強迫観念の反芻思考が止まらない

My identity is defined by having an IQ slightly above average—measured at a hospital—and by being an INTP.

I’m gripped by a sort of compulsion: doubts about whether I’m truly an INTP cross my mind, so I take tests on various sites to get that result, or repeatedly ask AI to "analyze my MBTI based on our conversation." When it confirms I’m an INTP, I feel a sense of relief mixed with a strange, inexplicable feeling of superiority.

It’s pathetic, really—especially considering I used to endlessly criticize the flaws of the MBTI system.

To an outsider, I’m spending almost every day doing something incredibly trivial.

I wonder if this obsessive behavior would improve if I simply didn't have so much free time.

Hearing it confirm "You are an INTP" gives me a sense of relief and a strange feeling of superiority.

It’s pathetic, really—especially considering I once rambled on in a previous post criticizing the flaws of the MBTI system.

"Lookism" can be described as an attitude that disregards intellect, as it reduces multifaceted standards of value—such as culture, intelligence, and character—to a single, superficial metric: physical appearance. This trend has become particularly pronounced in Japan in recent years.

A peacock's plumage serves as a sexual signal displayed at a cost that is clearly disadvantageous to survival. Excessive investment in personal appearance within human society bears a resemblance to this phenomenon. It represents a descent into irrational competition, where resources are poured into areas non-essential for survival—often with a disregard for the economic and psychological costs involved.

In Japan, cosmetic surgery has surged in popularity and gained broad social acceptance, a trend that continues to accelerate. Underlying this are the profit structures of the media and the beauty industry. "Before-and-after" presentations and influencer marketing generate revenue, while social media algorithms prioritize the spread of extreme comparisons and provocative content to boost engagement. Furthermore, a dynamic has emerged where individuals who have undergone surgery provoke others or assert dominance to justify their own choices.

However, this is not a criticism of the individuals who choose to undergo cosmetic surgery. The problem lies in the very design of economic and social incentives that make this choice feel almost mandatory. A concrete manifestation of this distortion is the improper off-label use of pharmaceuticals. Mounjaro, originally a treatment for type 2 diabetes, is increasingly being prescribed casually for weight loss through online consultations at cosmetic clinics—a situation that has prompted Eli Lilly Japan to issue an unusual warning against its use for aesthetic or slimming purposes. Indeed, shipment restrictions were imposed between 2023 and 2024, raising concerns that the supply for the drug's intended recipients—diabetes patients—could be compromised.

The proliferation of such hype and marketing impacts individual psychology—fostering self-loathing, hostility toward others, and the imposition of specific values—and ultimately distorts society as a whole.
