This is the internet, so no matter how many people tell me I'm wrong, it cannot become a physical fight.

This isn't something I "think about", so to speak, but rather something that made me think... I was surprised by how anxious and depressed something so simple made me: I found myself aimlessly scrolling through the years on my calendar app... I stopped on the year 2462 and saw that my birthday would be on a Sunday.
I've been thinking about it for days now and I can't get over how much it's affected me. Being that close to being able to visualize a time you can't experience is super frustrating (to me anyway).

I don't think that the day before rioting and martial law will necessarily be normal. Often there is a build up of bullshit over a period of time that finally make the general population snap.

Sometimes when I'm hiking I think about salamanders, salamanders with tits, and how awesome that would be. Then I remember that they walk close to the ground, causing their nipples to rub constantly...making them bleed profusely.

Well, you win the prize. This has to be the only thing out of all these replies that has never popped in my head. But now it will.

Whenever hiking to a campground at a national park there will usually be a three-sided wooden shelter to house people from the elements, and inside that shelter there is usually a journal people will write in and sometimes when you read the entries from different people you might find that one gem of imagination. The story I told in my previous comment was one of these journal entry gems and also included a very crudely drawn comic strip of this salamander with bloody nipples, it was by and by the funniest trail entry I have ever read, but the credit goes to the trail alias of Tree Hugger. If you are out there Tree Hugger then I would like to thank you for amazing, inspiring and insightful story about salamander tits.

"What if none of this is real? What if I'm actually imagining all of this, and am really in a psych ward because of it?"
Or, more hypothetically; "If a giant monster showed up, how would I react? I feel like I probably wouldn't because it's a giant monster, it might just be in my head, so if everyone sees me freak out, when in reality only I can see it, I'd be labeled as crazy." Basically, I'd rather be killed by a monster than seen as crazy.

What if none of this is real?
Yeah, like the theory that life really isn't real, but we're really just in an elaborate computer simulation. That freaks me out.

I think of my age, in my head. Then I use that as a starting point to make comparisons against all of my former life. Something like "I'm 31 years old. One month ago, I was _____. One year ago, I was _____. Since then, I've changed my mind about _____. ____ and _____ are no longer important people in my life, but _____ and _____ have become very close."
It gives me perspective on where I've been and how I got where I am. Helps me understand where I'm going.

Do you ever use this information to reform links with people from the past? Whenever I reach out to old friends I'm met with silence and indifference
[–] Notorious_BIG 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
No, not really. Usually, if I drifted from someone, I consider the reason we lost touch and just let it go. Mostly it's just logistics. That person or I have moved away, or got married, took a new job. I have plenty of people in my life who do want to talk to me, so I try to enjoy what I have today.

No, If they are in your past that's where they should stay. If they liked you you would still be friends with them. Sometimes that time machine is better off left in the parking space.
