I am so much a one-level person that my sense of social insincerity has atrophied.
Rational straight man syndrome. So much a truth-finder you forget how to not speak the truth.
This seems to be associated with higher than average testosteron levels. If you inject testosterone to a random man he will very prone to not lie and be overly straightforward.
Sources?
Maybe I should get a blood test.
I suffer the same symptom. (and have an excessive amount of body hair, not that that's more than negligibly indicative of high testosterone levels)
What's the cheapest/easiest way to get tested? (more out of curiosity than anything else)
If I understand it correctly, you can go to your physician and ask for it. The test itself is quick, requires a blood sample, and I don't think it is very expensive.
