The Case For Conor Being Bipolar

[Deleted member 110072]

The stretch between Cowboy and Poirier fights he behaves nicely. Can control it. After a loss the vile comes out. People who suffer from bipolar disorder can't control it. They can get sick suddenly, or based on time of year. Conor chooses which role to play. A sickness doesn't look to dictate it.

Pretty much, it doesnt seem to have the randomness of bipolar, just seems like a arrogant man who reacts very negatively when he doesnt get the outcome he wants after likely getting his own way almost all the time otherwise.

I wouldnt even really call him a narcissist, that implies more of an inner weakness thats being compensated for that might be rather more pitiable.

Conor is just crazy

What is that. exacty. what is "just crazy"

 

[Maripucci]

Doing drugs also creates mood swings

 

[fedoriswar37]

May be be right . But he's also just a thug who got rich and developed a massive drug problem .

 

[gunlok]

All of his wild interactions is when he's drunk.

Drinking simply shows what is hidden beneath self-restraint. It adds nothing, it even changes very little in your personality. It just shows who you truly are.

Depressed people become more depressed, violent people become more violent,deviants become more deviant. However they don't magically get these traits from the bottle.

Not true, drinking and drugs, in general, brings out evil in people

 

[gunlok]

Not really. Unless we are talking extreme cases, where people barely able operate due to these issues... But Conor operates well. He is a MMA fighter (training definitely requires a lot) and has full control of his body and seems to be able to deal with both his family and business. He is hardly that example.

Most people, majority just show their true colors, after the bottle. Always amazes how many people (and sometimes, corrupt legal systems) are using alcohol as an excuse. I've been drinking at one point to death and saw a recording of what I was doing and saying while memory was blank. And I also saw, how some were using one sip as an immediate waiver of any responsibility (like to grope someone without permission or start a fight with someone). And nothing is added, if you talk enough to them sober, you eventually notice, it was real them all along.

That is false. I can assure you that you have never been around drunk people if you honestly think that. They are nothing a like and it completely changes their personality. Ever heard of the term liquid courage? You under the influence is not who you really are, it's you under the influence lol. That's why it's called being under the influence.

Meh, Do enough blow itll seem like youre bi polar. Hard to know what came first chicken or egg.

nah. Doesn’t work that way. That’s how wild animals act. Not adult humans. 99% of ufc fighters don’t keep an arsenal of awfulness that Conor keeps. Heat of the moment or not. Conor has a tank of subhuman responses that most just don’t possess

Apparently it does work that way because all fights with real beef even in a sport setting has similar things happen. You forget Tyson and his wild remarks and pre fights. Jones vs DC fight during their face-off. Shit happens. It's fighting first, sport second. So when you have real beef between people you see another side of the fight. That's why the brawl happened after Khabib and Conor. Most adult humans are not fighters or ever been a fight. How would they understand anything that relates to fighting? They wouldn't.

Yes Conor is an asshole that gets worse when he drinks. That's it really. It's pretty simple. He doesn't like certain people/fighters and certain fighters don't like him either. He talks shit about him, they talk shit about him. It's not that difficult to figure out. Conor likes to respond to anything said about him and antagonize people/fighters he has issues with. They do the same to him every chance they get, even if it isn't them that beat him.

If bipolar = billionaire polarizing.

McGregor has only McGregor to blame for his super shady behavior and not DP or his wife. Dustin always took the high road except for when McGregor BADLY crossed the line. Poirier has a clean reputation and McGregor has a horrible reputation. Blaming Poirier and his wife for McGregor's behavior is beyond stupid.

I never blamed Poirer or his wife for his behavior, care to quote where I did? I just said both were talking shit to each other after the fight, which they were. That is factual.

You simply give too much credit to those people, you've been drinking with. Like maybe lowkey defending them, when they were at their weak point (like friends usually do, which is normal, to some extent).

Conor isn't bipolar. He's a famous prick. There's a difference. From somebody with a bipolar diagnosis.

I'm not defending anyone. This was all about original ts using his drunken moments and trying to assess his mental state. He's under the influence, you don't assess people under the influence to try and label a mental illness. Conor most likely is an asshole who says mean things when he drinks. All the psychoanalysis is foolish to do, you assess sober actions and sober mind state. Not drunk/under the influence actions and mind state. That's it. I'm not defending Conor's actions, I'm just saying it doesn't relate to what ts is originally trying to imply with his assessment.

You're embarrassing yourself. McGregor started all the flinging of horseshit after the fight. The Poirier's simply responded to McGregor's poor behavior. BTW Dustin was right, McGregor is a "dirtbag".

I'm not embarrassing myself lol. I'm neutral and not emotionally affected by either person and what they do. You are embarrassing yourself. End quote.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

He probably has some type of mental issues being made worse by CTE and his recent (and drastic) decline. Conor was the definition of fake it till you make it. He talked himself up as loud as possible to quite the demons but when that talk is clearly only talk...demons get louder

to wade into the briefly, I think everything that you have posted thus far has been pretty level headed ( as a lot of your posts generally are) and on the mark.
These dudes trying to hooking into you are just looking for an argument thats not there.

The simplest answer is usually the correct one. He acts real humble when he is facing rape charges. He doesn't when he isn't. He acts like a shithead while high and drunk because he can't hide it. He hides it sometimes when sober. He commits criminal activity when he thinks he can get away with it due to how much money he has (and history has shown he can get away with it), but he gives pseudo-motivational speeches when his subhuman fan base cheers him on as an inspiration.

This isn't psychoanalysis-worthy. It is basic two-faced shitty human nature.

Most people don't psychoanalyze priests who rape little kids and say "gee what is going on in their head." Who gives a shit what goes on in their head. They're assholes who do evil things because they can, and usually they continue to do it because society has put the assholes in a position of power where they can do it without consequences.
