ITT we scientifically psychoanalyze mathfags.
>inb4 "neither science nor math"
Seethe, cope & project mathfag
So what infantile fixation is it that leads one to like math? What is it that draws someone to the misanthropic, antisocial and asocial world of abstract numbers?
My theory is that math draws social rejects because it lets them have a competition free outlet in which they may feel superior. Hence it feeds a superiority complex and represses an inferiority complex.
