Is it just me? Probably? I knew it...

@Lackwittyname it's an often thing for me, maybe a coping mechanism. I just wonder how many others also feel that. It makes me feel unhuman.

@XcookiexbakerX Probably a coping mechanism of some sort, maybe just getting overwhelmed and shutting down. I hardly think it makes you unhuman though, just another way of getting through life in the increasingly trying times. Certainly a better coping mechanism than many others you could have.

@Lackwittyname so I am normal, thank you 💜

@XcookiexbakerX Well what is normal really? I think there are many definitions of normal, what one person is going to look down upon and call bad, another person is going to relate to and embrace. Really look at the world today and all of the differing opinions and hate that people have just because something is different or some other way is preferred.

I think for you, by just having the feelings and questioning things that is normal and means you care. Also having looked at your profile, you enjoy writing poetry and as a fellow creative type I can relate that sometimes life, the world, just that day or hour can be a bit much.

@Lackwittyname normal in being abnormal lol because we're all a little strange, a little damaged, or so I like to think. Another coping mechanism of mine! I question things a lot and maybe that's my problem because the simple answer doesn't satisfy me. There's always more under that simple answer and that's what I struggle with, the brutal honesty of the universe. Ah ok I'm lit, rant over.

@XcookiexbakerX Yes, normal being abnormal, or put another way just accepting who you are and why you think the way you do. Normal is essentially defined as what is most common, what is socially accepted. But who has set those parameters? I see you live in the US, as do I, essentially normal has been defined by a Christian sensibility that many of us do not really accept, that can be to constricting, and look at how many of those people cheat and lie against what they preach.

There is nothing wrong with questioning things and wanting a deeper answer, I think that is healthier than just taking the answer provided and not critically thinking about it. This all said, over the years (and I have about 20 on you according to you age listed) I have stopped worrying about a deeper answer to life and the universe. It is all a grand mystery, a lot of which we project our thoughts into to give it a deeper meaning, to give us a meaning.

So yes, you seem like a perfectly normal person wading through the tribulations of existence.
