Okay Admit It..... Who's got the Barnum Effect? (33)
Okay I'll help you out.....
The Barnum effect is the name given to a type of subjective validation in which a person finds personal meaning in statements that could apply to many people.
The Barnum effect is an expression that seems to have originated with psychologist Paul Meehl, in deference to circus man P. T. Barnum's reputation as a master psychological manipulator who is said to have claimed
"We have something for everybody."

It has nothing to do with having delusions
If you have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them. You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage. At times you have serious doubts whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing.
That's what the Barnum effect is too many on here.... You read the post and threads of many on here
IMHO.... that's what I've spotted going on in here for a few weeks....
PS: this not a personal attack on any one person.. it's just an observation
