Well, I thought my upbringing was normal and that everybody was physically and emotionally abused. It turns out that this is incorrect.

I would rate it a 0 or -1. My therapist would rate it a -9 or -10.

Thank you for that perspective, it is comforting to hear.

I hold no capacity for mental imagery, so a 5 on the Aphantasia Scale. When I think of things I do not consciously ask a question or engage in an inner monologue, either internally or externally, but instead become aware of the information that I need. My information is all stored with like information, so if you asked me about a person, then I get all of the information I have on that person including our previous conversation as though no time had passed. This makes people uncomfortable though, so I try not to reference things to specifically.

Similar to another poster here, I also hear voices, which range from background murmuring like a crowded restaurant to focused 1:1 interactions, though these are usually very brief. Additionally, I will ‘hear’ various noises and have gotten pretty good at not reacting to stuff until I gauge other peoples’ response.

I am not particularly creative. I cannot draw or create art, but I can recreate things that are in front of me.

I don’t know if that makes sense, and I am happy to answer questions if I didn’t describe it well.

The symbolism is noteworthy.

I don’t think people talk about it very much because it sounds like “I didn’t love my kid right away.” However, I believe that it is pretty common based on these types of conversations. There is an unrealistic expectation that fathers bond with these little, uninteresting blobs at first sight and I just don’t think that’s how it works.

Dad to dad, you’ll feel the bond when the kid becomes more interactive and rational. Moms can connect that little blob with no problem. It’s tougher for dads, at first. It all balances out though. What you are feeling is normal. Just stick with it and don’t cheat on your wife.

If it’s just the op, then where did all these articles come from!? Social media for ants!?

Suicide Machines on Street Corners.

So … the US Army is now an occupying force, and the Second Amendment crowd will activate to save us?

After the second watch, you should read the hours and hours of content covering the time loops and paradoxes, and then watch it three or four more times to begin to grasp what you read.

It doesn’t.
