To pretend you aren't responsible for yourself knowingly

75% Normal
5 Comments

Is it normal I pretend that there is something externally in the way between me and my goals even when I know that I am my main obstacle.

Every so often I have the 'realization' that I am not stuck or broken or a victim. It isn't a realization though because it has happened multiple times.

Even so, day to day, I somehow repress the truth and walk around like me getting what I want is impossible and out of my control.

So even with knowing I can make a change, I still act like I don't know this and pretend that having a more fulfilling life is impossible.

    Anyone can realize their mistakes. Owning them takes effort. Yeah, it's normal to get a clear view of reality once in a while. Going back to sleepwalking through life after is a choice. Any change is frightening and takes effort. Some would rather dream on then take control of their life. It's a hard choice after all.

      I feel like my life is like a cool snowboard I sometimes like to look at, or ignore, or analyze and talk about, but not once do I take it up the mountain and ride the damn thing.

      Yeah, I've been blessed with personality traits that I'm often liked. A supporting family that while u don't currently, has allowed me to live at home for free as an adult which allowed me to save some money. And looks that even without ever approaching girls I still get my dick sucked every once in a while. I live in Thailand now where my rent with utilities comes to under $100 a month for a basic but totally decent studio apartment in the middle of the city. And I wouldn't say I love YouTube, but my addictive and habitual personality allows me to drown out my grasp on my own free will whilst experiencing some entertainment. I've never struggled with my weight or drugs. I dont even drink any alcohol or smoke tobacco, weed only on occasions I never buy it. I have a creative imagination I can get lost in, and have a masturbation addiction that really keeps the ship sailing. I've only accepted actual money from my parents once (1.2 grand for an emergency plane ticket) but I know I'd never really be on the street without a way out. I even got a highschool diploma when I did no homework and barely showed up, one time I didn't go for 5 months and still got credit for the year. I mean will anything bring me over this hump and keep me motivated?

    Yes, it's normal, if this external non-existing force happens to be patriarchy.

    It's the "in" delusion to excuse yourself from responsibility for your life nowadays.

    Yes it's what everyone does. Did you know all those people in prison are actually innocent. Seriously ask any one of them.
