Do you also have this stupid self-conscious background process constantly running that often makes you think "this is weird"?

No matter what I do, it's still there. If I get drunk, if I do something exciting, if I'm on a roller coaster, if I have sex...it never switches off. Alcohol or adrenaline can make me a little bit less socially inhibited but that doesn't mean the thought "wtf am I doing/saying...this is weird" isn't still there.
Why can't I just...relax and enjoy? 🤔

I accept that this is weird and always will be. I no longer remind myself of the fact very often.

@KuroNeko But it seems like most people let themselves get carried away by their emotions and don't give it much thought. I can't because something stays in the way. 🤔 It's like when you kiss and instead of pleasant feelings you just feel teeth and some foreign tongue in your mouth and wonder what the hell is this all about. 😂

@CrazyMusicLover The left side of the brain can get in the way. Meditation helps to shut it up a bit.

Constantly...

@unhappyhuman I'm sorry to hear that. 😞

@CrazyMusicLover what about you?

@unhappyhuman I don't really know. Sometimes I feel as if somebody switched the "wires" in my "brain". 🤦‍♀️ So when I'm supposed to react rationally, my emotional part takes over and when I'm supposed to be emotional I focus on the blunt facts too much. I have a theory that I've been taught very early that it's not okay to show emotions because "it's cringeworthy" so I have always been trying to suppress them. I automatically expect to be ridiculed for it or that people would be weirded out. On the other hand, maybe I have always been expressing my emotions in a weird way and people's reactions were legitimate. 😂 I don't know...
