Phobia of "having" thoughts

Postby Sw48 » Mon Oct 17, 2016 11:30 pm

Hey guys so its been a long time. DP has been better, up until recently. I started obsessing about how we as humans are able to think?? Its just such a weird concept. Im thinking about thinking? How I can be sitting there and get lost in my own head. Like having an imagination, freaks me out. Any others?

Hi Sw,

That's such a good question. If psychologists and neuroscientists knew how to answer it, they would. Alas, they don't.

This probably wasn't awfully helpful, but just saying that yeah, even experts don't know how it's possible. It's a fact of human life though, and very likely the life of many animals too.

My man studies psychology and I did ask him the other day, "how are humans able to think about thinking?" because I had been reading a bit about brains and nerve cells, and he said "I wish there was a scientist who knew!". Whew!
