I don't understand human beings. I think I might be an alien or cyborg or something. Commonplace human interactions seem trivial to me. The unspoken necessities for social bonding are absent from my mind. At the flip of a switch, I can shut down all subjective thinking and human emotion. I can choose to ignore any and all memories. I become apathetic and emotionless. I guess I'm a cyborg and that's okay. Can someone tell me what it means to be human? Can someone tell me what separates me from an AI robot? I just want to know.
If u want a lively thread all u gotta do is make a argument. WHICH IS BETTER. JB OR 1D? Comment below!
Are you on drugs, by any chance? o.o I've been an addict my entire life - slowly recovering - and I'm like that, too. No feelings, no emotions, no memories. Emptiness and dark. ...or, you're just a socially awkward individual, maybe even cold-hearted, who can deal with what society deems as boredom on a surreal calm and collected level.
I believe its called physical and mental self control, which comes from a history of discipline and self awareness
Don't say I have social problems because I have a lot of friends but I know what she's talking about. You're not the only one BloodRose!
@Flinstone - OP doesn't seem very "self-aware," considering he/she is questioning their ability to block out everything that makes a human, human. It could be an attempt to get attention, though. However, I dont know OP, so Im not passing judgement; just stating the possibilities.
Nick, i have to disagree. She's noticing her own characteristics and possible strengths/weaknesses and is trying to find an explaination to these features. Seems like self awareness to me
@Flinstone - I see your point. But, it's possible that this revelation didn't come from a HISTORY of self-awareness and self-discipline. Maybe OP is going through that right now, though. Trying to really figure out who she is. I don't know. The possibilities are endless, really. OP might have been oblivious to her lack of desire for socializing. Like a surprise that's been in front of your face forever.
@Flinstone - You seem pretty damn intellectual. That's something people lack these days. It's almost comforting knowing there are, even if scarce, a few intellectual conversationalists lurking in the shadows of this black hole we refer to as "life."
