I just gone speaking to someone who insisted not only that "everyone loves weddings" but that this applies to gay weddings.

Even more disturbingly I got the suspicion this person may have been trying to bait me into an argument.

Can anyone tell me what mental condition(s) this sounds like?

By itself, it doesn't sound like anything. BTW, if you're not a qualified mental health professional and you barely know the person, you really shouldn't be trying to diagnose them anyways.

Considering that even California voted against gay marriage it's obvious not everyone approves of it.

And this is armchair psychology, no need to be overly serious.

Ah, OK. I think armchair psychology is crap and can be harmful.

Your mental condition sounds like "reading too much into casual overgeneralising".

It really doesn't sound like anything. To me they could have poor theory of mind but a lot of NTs will make blanket assumptions like these, and even if they were trying to bait you into an argument. It seems like normal behaviour. Or strange but nothing that points to any kind of mental illness.

Something I've seriously been wondering: What's the most likely mental disorder of a person that "doesn't know when to shut-up"?

This is based on an annoying overly-friendly person I know. Adults with AS usually know when to shut up btw, so don't say AS. lol

To OP: maybe that person's a sociopath(ASPD). They like to start arguments of course, and they also often "come out" as being bisexual/gay after getting sent to prison. In the free world they sometimes pretend to be totally straight, but often make gay related comments.

I've the same opinion and there is no need to dx anything when it's not serious anyway...

Maybe they just really like weddings and are projecting.

This thread/game should probably be moved here since everybody keeps acting like it's "serious business" on this board. :roll:

Thats not a mental disorder....if they where trying to bait you into an argument then they were quite simply being a troll like on the internet but IRL. Otherwise they must just have a very bad habit of making blanket generalizations based on what they like. I mean I can certainly say I don't like weddings I've been to a couple and yeah too many people, I don't care to sit through the ceremony or dress up nice to go in the first place.

The person is clearly suffering from argumentative-compulsive disorder. The person is compelled to argue with someone. The urge is like a sexual desire to have an orgasm except its called an argasm which theoretically occurs when someone wins an argument, which has never occurred in human history.

People like that have to 'bait' you first. Lure you into the argument.

And after years of that they may become quite proficient at luring you into debate.

Which makes them "master baiters"!
