I feel like people on Facebook are trying to secretly tell me I’m not a conscious being.
I mean, I have very deep emotions, able to reflect on my thoughts, I’m self aware, I am externally aware enough to take photographs, etc.
am I being delusional? Do you think I’m a conscious being?
if you’re human you’re a conscious being, right? It’s what separates us from animals.
Plenty of animals are also consciousness. Dogs and cats for example.
Yeah, you’re right.
You are not a philosophical zombie if i understand that concept to mean what youre saying
You do have sz though. Youre an impaired thinker to some extent, but you can think independent if your delusions it seems. You just csnt outthink them well.
I hope it doesn’t mean I’m stupid. My delusions can be intense. I’m going on a new medication soon.
youre not stupid, but at the same time being stupid is part of being an intelligent being. nobody is 100% intelligent, one has to make peace with the fact. being sz is about being mortal like anyone, its a condition of the failing body. its not intelligence or lack of it. are you stupid? no. is everyone stupid or capable of stupidity, yes! got to make peace with being a mortal being capable of stupidity.
I feel like a robot when I’m at work.
Hey man…i think I get what your saying. In a strictness sense we all are conscious but this munk i follow and many other people ive read about say that we can be self aware and mindful to certain degrees.
In my case because im kinda off…sometimes I am almost completely mindless and raptured in deep emotion or craving or some type of sensory pleasure… When im in this state I feel like people would hate the quality of my mind. But its possible to come back to mindfulness if your not to excited or whatever.
I know we dont talk much on here but ive seen your post and some of your delusions match mine… Reason would say people are probably not calling you a mindless being…its probably your mind playing tricks bro…
Take it from someone who is an expert at mindless states..you are aware
I doubt you aren’t conscious, other wise you wouldn’t know what to say or type. Everyone gets moments of being “mindless.” We zone out about 30-50% of the day. It’s natural. I’m feeling better from when I posted earlier. I’ve done some research and found this answer
Me too. I’m on autopilot at work.
Oh ok cool man!!! I guess it would be natural to be on autopilot to some degree. For myself …I think k I would like more mindfulness.
Also..bro I get the feeling your not a big fan of me lol
Should I not talk to you? @PhotoGuy my therapist is Jewish and we really get along well…
Not at all! You’re a cool person! I’m the same way with people online too. I think they don’t like me.
I’m just afraid everyone thinks I’m not truly alive. You don’t think that do do you?
I’m in the ‘often the difficult can be easier than the straight forward’ category. It’s not universal if you’re autistic, but it is quite common. Historically MHPs have been quite negative to those of us like that. They expect ‘relative uniformity of performance’ because the vast majority of people fit into that category. It’s a blind spot for many of them.
Early civilizations thought animals were magical and made of magic
On social media, people call other people “bots” at times. If I post something unpleasing, like an opinion or view, I sometimes get called a bot. Ridiculous.
Does anyone else have anything to add? I feel like Facebook is telling me I’m not alive.
You’re as real as I am. And I’m real.
I’ve been told in a chat that I sound like AI. I did not like it. Text only conversation leaves out so much, it’s frustrating sometimes. Okay, for me, often.
