Highly intelligent outlier men often have an underdeveloped Anima which, if unlocked, will revolutionise their genius into something near incomprehensible.
It's not often that a text on the Internet speaks to me so deeply that I take the time to comment on it.
The first part of the article touched me in a personal way, making me emotional and reliving events from my childhood/adolescence that may well have caused me trauma. I imagine that's why I'm cold, I don't think I'll be loved and, as you wrote, I can't connect with the Anima.
Your choice of words, like an artisan, impacted my heart like no other article here (or on Twitter) has been able to do.
Lauren, thank you for once again being a light in the midst of the emotional darkness that I and so many others are caught up in.
I've never read anything that I felt described me better, but I'm conflicted. Using the word genius feels like crass bait for ego-stroking. Maybe that's lure for the kind of guy who needs to read this. But it makes me unlikely to share it, since at first glance I'll just come off like a narcissist.
Apart from identifying as highly intelligent, seems like you described a struggle very similar to mine. It's possible this is simply a very common hardship endured by men due to societal standards starting very early in boyhood.
This resonated deeply but maybe I'm just flattering myself; I feel like I'm on the precipice of this particular journey and may be beginning to take the first steps. A very evocative piece of writing regardless. Thank you.
Superb, truly. Fascinating, luminescent, alive. The outlier genius focus is a new terrain to me & while not in my experience the elements required for healing are quite recognizable, the whole experience in reading is one of warm, exciting, expansive delight. Many thanks. Kvn.
Thank you for the insight and invitation to visit the dark side of life.
I dissociated from the darkness and therefore denied myself its instruction. Your literary article is an invitation to revisit a dimension of darkness with its power to impregnate life.

there is no way that a woman wrote this.
what is going on here?
I went to high school with at least 3 women that could write like this. Very artsy and highly intelligent.
Could be AI. I'll have to check out more of her pieces.
Not AI, there is the grace of true human intelligence flowing throughout.
You know, I never did check back and read more. I'll take your word for it.

Yes the "bait" aspect did cross my mind. Still the writing is good & worth attention until something doesn't add up.
Look up “echoist”
Good tip, thanks!
This is remarkably insightful and deeply resonant. 🙏
Absolutely brilliant piece. Every word resonates deeply.
Thanks for writing this.

This is under the skin and close to the bone.
Fascinating, bookmarked
Whatever path it is that you are on, and have been travelling—you have clearly been going the right way. This piece drips with truth.

Hyper-intelligent men make the best girl dads, both for their daughter and for themselves.

Poised. Posited. Perfunctory. Poetry.
Second time reading, and I continue to resonate with new insight, each time around & through.
Bravo! (airclaps in a circle to give you a round of applause!)
I’m so impressed and so interested to hear your story. Have you written some of it?
Thank you. Just snippets of my life so far.
This was an incredible piece and speaks to me deeply.. feels like I’m tangled in such a web
