How often do you have existential thoughts?

Not a day goes by that I’m not at some point taken out of life by thinking about my own existence, and the existence of the world around me. They’re not even particularly deep thoughts, in fact most of the time they’re so abstract their hard to put into words. I’m often forced to phrase these questions as “Why am I me? Why is my consciousness locked inside of my body and lifespan, and of all of the possible lives it could’ve been bond to why mine?” and “Why is the world locked in this specific singular state of affairs?” Is this abnormal? Is this unhealthy?

Recently, In order to be able to discuss it without being seen as a kook I’ve started framing it as an effect of getting stoned, but while getting high makes it worse, the thoughts go all the way back to my childhood.

Posting this here instead of talking to a therapist or some gay shit because psychology is the work of the antichrist.

If you want to actually get decent answers you shouldn't post it on drama.

Is this abnormal? Is this unhealthy?

It is healthy. Everyone has existential thoughts.

As for me, I used to have existential thoughts more often, but that was years ago. It's just a phase everyone has in life.

Basically every day. It's probably not normal, but that may not be a bad thing if you can handle your existential angst.

Hardly ever, if at all. It goes away when you've got better things to do (or just accept that you can't know everything with certainty, but it doesn't follow that you should turn yourself crazy, stressing about some unlikely possibility that can't be proven as false or true).

Throw away the weed. It's a mild hallucinogenic, so no wonder you're having problems reasoning your way out of existential philosophy.

I had my first kid when i was about 21 and let me tell you if that wasnt the most serious kick in the butt about where and what i am in this universe then i dont know what is.

Days went from being blended together and me not knowing whether it was monday or friday to literally almost every day i see a physical clock infront of me reminding me that i am only getting older snd nothing can stop that but i need to enjoy the time that i'm here for both myself and my little ones.

'bussy' (boy kitty) should be a transmasculine exclusive term, not a term for cisgays to describe their buttholes.

edit: oh dear god stop the madness I didn't realize it was AAVE don't crucify me

Once you accept that none of the answers to those questions matter, they all seem to lose importance.

Wondering about them won’t change whatever abstract impact those questions may have on your life.

Live your life like a dog. Think your dog gives a shit about why he’s here and why that matters? Nope. Sleep, eat, play, shit, love. Never seen a sad dog that wasn’t being actively beaten. Consciousness was a mistake.

Yea that "why is reality viewed through my eyes specifically" kinda one would mindfrick me since I was a little kid and still makes my head hurt
