Nah, I'm more likely to turn into the reclusive and mysterious type. The problem is, what you put out there has to be really good (or really successful) for people to still give a shit about you.

Jokes on you, those are the exact kind of embarrassing thoughts my book is about.

Is there a reason this happens. Is this just narcissism, or something else?

This isn't true. Stop fearing black people.

It's probably a desire for respect.

Joke's on you, I spend longer than both imagining I wrote whatever song I'm listening to and am back in high school rocking their faces with it.

yeah a desire for position so that you are seen by certain people in a certain way that fits your illusions of self. However, the knowledge of this coupled with the act can also motivate you to take positions, explain yourself, or to think out loud about your work. Nothing wrong with it except if the conversation is shallow. I give eulogies to people all the time in my head so that I can try to overcome my anger and resentment and say something real about a person.

how do you stop that shit
i'm always distracted when it happens so i never manage to stop myself in time

>> No.11718841

I guess try and create habits or patterns around it. So right now you arent doing it, so just keep starting to do it, say something some mantra "stop doing this now", or whatever, so that you stop, then repeat. Hopefully if you do this enough, it will give a nudge when its actually happening, and then you can start to curb it

Again though this might not be the worst thing like this anon said
>>11718142
However Im like you, even though I dont feel certain about if its good for me or not, Id rather curb it

I spend too much time day dreaming anyway

>> No.11718961

Fuck dude you got me. It’s always right after I manage to put down something that feels good, too. FUCK why do I have to be such a lazy capricious creature...

You know what, though? Fuck the negativity. If we all keep trying, I know every one of us will make it. Honestly. This isn’t a zero sum game.
