Venting People are the same

[Saponification]

People are fundamentally the same conscious phenomenon but in different vessels. Once you acknowledge this you start seeing it everywhere. Rehashes of the same personality. We're all the same just under different circumstances. It's an obvious thought but when I started to think about it like this it became depressing as shit.

Furthermore, most people are severely lacking in self-awareness. People are like a closed little system that projects their worldview and past ego bruises onto others. It makes me think about how meaningless it is to chase shit such as validation and love from others. It's hard to not be extremely detached from others and reality after realizing this.

I always kept going because of the knawing thought that maybe I was just an edgy little bitch with a big ego and that I just needed to socialize more. But as I mature my worldview got even more nihilistic still. I could never in a million years imagine a reality more lame and depressing as whatever the fuck this is. Fuck just let me get over my fucking ego and survival instinct so I can self-annihilate already.

I've been told that I'm special, both in good ways and bad ways. I guess I'm special for having been in special education for the first half of my life. I guess I'm special because I was a gifted student in the latter half of my life. Something I have noticed, however, is that everyone is special. I found it to be odd.

All of the SPED kids were the same. All the gifted kids too. Each person behaves accordingly to the group they're in.

If everyone is special, nobody is.

I relate a lot, I feel like my self-awareness has come to a point where I shut down every thought as I immediately start to consider a million different perspectives while invalidating my own view of seeing life.

It appears to be an extreme. You have already mentioned the other pole: The total lack of self-awareness which too pisses me off. But which one is preferable as in, what's more practical? Do I want my thoughts to eat me alive or am I satisfied with just enough thoughts and cognitive processes to keep me alive?

Not to sound like a lil boomer but I feel like with social media and short form content, society was somewhat conditioned to react to a specific input (circumstance) with a specific output (opinion or even precise things to say)

It feels like society has therefore merged into a blurry, universal way of being. A shell devoid of will

Good night everybody

It genuinely looks like we are becoming a hivemind. Your concern is definetly real. It feels like social media is conditioning us to all react the same way to every opinion, situation etc... Can't even tell random real people from bots on most social media platforms tbh.

I think people are similar insofar as we all live the same objective reality. Were all reporting the same shit different ways, but just because were come in similar circumstances, doesnt negate the specifics of our being that make us dissimilar. These opposite poles take a unity as one identity driven by its own inner contradiction. We have the affinity for community and individuality, and to do something about that, we have to see ourselves as we are molded by our conditions and so mold the conditions and with it the self.
If you are a product of the world, act on the world. But most people won't get so far in their awareness. Yeah, a lot of people kind of blend into one face, they also all look at the same things.

I think the world would immediatly end, but the viewership of Spice And Wolf (2024) would absolutly skyrocket if there was such an unfortunate thing as many people like me.

more like open individualism

ב''ה,

Unbelievable but way back in 2017 at peak "everyone gets at least Adderall to keep up with the news" NPR aired a 'science and medicine' piece from the BBC of course basically saying that maybe 4% of the population had an imagination and work was underway to cure those misfits.

This was right when that 'all creativity is autism' movie got released. It was goofy before then but everything went to absolute shit forever immediately after all that.
