hello all,
what do youuu...think of other people? would you say you're good at seeing people as Like You (in all of the metaphysics senses)?
NOTE: metaphysics being the philosophy of the nature of our being. umm. you think therefore you are, you know, so, it's like, on a scale of "only i am real because i am me" to... whatever the opposite is, presumably in full belief of others...
that sounds extreme. obviously you believe in people being people. but how well do you actually practice that?
I used to think about stuff like this late at night when I was really young to the point I'd scare myself to sleep lol š I remember when I was maybe in 1st or 2nd grade I couldn't sleep and had asked myself what It'd feel like to be nothing in space and had an mini existential crisis lolol. Anyway. I have a blind belief that people are as real as I am because if they aren't then what is the point of me? I might start to ponder if I'm even real, Y'know? Questions upon questions. Thinking that others are as real as I am makes me really happy and interested in them 'cuz people are just. so. freaking. Awesome..
Uhh...I feel like my mind is...confused...Well I do see people as people everybody is a person or not living in the world
I hate everything and everyone (few exceptions) and if humanity were to die out entirely tomorrow, including myself, I wouldn't mind
Cogito, ergo sum.
I think I generally have an okay or better than normal understanding of others in the metaphysics sense. I have crazy hyperawareness problems and I feel this need to be aware the other person is a person to, so I guess against my own will I have that ability. You could also say my hyperawareness hinders me, though, because then I get stuck in a pattern of believing something from someone. I do think others are real and Like Me, as you put it, but I am not fully on the rowboat of "you think therefore you are." The best example is one of my favorite books A.K.A. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green. The belief in reality for me is a bit shaky, for the same reason as Aza in the book, so it's hard to tell whether I am the same for others. I would think I practice that well enough, though, but I can't trust myself enough to say that exactly... THIS IS A REALLY COOL QUESTION BY THE WAY. I like how it makes you think.
other people are very interesting :3 i liek when they have opinions thats new to me, it keeps my mind fresh and active because id love to find out why they think that way.. though i cant lie when i say that most times its conflicting and confusing :T its part of the process tho, and i dont really end up believing what they believe either
i think im fairly good at perceiving other people as.. other people! like real people that have their own life, emotions, and thought processes etc etc. i used to suck bad at that in the past but since then ive discovered sonder and its cool. it was a real breakthrough for lil me LOL !! keeps me from being selfish and close-minded
i think have a somewhat hard time in believing people are other real people because of dissociation/my schizophrenia maybe. i still treat people as if they were real becaus i have moments of clarity of like "omg this person is real and im not alone in this world" idk how to answer this
I think humanity should die out bc all we do is ruin everything. Aside from ruining each other's lives, we're also the reason many interesting animals went extinct. All we cause is chaos to earth. Let's get the dinosaur treatment, maybe the next species will be making horror movies about us.
