Talking to Yourself.

[constant escape]

It helps tie things together, like I'm practicing explaining something to someone, a very scrutinizing someone who demands every detail be elaborated.

Provided it doesn't go anywhere unhealthy, this could actually be a great therapeutic practice, sort of projecting a superego-like role onto your reflection/interlocutor.

i never talk to myself, it seems silly

This is the most Danish thing you've ever said

Have you heard of the chair exercise from gestalt therapy?

Do you use your normal voice or put on a strange Professor Venkman voice?

Come to think of it, I'm not sure how audible it even is. The mouth-moving might be more of a formality, with the actual internalized dialogue being more or less internal internal itself.

That is, the visual detection of the reflection seems to prompt a certain social sensibility, but the ensuing dialogue needn't be voiced, seeing as both ends of the dialogue are internal.

No I haven't, is it similar?

 

[luka]

I see. I might try it.

Ish.

Sometimes this sort of self-interaction actually mitigates feelings of cosmic loneliness too. Provided you actually like yourself, which is an opinion you may need to work to maintain.

I mostly like myself. Sometimes I get bored of myself. Dissensus is my equivalent of talking in the mirror seeing as all the other posters are merely semi autonomous projections of various facets of my personality

 

[constant escape]

Interesting. Maybe you just enter a dissociative fugue and begin operating puppet accounts.

 

[luka]

I can't discount the possibility

Usually, perhaps always, taking the form of some discursive rant.

In my early 20s like yourself I took a load of mushrooms and went into this very intense rant for what felt like hours, pacing about the room dictating. It was like I tapped into a well and there was a massive pressure release. It’s happened a few times in my life, usually it’s gibberish but this was very analytical stuff. But like yourself Stan, intense conjecture. I think people around me were a bit frightened by it, they were tripping too, must have been a bit much but they must hear the unfiltered truth!

edit: should mention the content, but can’t remember, stoner student politics prob

 

[constant escape]

Yeah I usually feel a pressure release when I do it. Stuff that needs to be hashed out, like being hydraulically pushed through some narrowing outlet.

 

[shiels]

Some kind of alignment occurred, a synthesis or integration of emotional and intellectual info. An epiphany that must be communicated urgently! Potentially the greatest insight the young shiels ever had! Didn’t write it down or record it though, no response. Just ruined some peoples vibes.

Only the archivist remembers...

I can sit/stand in front of a mirror and talk to myself for over half an hour, maybe even over an hour.

sounds like you are a natural born podcaster

this reminds me of the lady who told her psychoanalyst she was a solipsist, but was surprised there weren't more of them

 

[version]

I can sit/stand in front of a mirror and talk to myself for over half an hour, maybe even over an hour. Seems to trigger some kind of strange feedback loop, like certain social instincts kick in, even though I'm just interfacing with a reflection of my own face.

Wow look at all the wonderful ways I could turn out.
