ok, so here’s something i experienced when talking to @pragueyerrr i said “for most of my life, i was unable to have private thoughts about the person i was talking to without saying them out loud” she said, “really???” “yeah”

and her surprise conveyed to me something i had suspected: that this isn’t normal “so you just repressed all the thoughts you didn’t want to say out loud instead?” “yeah. oh”

i’m not really able to feel like my experience is real unless there is someone else there. this has been a major work in progress https://t.co/cWGy9XzWyN

my experience doesn’t need to go through someone else to feel real

i realised this is also why i tweet. tweeting makes my own life more real to me. it lets me “say” the thing. sometimes this gets cursed, bc i feel if i don’t tweet something, it didn’t happen and it’s not real. but this too is changing

right now, though, i need to keep tweeting to make myself real to me. it’s how i find myself. the thread out of the labyrinth of the false self https://t.co/jhowlZzjag

there is such a thing as *making real to you* make real = make it part of your consciously experienced reality. not just your unconsciously experienced one

Harry Potter incoming: “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

@AskYatharth But if you don't say the thing, but find motivation from it, and end up going to lift, then the unspoken thought is just as real as the normal, spoken ones. 👍
