Everyone thinks they are special. Thousands of faggots think they are the Anti Christ, a lot of people are told or believe they have a special magical gift or are "chosen" in some way. I'm a gifted psychic, I have so many spirits watching out for me, I am destined to do this and that... bla bla.
So does that mean we're all delusional?
>>19512340
Yes, each and every one of us.
7,000,000,000 people on earth
300 hundred /x/ people that believe they are special in some way
no reason that they're not desu - the ones that are truly delusional are the ones claiming they are the anti-christ/savior - beings that there can be only one of...
>>19512340
I think it's because we can only live our own lives. I only have my own experiences, and my own perspective. Who's to say anybody else exists? Besides themselves, anyway?
>>19512340
I have a magical shitposting gift that allows me to comment on this thread. So yes find it absolutely special knowing you can't top me from doing it. Clearly chosen by the 4Chan God's to shitpost all over this internet site. It's quite magical indeed. Btw. I am behind like 7 kindles, one ipad, a desktop and two labtops. I literally have threads on this site of just me talking to myself pretending to shitpost myself. Checkmate faggot I am a special snowflake.
>>19512340
Wh-what if everyone is special, and we're misleading ourselves/each other into believing that one person's specialness must exclude the specialness of others? Like, there's a difference between believing that you're Jesus and believing that you're Jesus and no one else is/ever can be. What if we're all Jesus, man? What if we're all the antichrist?
>>19512340
Everyone probably has an optimal purpose in life.
Most people are not smart enough to know when it comes to them so they spend their whole life on materialism while caught in the maw of modernity.
>>19512363
>can be only one
why? and for that matter, one what?
I actually think I'm a worthless speck of dust in the Multiverse.
So... whatever OP
>>19512340
>so does that mean we're all delusional?
no. it's called existence.
>>19512517
I feel you on this one
>>19512340
I actually got myself to believe I was the Archangel Michael's incarnated human avatar.
>I don't really think I am though
>>19512555
People are trained by modern society to deaden themselves to the particularities of self and to focus on group dynamics because "what is good for the gander is good for the geese."
>>19512574
Situations like these where people believe themselves to be another is probably related to the idea of personas, so I try not to get too caught up with it when I have convinced myself I might be Jesus for a week. Instead I try to live like that person for a while and try to draw out all of the human experience and value from living in a particular way might deliver. I might be a little bit mentally ill, but I do deal with it in a constructive way. When I see "larpers" I try to consider the fact that maybe those people are trying to draw out the ideas that come from pretending to be another. Maybe playing along with the fantasy is helpful to one another. Maybe showing that level of personal deference to the whims of others is something we should be practicing.

It's ego. It's pride.
>>19512340
They're deluded, m8.
They're just living their lives of quiet desperation. Don't bully.
>>19512340
I think reality is a simulation and that I'm a NPC that keeps getting reused
I think I was a goddess in my past life.

I like Ram Das's response, "cool man, I'm Jesus too"
>>19512637
Shannon you are giving away vital information to maintain Saturn psyops npc machine. How could you do you not know what you have done.
>>19512601
This is a good comment.
>>19512667
I contribute everyday.
>>19512689
That's nice to hear on occasion, thanks anon.
Also, the fool motif applies to every single human, but most of them don't see it.
What do I do about that? How do you make them see it?
>>19512705
I have never read a post you have penned that wasn't absolute horseshit. It makes it easy to deal with though, cause you're a trip fag. So i shouldn't really complain, should I?
>>19512647
Well isn't that special...
>>19512340
Being delusional is an aspect of being sapient
Every person who has ever lived or will live believes that they are special or have something that nobody else has.
The sad part is is this is rarely true.
I just like drinking beer and eating mac and cheese while browsing x. I'm watching suspira now, wish others would join me.
Usually, yeah. More often than not the mystical is simply a manifestation of the imaginative parts of our minds through the filter of senses we're more comfortable with. For instance psychics just tend to develop a good sense for how things work around them and get very good at subconscious prediction in a way that they may not be conscious of.
Ghosts are most often a mental projection. Some ghosts aren't even people who are dead.
Part delusion, mostly an underutilised and underdeveloped tool of the mind.

Well that escalated quickly.

I'm not a tripfag, I'm a tripfriend.

You say tomato, I say faggot.
>>19512934
Lol
>>19512340
Anyone who actually is special or has mystical powers the government would be on their ass so fast, but also seemingly not there.
by no stretch of the imagination does 'everybody' think that
You'd be surprised.
>>19512393
Kill yourself
Nobody ever said there was a cap on enlightened souls. Personally I don't think words like special and rare hold any meaning in these discussions.
>>19512530
That's Satan's illusion. It's a lie. It's made to make you feel like a worthless tiny spec. But in reality you're special and loved and at the center of the universe. God mad it and you and everything. The Bible is awesome. Taking it literally is an intense and necessary indevor. God bless and good luck brother :)

I would but I'm sick.
If you really want to be special, discover the means of production, and then use them to acquire more.
I enjoy fantasizing about being god or lucifer, but I know it's only because I like building worlds in my mind. Can't beat the price of free entertainment.
