I think the tone indicators on Reddit are brilliant, especially for neurodivergent people. Anyone who thinks they are stupid marks for 'stupid snowflakes' may be too narrow-minded and feeble-minded themselves for an environment with kindness and tolerance.

I often compromise too easily, especially when it's completely unnecessary. For example, I shouldn't delete words just to fit it the character limit here anymore.

The context could be irrelevant. Never forget this line (from Cioran in On the Heights of Despair):

These lines written today, April 8, 1933, when I turn twenty-two. It is strange to think that I am already a specialist in the question of death.

I lowkey acknowledge the date as an anniversary.

Is it just me or is life just daydream after reverie after dream after daydream...?

To this point, mental clarity almost feels uncanny to me. Or is that just another type of dreaming?

My current response would be that what remains in you after trying to be anything else, rather than what you strive to become, is closer to what you actually are.

Depressing fact, but at least it means that you are probably unique without the need to specifically work on it.

Does the desire to be unique imply an internal hatred of everyone else? Of course you can love someone who's completely different from yourself, but what if introjection represents the untimate level of intimacy?

Anyone with an intense sense of normativity should stop and think about the asymmetry of the human body and even the universe.

Not to say the reflection will surely lead you somewhere though; I tried and became frustrated for a split second.

I don't find it particularly sinister; this word is too religious for this context. But it would be cursed if we could see ourselves all the time because we, as individuals or as a species, are already too self-absorbed.

One is just flatmates with oneself, and even that flat is hard to get out.

Fernando Pessoa - The Book of Disquiet
>Man shouldn't be able to see his own face - there's nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to see it, and of not being able to stare into his own eyes.

This fact also makes self-recognition constantly fascinating.

DIsclaimer: I don't speak any of those languages even though I would've quoted the lyrics in English if I'd wanted to. It was simply because these were what I heard even though I couldn't understand them without translation.

Sometimes wisdom exists where it isn't constructed (as wisdom):

I wish posts here were automatically liked by myself, just like on Reddit. After all, why post something if you don't even like it yourself?
But on the other hand, who's the platform to decide for you that you like what you've said?
Tho it'd be terrible if even words on Bluesky were somewhat forced.

Maybe it's not that harmful to contruct a image for (imaginary) viewers all the time, even if you just want to be yourself:
> In diesem Sinne ist die Einsamkeit die Bedingung der Möglichkeit der Gemeinschaft, und niemals umgekehrt, und die Gemeinschaft die Bedingung der Möglichkeit des Einer-seins.

Dunno why people create alt accounts to 'record their lives' instead of, well, keeping them to themselves when they don't want other to know about the information. Guess this is a social gesture. So here's my social experiment to try to do the same.
