mean by “psy”?) have you asked or considered the possibility of neurodivergence? I have suspected autism in myself for a while, and I resonate with much of what you said in regards to stimulus overwhelm, staying in your bubble, disdain for small talk etc. That’s pretty common in many autistic people.

I think it would be hard to isolate exactly how much of our daily lives we experience as a direct consequence of our IQ and how much is a consequence of other things such as personality, emotional predisposition, environment, and luck.

My IQ is pretty average (around 115 I think? I tested ages ago and I can’t even say the test was reliable). Some people insist I must be somewhat higher than that but I don’t know. I feel dumber every day.

My father though, he does have a higher IQ (I think 135 iirc) and it’s obvious to anyone that he’s a brains guy. Always top student in his youth and later a decent researcher, engineer and programmer. And yet he still makes dumb mistakes like everyone else, and his temper and personality will often turn a mediocre day into a bad one. He has a tendency to overcomplicate things unnecessarily, and sets high standards for others around him- you’d think being smarter would mean he wouldn’t do this, but as I said, intelligence doesn’t work isolated. I remember asking him how it feels like being smarter than most of his peers and his answer is always “bah!”.

So I don’t know if this answers your question, but there’s my two cents for you.

People here talking about “props”, and that’s fair and dandy but only and only if you truly like or are into said props. Because you will attract people who are into that too, but also repel those who aren’t. As a woman I never cared much about either people with dogs or babies. None of my business. But I have approached people with other animals or doing arts for example.

My recommendation would be to join a group activity and stick to it for a couple months. See how it goes, then switch to something else. It can be life drawing, bushwalking, patisserie, guitar, board games- you name it. This puts you back in control because the activity acts as the prop, and by context you are allowed to say “oh such nice drawings, how do you do xyz?” " Are those shoes good for walking?" “Do you bake often?” You start the conversation and it doesn’t need to be personal at all. I’m always surprised to see normal people cross the line and start asking personal questions about me once I make it obvious that I’m open to conversation.
