Older and wiser me: “I should’ve done things when I was younger and dumber smh.”
Older and wiser me: “I’m gonna do the things I should’ve done when I was younger and dumber, but this time instead of being scared of unknown consequences I get to accept them knowing full well what they’ll be”
The hangovers hit differently after 35.
so wake me up when it’s all over…
The legends say this will happen when September ends, shall we wake you then?
What a noob, way better to wait till you’ve died and none of it matters anymore.
“In the time it takes to argue with yourself about doing it, you could have just done it already.”
Do normal people really argue with themselves?
I have aphantasia, no visual mind images, and was thinking about the cartoon representation of the devil and angel battling on the character’s shoulders.
I learned counting sheep meant actually watching sheep in their mind. Could it be like that?
I’m debating if I have an interal monologe. I can “speak” words in my head.
But I wrote this comment without planning and just wrote it down as it came to me saying each word in my inner voice as I typed it.
I’m by NO means a normal person, but I can have full conversations with imaginary people, and if I try, I can put that part of my own thoughts I’m ‘talking to’ into either a setting or a person I know’s body, at which point the me in my head talks to them like I would talk to that person. It’s like rubber ducking but in my own head.
But in terms of arguing with myself about things, I do it a lot when I weigh up pros and cons of doing something, different ‘parts of me/my brain’ giving differing opinions to come to a decision.
I mean this with no jokes or puns, but I can’t imagine having aphantasia, though that’s partially because my work and hobbies revolve around (that pun was intended) a lot of mental manipulation of 3d objects to understand how things work.
Thanks for the reply. Always interesting to hear what’s going on in other people’s minds.
My inner voice is just my voice. What’s weird is I can kind of hear David Attenborough’s voice. Like I know the sound and cadence but I couldn’t do an impersonation of it in my head and talk to myself. I believe if I practiced that I could but it’s similar to how I cannot change my spoken accent.
Honestly I feel better at 3d object mental manipulations than most people. While I cannot get an image of what I am “visualizing”, I am imagining it in my own way. Like I could build a Lego set in my mind and tell you how every brick interacts with the other bricks around it. The more bricks the harder it is but as long as it wasn’t an insane amount I could do it. I could read and imagine building it from the instruction manual and then really build the set with little problem without looking at the manual again. And l work as a Home Inspector on the side and I can remember a “3d rendering” of basically every house I remember doing. Where rooms are in relation to each other. Number of windows. Etc.
