The Daily Topical Nightmare: Hell On Earth

Millions of people take finasteride with huge success and no sides. Don't be bitter about those of us doing well on the drug.

We're all aware that many people have problems on it; you're told of the risks before you take the drug.

Never said it's irrelevant it does have an impact and I have felt it. But it's not that big. The benefits outweigh the minimal side effects.

You admitted it had an impact.

The problem is, what will happen to the tissue that is not exposed to DHT over 10 years?

Do you get what I wrote? I'm better than the average person in a good deal of technical stuff, linguistics, etc. Other people, as well as my accomplishments and grades, confirm that to me and reassure me of those facts.

Yet despite that, I think of myself as being beneath people who in all aspects of life are less capable, intelligent, and accomplished than myself, simply due to my issues with self-confidence.

I don't know how you can interpret that as ego-centric, if anything other people probably give me more credit than I give to myself.

You posit yourself as objectively superior, and concede "self-confidence" as your only undoing, yet see no contradictions in these statements. You can also add insufferable as a flaw.

There is no contradiction, I am aware of these things when people tell me 'Hey, you're really good at X' and for a short while I feel better about myself - but it wears off. I tend to forget all the positives and usually think of myself as less worthy and capable than what I objectively am. I have issues with self-confidence and social anxiety. Being aware of your capabilities but having a substandard perception of yourself are not mutually exclusive things.

You can also add insufferable as a flaw.

You can perhaps add 'telepath' or 'shrink' to your résumé, as your ability to construe someone's personality over several forum posts is uncanny.
