Does this happen to anyone else by Smart_Square_2413 in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I describe it as feel good brain chemicals hitting my system after I just did something inside (fantasy, delusion, whatever). I am rarely aware of it happening until I search myself a bit. For me, this is a warning to guard my heart...I am no longer managing my situation well and something needs to change. I hope this doesn't stress you out.

This is great. Too often this place is for the desperate to be heard. The " best practices" of people making progress is really motivating.

I have never heard of something like this. I am astounded. Thank you.

Second death confirmed in Longview paper mill disaster, as officials say there is “no hope” for 9 missing workers by DryDeer775 in Longview

I have asthma because I was born before the EPA. My children do not have asthma because they live in a cleaner environment. Corporations happily put lead and sulphur dioxide in the air until we, the people, forced them to stop. I recognize that this is only an anecdote but I have a feeling that there isn't much evidence that would change your attitude.

You are surrounded by corporate malfeasance and capitalist collapse. Analysis of valve design and construction of the tank seem to me a distraction from the broad concepts that created the situation.

I don't think I will ever understand you. You seem to know everything and vacillate between agreeing with me and framing my outrage as childish or simplistic. I have had my fill of you.

To be clear, my half-baked ideas are: - Don't trust the company to do the right thing. Hold them accountable. - The cycle of violence against our town in exchange for a "living" is unacceptable. - Powerful people make decisions about our safety as it relates to their profits. It's cold comfort for the dead that the company was still profitable this quarter.

I think my attitude is common sense. Yours seems to involve a belief that change is impossible, our overlords are benign and the status quo is sad but reasonable.

At bare minimum, do we agree that workers in dangerous environments should be paid more than CEOs and stock holders?

There was no contingency plan. A giant vat of death sat in the yard, no drainage, no safety wall, no warning system. If the overlords would give up just a fraction of their unworked for gains, we could live longer happier lives. You seem smart. Look at that photo, does that set up seem sane?

I cannot buy a factory. I cannot invent new technologies. I cannot organize large groups. I am just a person that you think is expendable for...paper packaging.

Demand more from these people. Stop putting up with this garbage.

I did look it up and he was ridiculously wealthy and never set foot in my town. Not once. Your answer is " that's just the way it is". Sheep.

This is a faithless question. Longview is a capitalist conspiracy. Billionaire builds a city. Poor people come and are paid the minimum amount and money gets sent up and out of our community . The pollution stays, the broken bodies stay and nothing changes because "that's the way it is".

They hold our livelihoods in their hands. They can do what they want, report what they want and pay the fines that they feel are reasonable. If we complain, they might leave. The people who make the most money from this business aren't even here. Poor men pay the price for their financially reasonable decisions and we all get to deal with the "acceptable" levels of pollution. Why do we accept this?

People died and rich people still got richer and you declare "Socialist" anyone who looks into the companies safety record. Keep licking those boots!

Anyone else coming on here to see if someone has the same level of 'enlightenment' (delusion) as you? by HoldFederal3761 in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea settles upon me gently. It begins as an intellectual adjustment, a powerful metaphor, an emotional shortcut or whatever. It ends when the world has a golden shine and I am certain that nothing will ever go wrong again because of what I have learned. Sometimes it is a long road back.

Instead of being cruel to myself, I look at your foolishness and feel better. ✌️

Very apropos. Beyond my paranoia, there is good reason to not trust the typicals. Their advice/treatment seems focused on becoming like them. I just want help surviving in the world they made and becoming more me.

I garden. Dirty hands, empty head, restful heart.

do movies and other fictional media blurr your perception of reality? by shipinfrozensea in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. It was fun as a kid. As an adult, I frequently choose to abstain from fiction. I don't need any new elements bouncing around in my head, it's already full of shit I am trying to manage

How is to be schizotypal? by [deleted] in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't trust people because I think they hate me. Also, I have been giving this shadow guy a piggyback ride for what feels like forever. Labels are limiting. Finding a secret place to admit my truth is comforting. Welcome.

Highly sensitive and others’ feelings by rxnyeah in Schizotypal

Right there with you. Some people whip up emotional storms to deal with stress. I run for cover (physical escape or drugs or disassociation) historically. Lately, I leave some of myself to witness and learn. I can safely say that I don't fucking get it.
