I’m not concerned with people here finding out who I am. I’m concerned with people who know who I am finding me here.

Because “Sarah” scares me. Also, some things I admit there would be embarrassing for those close to me to know about.
It sounds like a very good start. I can easily see how the use of letter can help with remembering the gestures. Let me know how the distraction one goes especially, because I have similar issues currently.
I’d say just monitor the process carefully. One, by trying to learn multiple gestures at once, you risk burning out on all of them. The two week timeframe seems like a good counter to that. Also, as I mentioned, be careful with a gesture for negative thoughts, especially because you have it linked to a letter. The gesture should be as general and sensation-linked as possible. That way you don’t ever spark negative thoughts as a result of the gesture.
I should have clarified. It helps me deal with the heebie jeebies of walking in my backyard alone at night.
May I make a comment? So first let me say you are right, it’s bad to avoid negative thoughts. I think you made a very valid counterpoint and I updated on it. So I (now) think this is something one has to be careful with.
However, at times in one’s life these depressive thoughts can be so overwhelming that none of them get the attention they need because the person just doesn’t have the energy for them. So this has at least given me the chance to start fixing these thoughts, one at a time, instead of all at once.
More data! This apparently is also an awesome way to deal with the heebie jeebies of walking alone at night.
My dominant hand, the right. Specifically the pointer finger. Sometimes, if my right hand is occupied, it will happen with my left hand. However, I usually get upset if it does, because it feels like I’m messing something up. I hate how bizarre this sounds, but it’s as if my hands are speaking in homophones and the left hand has a slower, deeper pitch, so the word/gesture has a different meaning when coming from the left hand.
After reflecting upon your statement, I believe that I committed a case of attribute substitution. I substituted “Is this a fully fleshed out idea?” with “Is this a long post?”. Although, on further reflection, being fleshed out is perhaps necessary but definitely not sufficient for main.
This seemed long enough that it shouldn’t go in discussion. However, if anyone thinks otherwise, let me know and I’ll move it.
I could do that. I feel a little silly writing a post right after this one. It feels redundant or like karma-hogging. Can anyone deprive me of my delusions?
Edit: Done
Congratulations, you just earned yourself one “click.” I’ve never really gotten quantum physics, not that I’ve tried much. But your description as a Hilbert space makes a lot of sense to me. It also helps me understand why “decomposing the wavefunction” is important or even necessary as a concept.
Well this had more upvotes than I was expecting.
Ok, just curious. One friend of mine is very similar in many regards and those were three of the biggest parallels in our lives. Technically he was INTJ, iffy on the J too.
Additionally, you would have been freaking out if all 3 had matched.
Do you have an android device? This tool was useful for me personally. It only covers facial expressions for the fundamental emotions; however, I can now reliably notice the disgust response in people where I couldn’t before.
I get this too, and in fact have long speculated it to be the way that most people probably experience emotions.
It looks like I have to take back what I said. I was watching Moulin Rouge and a friend covered her eyes. It was the elephant room scene.
Do the the dimples on the side of your face approximate the big dipper? We are a part of a cloning project run secretly by the government in the late 80′s.
More seriously, are you an INTP? Does one of your parents have a severe mental illness? Is the other an electric engineer?
I can say, as an American, I’ve never met another person who had to cover their ears or eyes during a show because of this sensation.
Have you found any negative consequences from this exposure therapy?
To me, it signals “If you are likely too impatient to read through the entirety of a science-heavy article, here is a rough summary. However, be warned that this is a compromise and doesn’t capture the whole essence of the article.” Whereas summary means “Here is everything you need to know, in short.”
