    Oh lmao I have thoughts like that too but it’s not necessarily what I was thinking of when I wrote my initial post. I feel like stuff like that is ‘just’ a sort of existential angst. Like it’s just sorta frustrating or confusing to think of how random yet rule-governed life in modern society feels. So we have these feelings just below the surface of like, “what if I could just do some totally unreasonable s*** and make a scene JUST BECAUSE that would be an interesting break from the mundaneness that most social interactions are.”

    Idk, that’s my 2 cents at least. I’m approaching it in terms of the mundane but it could also be anger/anxiety or any # of things. So swap the above for “what if I made a scene just because I feel so angry/scared/frustrated/confused about life.” I’m not sure if these types of thoughts are that big of a deal for most people, but some people of course do actually end up making random scenes (or worse) once they’ve hit a breaking point

    Lol I’m not much of an angry person, but I think you’re right with the mundaneness thing. Like I’m usually the most pleasant person in public, I just begin thinking like what if I...wasn’t pleasant. Idk. But instead ima try and imagine being like, extra pleasant

    How long have you been dealing with this?

    And what is your meditation practice like?

    I been dealing with this since last summer, and my meditation practice is I lay and listen to some meditation music while I focus on my breathing and let my thoughts flow in and out until my mind clears
