Not gonna lie, I missed him being the OP. Makes it slightly less impressive but he's still a legend nonetheless!
You absolute legend. Do you have an alert set up when somebody mentions your name or are you an actual omnipotent being?
Ideally yes, but I do recognise they're just words in the end. Actions are what matter most if I'm understanding you correctly? If so, I fully agree!
Hi stranger! I love you!
Jokes aside, I'm sure I can't convince you, but I'm sharing this for other readers here in case they find it interesting.
Our brain is fairly complex and deals with unique, complex, but usually somewhat familiar problem patterns throughout the day. To handle this complexity efficiently, the brain tries to run on autopilot as much as possible. I think the brain is one of the most energy-hungry organs in our body (either that, or the Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell).
When you're stressed or on high alert, you carefully weigh every word. BUT when you're relaxed and comfortable, your brain slips into these autopilot scripts. That's when these verbal "muscle memories" can kick in.
Based on this scenario, if you can slip into autopilot mode where you naturally say "I love you" to someone, chances are high you're regularly surrounded by loving relationships where this phrase is common. Your brain has basically created a shortcut for familiar social interactions.
So to this OP, get rekt lol. you're actually outing yourself as someone who is NOT experiencing a lot of love in your life! Hope I'm either wrong or this changes for you in the future. CHEERS.
It doesn't say anything! Tattoos can't speak, you silly.
Superman's Kryptonite is that he can never, ever be fed after midnight!
I'm in love.
This method reminds me of a technique used in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to deal with pain or fear. Exaggerating a thought or giving it a silly voice or character, while staying neutral toward that part of yourself, can be a solid way to manage anxiety.
Itβs called cognitive defusion. You notice when you're "fused" with a thought or pattern, and by using techniques like the one you mentioned, you create distance between the thought and your sense of self.
Love this! Thank you for the effort.
It's a flatworm my dudes. AAAAaaawwwhh.
Lol. Gotta scan for those compressed gasses to figure out who the real one is then!
