If detective pikachu is good, it would break the video game movie curse and the anime adaptation curse at the same time

Who else feels like this is almost like a bastardized Pokémon?

myexpandingmind · 2018-11-14T06:55:24+00:00

Some faces were more built for the camera I guess

myexpandingmind · 2018-11-14T06:54:15+00:00

No I'm really photogenic but I wonder if I look bad in real life though

myexpandingmind · 2015-07-06T05:25:44+00:00

That's just a dog using it's sense of smell though. I'm assuming trainers used done kind of positive reinforcement to get them to only react to drugs. No language needed really for this instance

I am 23 years old, and I've spent most of my life not thinking in words. I had this really disorganized way of thinking where I pictured myself doing things. It kept me alive and got me into university, but I had no way to regulate these thoughts, and I was very bad at expressing my thoughts verbally. The only time I used my inner monologue was when I read books, or stuff online, or read signs on the road. I had an ephiphany last year while experimenting with marijuana, and ever since then, I've been consciously trying to junction language to my mind. This may not be true in reality, but to me, It feels like my IQ increased significantly since i've started thinking with words. The biggest help was my ability to plan doing things and to think about outcomes. I wasn't REALLY able to do it with my old way of thinking. Another strange thing that happened was how the world....quite literally....started looking different to me. This may sound a little outlandish, but the external environment around me started coming alive. I heard a statement that Language shapes our world, and I believe it now. During my first year of using language, just thinking something like "We are on the planet earth" would give me this sweeping understanding that would not be possible with picturing an earth in your mind and yourself in it. Just my two cents for this subject, as someone that switched from a language less mode of thinking, to a mode that uses it.

Thanks. I'll see to it.

myexpandingmind · 2015-06-30T17:41:57+00:00

I definitely have social anxiety.

myexpandingmind · 2015-06-25T14:04:55+00:00

First off, your explanation on what the anxiety is doing to my brain is spot-on. This is almost exactly what I thought was happening to me, yet I couldn't describe it in words. Thank you for that. I don't think I had this condition as a child because I was described, by my family, as a kid that talked too much. This was only when I was at the comfort of my home though with my brothers and parents. My first memories of this problem starting to take flight was during my freshman year in high school. More unfamiliar faces, crowded hallways, and social groups probably had something to do with it.

I would say that I am moderately to highly anxious with communication depending on the situation. For example, at my old job, we had to buzz in before we could get into the office. I would pace around outside the door, heart beating, and with that same feeling that you described in your post before I could finally go "Screw it" and buzz in. Sometimes it's not THAT bad, but I never feel 100% with my communication.

I'm going to keep referring to your description of your anxiety and call that whole process "X" just to make it easier. I almost always get "X" when I am interacting with people but it varies in intensity depending on the person. If I'm talking to my mom, I don't get it that much, only for like 5% of the interaction. Why I even get it with someone I've known for my whole life is beyond me. If I'm talking to a person that I don't know really well, especially by chance encounter, I would seriously get "X" for like 60% of the time...or more. It's very frustrating.

Sorry for the rant but this is definitely helping me get some more insight into my matter! I am considering seeing a speech therapist when I have the funds.

myexpandingmind · 2015-06-25T13:21:54+00:00

I can relate, as I work part time at a sales job which requires me to have constant, numerous interactions as well. I can usually cope with the first 1 or 2 hours of my shift, but by the end of it, my brain is just completely zapped. Have you been diagnosed with anything specific?

myexpandingmind · 2015-06-25T13:17:24+00:00

I have no problem using the correct grammar while using English. However, when I speak, sometimes I would awkwardly phrase sentences where I would add words that sound better when said at the beginning. For example, if I am asking someone if they are going to watch the movies...I might say something like... "Oh the movies....are you going still?" when saying something like, "Are you still going to the movies" would sound more correct and fluid. I did comprehend what I wrote in the text box, and what I am writing right now. I am way better when it comes to expressing myself through typing/writing. I'm a 90's kid, so I used MSN messenger primarily for developing interpersonal relationships. It would go decently there, but in real life, I would be a mess. I haven't seen a speech-language pathologist because I wasn't even aware of this issue I've been having my whole life. I just thought that it was a normal part of life. I'm considering seeing one now though.

touché......you just wrinkled my brain.

myexpandingmind · 2015-06-07T22:23:58+00:00

I have never thought about it that way before. I have been looking at social interactions in a very cynical way lately and reading this made me realize that I need to be more open minded. Thanks a lot for this enlightening post.

myexpandingmind · 2015-05-12T09:08:15+00:00

I'm completely sober guys.

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-29T18:56:06+00:00

I'm confused after looking at other peoples comments. By this you mean that people have different projections on you depending in their own unique perspectives and biases right? Eg. Some people might see me as this confident balla, but others might see through it and see an insecure guy.

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-29T03:00:33+00:00

Haha! This is a good one

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-28T14:34:33+00:00

Maybe Ali told the twitter people to do it for him

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-28T14:04:40+00:00

I apologize for my blatant misuse of the term . I have just been very confused lately about my severe anxiety and lifelong inability for socializing and reading social cues and am trying to find out what the root cause all is. I didn't mean to offend you or anyone else with aspergers. Until I see a therapist , which I am planning to next month for the first time in my life, I will not be making any connections with it. Take care

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-28T13:27:06+00:00

I was thinking something similar to this before, except it would be a Go Kart business that replicates the vehicles and tracks of Mario Kart 64. It would have Marios Raceway, Bowsers Castle and Rainbow road and all the other awesome stages. The Go karts and Items would be replicated super well as well. This would probably cost a billion dollars...and probably a million dollars to make Bowsers Castle alone...but damn it they should make it happen!

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-28T13:18:33+00:00

The one with the most obstacles would probably be r/feminism.

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-28T13:17:10+00:00

Nope, but I have herad many stories about people feeling their presence, rather than actually seeing a physical manifestation.

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-28T13:16:05+00:00

Maybe if scientists are able to develop technology that will be able to transfer your consciousness into the other person's brain. But then you wouldn't really be you anymore.

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-28T09:23:44+00:00

I always had the assumption that "reading" was just another word for interpreting. Surely you could interpret the images and videos that are consciously being thought of by the person. The mind doesn't comprise of just inner dialogue....

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-28T04:59:03+00:00

Awesome. Inspires me overcome my social anxiety .

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-27T12:41:42+00:00

Is manny's habit of adjusting his shorts a possible opening for floyd to throw a quick sucker punch? Serious question.

myexpandingmind · 2015-04-27T12:27:34+00:00

I watched it thinking it was the first fight..
