Self-preservation.
I was born. I didn't ask to be, but since I'm here, I'd like to live.
I don't feel numb or dissappointed. I'm pretty content actually, which is more of a neutral feeling.
I'm not married, nor have I ever been. I don't believe in marriage. I've chosen to be single at the moment because I enjoy my own company and I have no use for a boyfriend or husband at the present time.
I'm not sure why you felt the need to try and insult me. I was being quite civil with you and gave you honest responses.
by Thrill KillI don't think experiencing pleasure makes people squishy.
I can feel physical pleasure quite easily, but not emotional pleasure. I can feel it, just not very often or for very long.
The squishy bit was sarcasm. You tend to take things more seriously than they are meant, it seems. Interesting.
by Luna Preyi've given up. you talk as if endorphins and seratonin don't exist.
I'll talk as if endorphins and seratonin exist, if you'd like. I'm interested to see where you were going with this. Unless, of course, you were just trying to bait Thrill.
my thesis is that humans, by nature, associate positively or negatively with things. as a result, they have an effect on our endorphines.
i found evidence by this today when i got some weed. i realized that even though it smells bad, i enjoy it so much now. because my mind has associated positively with it.
without the ability to assiciate positively or negatively with something, how does one know not to touch the stove?
my arguement is that endorphines and the human chase for them exists in sociopaths and non-sociopaths alike. the difference is that the sociopaths chooses to live in a mental reality that focuses on what's in front of them, and as a result, they don't really choose to take the time to feel. this allows them to be more cold and calculative in their decisions.
i think thrill is just bored to be honest~
