Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.
  7. No support questions. See !techsupport@lemmy.world

It's like I observe my own thoughts while thinking them. I notice I try to escape this with vices.

Them is what you call third thoughts. It's like you have you first thought, then have second thoughts, but there's third thoughts back there keeping an eye in what's all going on

Terry Pratchett called them that in his Tiffany Aching/Witches segment of discworld.

But it's a thing, here in the real world. But it isn't something everyone experiences. Often, folks that do have nothing good to say of the experience. I sure as hell don't lol
