| nah traffic makes me depressed, in our society we're all cut off from each other, driving in our separate little cars, burning gas, always in a rush to get some where, and repeat the same process every day. the way ppl drive is like irritated, aggressive little rats trying to pass you to gain a couple car lengths. |

| Yeah trains are even worse than traffic. cos people are squished in right next to each other but everyone's still trapped in their own little bubble with their own concerns and problems... but yeah the depersonalisation thing happens to me all the time.. especially when I'm about to go to sleep. |

it's almost as if i do drugs or drink to BE "normal" because otherwise i am just constantly looking at everyone like "wow" and shaking my head:stongue: |
Ha! Sometimes I feel like that as well, that drinking makes me more "normal" for a brief time. Then I think to myself I'm probably just being arrogant, and plenty of other people probably get those "wow" moments a lot or are reflective in some way -- and lots of people are, as we can see from this thread. So maybe we "wow" people aren't so abnormal after all...
The trouble with taking the "third person" perspective too much is that you can start to develop a superiority complex.

yea and it often leads to me thinking about their first time having sex for some strange reason lol |
Haha, yeah. Or sometimes I wonder how many people are having sex for the first time today, or for the last time, or how many will die and whether they'll see their death coming, or how many people will have some other life-altering experience like being fired or divorced, etc., and how they'll take it.

Often times I'll get a short burst of ecstasy. You know, it feels like I'm peaking on MDMA for three seconds or so then I'll slowly go back to just being happy. Strangely enough, this usually happens when I'm alone. |
This happens to me as well, the random burst of ecstasy. Occasionally I'll have a similar feeling when I'm driving on the freeway -- it's an odd sort of calm where I look at all the cars moving and they almost seem synchronized, and I feel like I'm just one tiny part of a huge clockwork world that's running automatically.

if I was trippin balls on mushrooms or coked out of my skull, I'd see a bunch of drunk people and look at them almost in disgust at how stupid they seemed, and I'd be thinking, "I never want to get drunk again." |
I think I'm kind of the opposite on that. Whenever I tripped, I would feel really compassionate toward people and behavior that would normally disgust or annoy me. I would think about how we're all ultimately just a bunch of mammals trying to flee pain, and pursue pleasure and sex and keep ourselves full of food. And we make up stories about it all to justify ourselves to one another and make ourselves feel better. |

Sometimes I think about how in lots of ways our lives are the same as everyone else's throughout history. We go out and bring back food, whether we're hunting an animal or buying groceries. Go out, bring back food, provide shelter, have sex and kids and then die.
You know how everyone always does Shakespeare plays in a different setting? Like, as mobsters, or in the 80s? That's what it feels like our lives are like. Everything's different but it's all the same.
:wtf: |

Yeah, I think about this as well. I also find myself wishing that I could meet all my ancestors, back through all those thousands of years, and I wonder what they would think of me if they could observe my life.

haha... i completely understand that man. I've had several similar experiences. I guess for me, the feelings of disgust at drunk idiots while tripping would come when I was permaturely forced to leave my serene comfort zone that had formed during the trip, and move on to a bar or house party where everyone was wasted. I couldn't handle that , and just wanted to go back to an intimate setting and chill out with a coctail, while watching Sportscenter with the TV volume off and some quality music playing. |
