All I'm learning from this thread is that no one can tell any consistent signs.

Schrödinger’s Thread - there’s an equal chance you’re either a child or a bear until proven otherwise.

We should all be learning that we're all children. Some of us, over time, gain a lot more baggage and issues, but that shit just layers right on top of the "child" parts so we're all just basically children with complex problems.

The brain doesn't "prune" itself. The brain you had when you were 12, you have that same damn brain. It doesn't change. Stuff just gets added to it.
