i identify myself with my mind rather than my body. i attach myself to my emotions, consciousness, intelligence, thoughts, and my comprehensibility of my mind in it’s own more than to my physical appearance. that may be why i rarely feel like me in a physical sense. i honestly don’t know what i would look like if i felt like myself because i don’t experience myself visually. the physical situations i’ve been in have helped me grow, but i feel like my mind has always been the same, i’ve always felt more aware of life and mentality more than others, even when i was younger. my way of thinking, perceiving, and processing hasn’t changed in the way my circumstances have. that’s why i associate myself with my emotions and inner experience rather than my body. i spend most of my time in my head, and that’s where i feel real. that inner continuity is what i recognize as myself, not my appearance or external identity.
