What am i?

Hello.

In the last hour or so I've been contemplating the normality of myself.

It all started with a simple "no" reply to a comment I jokingly made. Two letters, that's all. This comment made me look and search for answers deep within me.

I now realize that we see the world through our own eyes, but we all know our eyes deceive us. Our eyes only show us what our brain wants us to see.

Could this be that all this time I was, in fact, abnormal?

What am I?

This is a serious matter, so please, be sincere. Thank you for your time.

Normal	13
Abnormal	9

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  In that case, I'm sorry I couldn't transcript my feelings better. But still, thank you for your time.

I used to think of stuff like this when i was bored at work.
My old job used to have me standing around doing next to nothing.

However, the idle mind is the devil's workshop.

My job now is pretty busy but still mind-numbing. So now when my brain gets bored, i think of things that piss me off like stuff that happened years ago. Sometimes I make up scenarios to get pissed about just so I can think of something.

As far as thinking of intelligent things - no need. The real world does not care how smart someone is. Try to have an intelligent conversation with most people and you find out they have Dumbfuck's disease.

  What if it's the other way around? What if keeping my mind occupied and distracted from these thoughts is the devil's workshop?
  Is it possible there's no purpose in all of this? Am I suppose to just live, with no questions, that's it?
  
  It's not a matter of intelligence, it's a matter of reality.
  As far as I can tell, this could all be fake; the dinner I just had, the words I type for you to read, these thoughts I have. It could all be a trick of the mind.
  We could all be a collective of entities floating in this universe, forever trapped in our own handmade reality.
  
  It saddens me to the bone that I'll never be able to know.
  
  I guess there isn't much to do. I'll just have to live my life and hope for an answer when my time comes.
  
  Although still clueless, I thank you for your time.

yes i agree our eyes and brain can sometimes be biased when it comes to what we see and what we should see and this is where our mind comes in to make us seek out the things we have missed to make not just accept information at face value but sometimes we choose not to do this and thats normal.

Unfortunately, this sort of navel-gazing is all too common. I voted "normal".

  Unfortunately, I have to agree.
  
  I believe that somewhere deep inside I wanted to be unique, but in wishing so I've doomed myself to be a mere normie.
  
  Thank you for your time.

  What if Hans were one of us? just a slob like one of us...
  
  ANYways, how comes people often accuse OPs of being Hans?
  In a couple of my stupid threads people thought I was Hans.
  
  But no, I am just leggs.

    But Hans *is* just a slob like one of us!!!
    
    Sounded like him, that's all... "contemplating the normality of myself" sounded like him. I'm a fan. Possibly the only one! Hahaha

      "What am I?"
      
      Apparently, I'm not me anymore. I'm some stranger named Hans I don't even know, no offense to said person.
      
      Guess I really am just a normie and nothing more.
      
      At least you're enjoying this.
      Thank you for taking the time to comment.

    Hansberger. That user makes a lot of weird/deep posts, and he doesn't space anything.
    
    Your way of phrasing reminds me of them.
    
    As for your post, I think you're normal. This seems to be an issue of close-mindedness?
    
    It's a problem I try to avoid by considering information objectively, which is a learning technique that we used as children.
    
    Bias is somewhat inevitable, though.

      I believe I am an objective, open minded being. Ofc, inevitably, it could be my biased perception. And that's where I agree with you.
      
      In any case, thank you for your time.

        I didn't mean that you were closed minded, since you realize that you could be. Though being self-aware doesn't fix everything, it helps.
        
        That was a comment about what your general point seemed to be.
