Do you ever have a moment where..

All the sudden you have a few seconds where you wonder why you have to do this or that...& what would happen if you didnt....& how come you should care.....example would be lets say you are vegitating for whatever reason deep in thought about what not....then all the sudden you look at clock & get a shock go through you like sticking your finger in a light socket...& u think to yourself "its such & such time & oh ya.. i am supposed to go to work in so many hours from now"....but just after you remember this you become confused as to why you have to....why do I have to do that...why am i here & who is my boss anyway & why do I have to answer to him/her exactly?....& all this happens in a span of a handfull of seconds & then you come back to reality & its clear again to you what you are doing & why you do it.

...that sort of thing dont happen often to me...but when it does it is so strange & confusing...makes me feel like I am missing something...like I was asleep when everyone else got the memo lol...anybody else have moments like that?..its hard to explain but I did the best I could...it could be about anything that is in your life...appointments...people you have to deal with on a regular basis that are authority figures or have some sort of control over you & your life....or things that are everyday important to you. ....hope someone understands what i am getting at..hope it aint just me.

:?

I also just had a funny thought go through my head just now that I may have started another topic some time ago asking this very same thing....gosh I hope not....if i did im sorry,,,must just really be stuck in my head...either way this is strange to me.

I think I understand where you're coming from, and I don't know, I think I kind of feel like that a lot of the times. I think it's your mind freeing itself from the chains of society, and you see reality as it is for a second with no labels. Your boss is just a guy, and the clock on the wall is just a bunch of numbers with numbers and gears.

I dunno, am I close?

Yes i think that is kind of what I am meaning....whatever it is that you all of the sudden remember.... is all of the sudden confusing to you & you wonder why you are supposed to even care about whatever it is.

Anyone else have that happen?....I am wondering if it's an SA trait...or maybe it has nothing to do with it & could be normal.

Yes yes yes! This is music to my ears!
I end up thinking like that relatively frequently

I doubt that it has anything to do with social anxiety. It's most likely just part of being a human with a freethinking brain.

yeah I think about stuff like that all the time! Like "why do I have to listen to my boss or teachers or any authority figures? They're just other people with titles". In the end we're all just silly monkeys and nobody is better than anyone else, but society has gotten us thinking that people are higher ranks than us and can order us around

I always feel like just taking off and leaving everyone and everything behind. I'm sick of trying to live up to expectations I can't meet. Is there really something wrong with me or is that just what they want me to think?I always question everything I do and wonder for what reason.
