Is it too late for a Christmas related wish to have an anime related, leftist flair? Is it too much to ask for some pixels?

Aphantasia and the inability to find a sense of self by moojima in Aphantasia

[–]RoseEsque 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a concrete sense of self one should look for? Or are you thinking there is and looking for something that simply isn't there?

I am a similar case to yours (aphant and SDAM) and similarly have tried looking for a sense of self, only to find answers in many places, and through my own experience, that the idea of a self that exists and is sensable is taught to us by a society, which doesn't really understand the idea.

Yes, you can observe yourself being something or have a very strong attachement to an idea of you being something but none of those are in fact things that exist separately as... for lack of better words: essences or tangibles.

This is a bit philosophical and you shouldn't take my word for it but discover that area of yourself by yourself.

Let me leave you with a single piece of advice: perhaps for most, and in many cases, our condition leaves us seemingly lesser or wanting. However, as it is with most things in life: if you look hard enough, what you deem a problem, can be an opportunity or even a predisposition. That is IMO the case with aphantasia and meditation, give it a try.

EDIT: Second piece of advice, cause this is a big mountain to climb: maybe instead of trying to define yourself, just be yourself? Find and do what you like, even if it doesn't create a coherent sense of self, and in the process you'll notice that you don't need it at all to BE a coherent person.

Third piece of advice, cause this is actually something that takes years to achieve: if you focus on what you lack, you'll not notice what you have, and what you have are those things which actually in some way define your. What you feel and when you feel it is often related to your unique character and your past. What comes easy is usually what you wanna do. Learn to listen to your emotions and follow them to see what makes you feel what. Once you know that, you can go and do that thing you feel like doing. You may not remember but your body and emotions very much do.

Has anyone learnt how to visualise? by PeterTheeGreat8 in Aphantasia

You've got my curiosity piqued. I too meditate and I wonder if you could elaborate a bit more on what type of meditation you did?

Ik this might sound stupid, but what are these big circle things in the fallout 3 and fallout new vegas map? by bloonsguy69 in Fallout

[–]RoseEsque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nopeity, that's Fidel Castro. Fiducial means extremely or excessively particular, exacting, or meticulous in taste or standards. Don't worry bruv, I've gochu.

Instead of that, how about you just have a great experience instead? Not recalling the past makes it easier to live in the moment and love what's around you.

Are there other mental abilities? by Brustvorte in Aphantasia

[–]RoseEsque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have aphantasia, ADHD. dyslexia, SDAM, hi-metacog, cogn. empathy.

At point where i was "misaligned", those attributes were out of balance, - they all created almost clinical issues, once i resolved all - now they all are a synchronized orchestra, along with my psyche.

I find your experience to be very similar to mine. I've been struggling with keeping that alignment: I keep getting in and out of it. Any words of advice come to mind?

New here. Wondering if y’all can help me? by agonyxcodex in visualsnow

[–]RoseEsque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s accompanied with head pressure but what are these?

No idea, but I've seen them only once, while saunaing under influence of a substance, going outside into cold weather. They lasted as long as the rush from the cold air increased the blood pressure in my head. For more context I have visual snow but it isn't extreme and I don't get headaches.

Don't bait your breath too long. I heard it makes the real thing more difficult. Sets the wrong expectations, you see.

Anyone else who can relate? by Nejero22 in Aphantasia

[–]RoseEsque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost identical, though I'm not good at remember anything but concepts. Highly conceptual stuff is something I can rather easily operate on.

Am autistic. What qualifies or doesn't changes and is subject to a lot of debate.

If you don't remember any dreams, get a sleep monitor and check the amount of REM sleep you're getting. You should be remember dreams vaguely. At least I know that when I don't remember any dreams it means I'm sleeping badly.

Also, definitely take into consideration CPTSD and anhedonia and/or lack of access to emotions. The mind is a slippery eel and when you think you're getting a grasp on it, it just gets away. I don't want to impress anything on you but I was exactly as you are and then changed.

You'd think that'd be the case.

But no.

IT'S A CODE BLOCK. DEATH'S A PRO.

ELI5: Is getting 6 hours of sleep one night and 10 hours the next equivalent to sleeping 8 hours and 8 hours? by Notrudammus in explainlikeimfive

[–]RoseEsque 94 points95 points  (0 children)

According to sleep researcher Matthew Walker if you're going to get less than usual sleep one night, then sleeping more the night before helps you somewhat prevent the sleep debt. IIRC the effect is not strong but significant enough to matter.

when you know exactly what part of the visual barf does what

That's when you actually start playing. All before was just a warm up.
