sometimes i’ve gone to rationalist parties where people are talking about “metta” and other things in such third person it feels bizarre https://t.co/bX5UqQ2LK1

surreal, strange, semi-human, like a good sci-fi book that took a mirror of what i am doing and defamiliarised enough i can see it

it’s exactly what the postrats do too, and i have been doing. talking about healing in third person, as if it might make it safer and you know, it did

talking ABOUT emotions rather than expressing them is something i’m grateful for, trusted, and needed. because i trusted it, and i didn’t trust anyone or anything to directly express things yet https://t.co/jNSFEGfFQJ

“each one of them, i feel i sort of help with something, or refer them. i got nothing from you. it feels like you already have this all figured out. so let me ask you again: why are you here?”

sometimes i wake up from TPOT like a dream and realise they literally talk online the same way some rat parties talk about metta and all these feelings in such third person
